Heart Attacks and Drinking Warm Water

This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about heart attacks. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot green tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating.

Heart Attack

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and may lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

Heart Attack Symptoms

You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.

You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.

A cardiologist says if everyone who reads this message sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life. Read this & Send the link to a friend. It could save a life. So, please be a true friend and send this article to all your friends you care about.

Some people say that it is just an old myth to drink warm water to prevent heart attacks and I'd also like to point out that snopes.com declares this information as an urban myth and many other people agree that cold water is not related to cancer or heart attacks in any way. So, I have no idea if this is true and there is no research to support this theory however I still wanted to share this information about "heart attacks and drinking warm water" with all of you because its always better to be safe than to be sorry.

Heart Attack Information

A heart attack occurs when the blood flow to a part of the heart is suddenly and permanently cut off, causing permanent damage to the heart muscle. Chest pain is typically severe and does not go away with rest or medicine that is effective with angina. Symptoms may indicate your heart is in danger many months or years before a heart attack occurs. Persistent symptoms, such as shortness of breath, nausea, great fatigue, angina/chest pain, fainting spells and gas-like discomfort, are red flags.

  • 1 in 3 adults, both men and women, has some form of cardiovascular disease.
  • In 90% of adult victims of sudden cardiac death, two or more major coronary arteries are narrowed or blocked.
  • Brain death and permanent death start to occur in just 4-6 minutes after someone experiences cardiac arrest.
  • It is in the early or initial stage that the heart disease is almost certainly treatable.
  • The heart and brain muscles are the ones which cannot be revived once dead.
  • For a large number of patients, the first and only symptom of heart disease is a fatal heart attack. Thus diagnosis becomes extremely important for everyone and that too pre-emptive and non-invasive.

Heart Care RibbonNote: Please do not post comments asking for the scientific research behind this information. I've clearly stated in the paragraph above that this is no scientific research found about drinking warm water to prevent heart attacks and it may be an urban myth. As I mentioned above I am not sure of the origin of the information but it does illicit some questions and cause for further research. Please do your research and draw your own conclusions. By the way, I have also learned from various sources that it may be best not to drink any fluid (water or otherwise) during or directly after a meal as it dilutes naturally occurring digestive enzymes.

If you drink cold water it may solidify the oils you just ate but digestion lasts 8-10 hours while your body can probably warm cold water to normal in like 10-15 minutes?? Will it really affect the digestion/break down of fatty foods if we drink warm water after eating?

Other than the good authentication of the potential symptoms of a heart attack, most of this is specious. Looks believable but is fiction.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't EVERYTHING that you consume turn to about 98.6 degrees within seconds or maybe minutes of entering into your body? Now beckons the question; where does the "sludge" come from again?

User Comment nbooker@sath.com on Wed, Jul 18th, 2007 at 4:40 AM
Seems to me that even though some are skeptical, it can't hurt, so why not try it? We all know that water is great for our bodies, and that warm water can act as a cleanser to our systems, right? And it has been found that green tea is an incredible help to our bodies as well, right? So the sarcasm and negativity about the article aren't really necessary.

My grandmother drank a cup of hot water every morning. She never had a belemish and very few wrinkles when she passed away at 96. she always said it was the hot water in the morning. My friend drinks a cup of hot water every morning and never has a blemish!
User Comment mrcricket1932@yahoo.com on Mon, Jul 30th, 2007 at 3:34 AM
The body renders any fluid to body temperature, regardless of whether hot or cold but it will not draw extra blood to the stomach to accomplish this, as would be the case if drinking cold water or any cold drink. This the reason it is preferred to drink warm drinks in hot weather because it allows the blood to stay in the vessels of the periphery to maintain normal body cooling. That peripheral blood is reduced when needed to warm the stomach; thus rendering your body's cooling system to be put on hold.

Sharing information: it is well know that the Fins & Swedes suffer heart attacks in midlife as they Sauna then roll in snow. This is a peripheral effect an extreme vasovagal reaction to hot & cold. It is logical that cold drink we Americans imbibe, Pepsis Cokes Sweet Tea & Ice water can & do produce a severe vasovagal effect. Warm water or wine anyone? Ah the Italians, they drink warm wine & water as an everyday practice.

This is a myth. Your gall bladder releases bile that breaks down fats(emulsifies) and your body warms the water before it gets that far.

I don't know if warm water can fight fat but it certainly helps metabolism. All you guys should read about Ayurveda. Growing up in India, I used to dismiss that as a crude & unscientific science however since I now live in US that has perhaps the worst food consumption habits, Ayurveda appears to have a lot of scientific relevance.

I feel that this information can only help. It is good to know the signs of a heart attack. And at the very least, it will aid in the digestion of foods that we eat.
User Comment lcardoso@tripleeproduce.com on Tue, Dec 11th, 2007 at 1:14 PM
Portugues people also believe drinking cold beverages after you eat is bad. The food in your stomach stops digesting and you can pass out. This happened to my dad at a church festival and they had to call an ambulance.

The pain in the jaw area was the first sign of a heart attack from there it spread down my left arm now when I am doing something and the jaw starts to ache. I know to take it easy. Even being out in the cold will start my jaw to ache and it gets hard breathing. So take the doctors advice stay out of the cold and pay attention to the signs.

