Why is it important?

The Three half {not three and half minutes} minutes will greatly reduce the number of sudden deaths. Often this occurs, a person who still looks healthy, has died in the night. Often we hear stories of people, "yesterday I was chatting with him, why did he suddenly die?"
The reason is that when you wake up at night to go to the bathroom, it is often done in a rush. Immediately we stand, the brain lacks blood flow. In the middle of the night when you are awakened by the urge to urinate for example, ECG (Electro-cardiogram) pattern can change. Getting up suddenly causes the brain to be anaemic and results in heart failure, due to lack of adequate blood flow to the brain. The Three 1/2 Minutes therefore are:

1. When waking up from sleep, lie in bed for the first half minute.
2. Sit in bed for the next 1/2 minute.
3. Lower your legs, sitting on the edge of the bed for the last 1/2 minute before stepping out.

Thanks. Save a lot of lives!
