Hi,

All of us carry mobile phones with hundreds of names/ numbers but yet
nobody, other than ourselves, know which of these numbers belong to our
near and dear ones?

In case we are involved in an accident or had a heart attack and the
people attending us get hold of our mobile phone but don't know which
number to call to inform our family members?

Yes, there are many numbers stored but which one is the contact person
in case of an emergency?

For this reason, we must have one or more telephone numbers stored under
the name ICE (In Case Of Emergency) in our mobile phones. Recently, the
concept of "ICE" is catching up quickly. It is simple and an important
method of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are
carried by majority of the population, just store the number of a
contact person or person who should be contacted at during emergency as
"ICE" (Meaning In Case Of Emergency). The idea was thought up by a
paramedic who found that when they went to the scenes of accidents,
there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know
which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea
if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose.

Following a disaster in London , the East Anglican Ambulance Service has
launched a national "In Case Of Emergency (ICE)" campaign. In an
emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital staff
would then be able to quickly contact your next of kin, by simply
dialing the number stored as "ICE".

Please forward this. It won't take too many "forwards" before every body
will know about this.

It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest. For
more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc.

Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our mobile
phones today! Please forward to your all nearest and dearest.

WATER

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 lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
A serious note about heart attacks - 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.