So, who is the original author of this information? There is no name attached to it. Any one could have written it and just because it's on the internet it's taken for truth? I've learned that half the stuff I read from the internet is incorrect, although it's made to sound quite believable. Where did this information originate? I'd like someone to convice me because it sounds like a good advice.
User Comment CFoutwest@aol.com on Fri, Jan 18th, 2008 at 7:17 AM
This is true about the pain in the arm not always happening during a heart attack also in the chest. I had neither symptom. I had what felt like a severe muscle spasm across the back and then a stomach cramp for part of the day. I could not get the spasm to go away and went to the hospital. It was a heart attack and I was hospitalised for a few days.

User Comment DSMAC24@Yahoo.com on Thu, Feb 14th, 2008 at 4:10 PM
I'm not a cardiologist but I am an exercise physiologist specializing in cardiac rehab and this article might make sense in theory, however, I truely doubt the temperature of water effects the fat we eat. The body's internal temperature is 98.6 degrees and that is warm enough to liquify any fat that might have solidified from cold water. The real fix is to avoid unhealthy saturated fats in the first place, have adequate fiber intake, and the biggest one is EXERCISE. This is your best bet to avoid cardiovascular traumas and some studies have shown to also prevent cancer.
User Comment jacksiti@aol.com on Sat, Feb 16th, 2008 at 3:59 PM
Drink a glass of warm water also before meal, because it fills our stomach quickly so we avoid of eating too much. As an asian, I used to drink a lot of warm water all day long. I don't like cold drink and ice. I believe warm water disabsorbed fat.
User Comment dretmanukphd@yahoo.co.uk on Mon, Feb 11th, 2008 at 6:57 PM
Cold water delay the process of digestion of the food and of high risk especially in late meals when heart attacks takes place while sleeping as the blood supply for the whole body decrease as blood accumulated in the GIT for a while "Including the heart muscle blood supply" which can make it worth for the heart attack.... decrease the movement of the intestine so increase fat absorption and add more weight... warm water fasten digestion and intestinal movement and without meal have a diuretic effect which is helpful for blood pressure and many other things. I think that warm "Not hot" water have another properties ionization wise even if it turned cold after drinking it with few minutes.
User Comment mamareneeg@yahoo.com on Wed, Mar 12th, 2008 at 11:28 AM

If it is a myth then you have nothing to gain nor lose. If it is not you have everything to gain. So why not do it until it is a proven fact. Warm drinks certainly will not hurt us and it logically makes sense-- rinse your dishes with cold water and you get a white residue, hot water and you get a clean plate!

User Comment turnfam3@yahoo.com on Tue, Aug 26th, 2008 at 6:20 PM
This article makes no connection between warm water and heart attacks. It mentions cancer but even then makes no real connection. Food sits in your stomach too long to be effected by the temperature of anything you eat, and this article fails to mention research that backs it's claims. Why is that important? Because for those individuals who drink chilled water to make it more palatable may read this article and decide to drink less water overall. I say the benefits of drinking more water outweigh the benefits of drinking warm water, but that's just my humble opinion.

I am not aware about chinese tea. But in the case of cold/hot water, it is not at all true. Anything you drink will be first brought to body temperature when it reaches the intestine. After that it will be digested and the energy will be sent to the other parts.
User Comment david@nospam.org on Wed, Apr 29th, 2009 at 12:19 PM
I can tell you from experience that my mother was diagnosed with heart problems when she was forty seven, and spent many weeks in hospital. Her doctor recommended she drank a cup of warm water every morning, as this would help. No real reason was ever given, and she still has heart problems, but is an active eighty four year old now, and still drinking a cup of warm water every morning, Maybe it does work, I think it must, and my mother certainly believes in it.

Drinking hot water makes sense. If you eat fatty food, the fat gets coated down your neck to intestine walls. The hot water helps in melting those fat. In ayurveda (vedic studies) we are told to drink normal water after an hour after meals. It helps in digestion. Regarding heart attack symptom , I had similar symptom few months back. Rushed to the hospital and found Vitamin B12 deficiency which was affecting my Red Blood Cell counts.

Warm water has nothing to do with the metabolism of fats inside the body.

A high fat diet is a risk for heart disease, and now there are people out there who think if they just have some warm water they'll be fine (as some of the comments below imply). Avoid eating high fat diet and do some exercise daily to keep your body healthy.

Sorry, as a cardiac nurse, the only information in this article that is true is the signs and symptoms of a heart attack. The rest is not real, and has no scientific evidence. Anyone who offers health data should be responsible enough to offer the right data.

Animal fat is what causes heart attacks. Stop eating red meat and go find iron through green leafy vegetables or beans & you wont have cardiac arrest. Instead of handballing the problem onto cold drinks, fix the problem and stop consuming so much animal fat! Our arterys cannot deal with the fat content in red meat as we eat too muich of it and that is what causes our arterys to block. All those people who consume red meat believeing its the only source of proper iron are wrong. Red meat does no good to human body. Eating red meat is giving open invitation to severe dieseases such as cardiac arrest and cancer. Please wake up & smell the roses.
