Plan on acute heart failure?
Nobody wants to rush to the emergency room gasping for breath, and then spend a few days dining on hospital fare with your butt hanging out of the most unflattering attire imaginable.
“Ho ho ho?”
“I don’t think so!”
Yet, if you are shopping ‘til you drop, and then having chips and dips and drinks with desert (prescription medication too?), you are asking for a hospitalized holiday!
Lack of sleep, water and good wholesome food will catch up with you quick.
You waste SO much energy processing and eliminating stimulants, alcohol and junk food!
Plan on avoiding acute heart failure!
Want to enjoy your holiday?
- Sip water all day!
- Sit QUIETLY for the first 10–30 minutes everyday. Spend some time with yourself.
- Be Active in a way you enjoy so you will be consistent!
Inactivity is an invitation for acute heart failure.
Do you find it very difficult to be active?

These are great tips. Let’s especially not forget our consistent exercise program during the holiday season. Let’s not make the excuse that we don’t have time, please, force ourselves to have time.
You are so very welcome Lynn!
Aldhis, this is a great tip I learned from Stephen Cherniske, author of The Caffeine Blues.
Really nice guy, and talk about smart!
He says that if you drink 4 ounces, no more, no less, and then wait for 15 minutes, you should begin to feel your thirst rather quickly. When 15 minutes has passed, drink only 4 more ounces and wait another 15 minutes before you check in with your thirsty meter:)
Keep repeating this process only until you are no longer thirsty.
When you meet your water needs first thing in the morning, you become aware when your need for water returns. By sipping water all day long we can stay well hydrated, which is very health building.
Water is necessary! The more water you drink, the less you will feel like drinking health robbing beverages.
If I have a headache, a couple glasses of water work better than an aspirin.
As far as how much, Stephen says half your body weight in ounces is a good rule of thumb.
Take a shower on the inside. Have a glass of water!
Many blessings,
Carrie
How long we should drink this water for every 15 minutes? A whole morning or whole day?
I always drink a glass of water every morning, is it enough?
Thanks for the great reminder to take care of ourselves at this hectic time of year.
