6. 预防冠心病瘁死的三个半分钟是什么？

答：科学家提出三个半分钟是：（1）睡醒后，在床上躺半分钟，不要马上起床，以免脑缺血而引起血压不正常；〔2〕起床前，在床上坐半分钟，缓解全身血流量的平衡；（3）下地前，先将两腿下垂在床沿下，两脚着地，等半分钟。

这样三个半分钟预防心脑血管急性出血，梗塞和半身不遂的中风症。

What is the 3 x 1/2 minutes that help to prevent sudden death due to coronary heart disease?

Answer: Scientists put forth these 3 x 1/2 minutes: (1) When you wake up, lie on bed for 1/2 minute. Do not immediately climb up. This prevents lack of blood in the brain which gives rise to abnormal blood pressure. (2) Sit on bed for 1/2 minute to allow the blood in the entire body time to find its balance. (3) Before you stand up, sit by the edge of the bed with your feet on the ground for 1/2 minute.

These 3 x 1/2 minutes help to prevent bleeding of the blood vessels of the heart and brain, blockage, semi-paralysis and stroke.
