If you have these 5 habits when you wake up in the morning, you will definitely die earlier than others

When you wake up from sleep, get up, eat, exercise, and start your day, you may make mistakes unknowingly. Some of these mistakes may induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events for patients with hypertension.

Five morning habits that speed up your death

Getting up too early

When people are sleeping, their blood pressure is relatively low. When they just wake up, their blood pressure will rise rapidly, especially for some hypertensive patients with morning peak phenomenon. Getting up too quickly and too vigorously may cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and cause serious diseases such as cerebral vascular rupture. Some hypertensive patients also have vascular movement disorders due to arteriosclerosis and other reasons. If their body position changes too quickly, they are prone to orthostatic hypotension, insufficient blood supply to the brain, dizziness or fainting. It is recommended to adhere to the "221" principle when getting up, that is, when you just wake up, open your eyes and lie on the bed for 2 minutes, sit for 2 minutes after getting up, sit by the bed and wait for 1 minute before standing up and moving around.

Don't like drinking water

The blood is thicker in the early morning and is more likely to form blood clots. After getting up, you should drink a large glass of warm water as soon as possible, which can dilute the viscous blood more quickly. Water can be absorbed through the stomach and intestines within 10 minutes and enter the blood circulation, reducing the occurrence of stroke and myocardial infarction.

Straining too hard to defecate

Clinically, some patients do suffer cerebral hemorrhage due to defecation. When you wake up in the morning, your blood pressure is already high. If you strain to defecate, abdominal pressure will increase and your blood pressure will rise even faster. If the patient has sclerosis of the small arteries in his brain, the small arteries in his brain may rupture and bleed if you strain. When you have dry stools or difficulty defecating, do not exert excessive force or hold your breath, or hold your breath while exerting excessive force. You should eat more vegetables, bananas, etc. rich in crude fiber. If you really cannot feel the effect, you should see a doctor and use medication to treat constipation.

Breakfast is too oily and salty

Fried dough sticks, fried eggs, etc. are high-fat and high-calorie foods. Many hypertensive patients also have hyperlipidemia. Eating too much oil and salt will worsen atherosclerosis. You can drink a glass of milk or a bowl of porridge for breakfast, and eat a boiled egg and some fruits and vegetables every other day.

Morning Exercise

This mainly refers to the autumn and winter seasons, when the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor areas gradually increases. Some people go out for morning exercises at four or five o'clock. At this time, people are easily stimulated by the cold, which makes the already high blood pressure in the morning rise faster, thereby increasing the possibility of cerebrovascular accidents. It is recommended that you schedule your exercise time around 4 pm. Aerobics, Tai Chi, brisk walking, etc. are all good ways to exercise. Blindly excessive exercise may also induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.

Ways to keep healthy

Diet and Health

A reasonable diet can regulate the essence and qi, correct the imbalance of yin and yang in the internal organs, prevent and treat diseases, and prolong life. According to the health care theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the diet should be based on "five grains for nourishment, five fruits for assistance, no accumulation for benefit, and five vegetables for filling". It is also necessary to pay attention to the harmonization of the five flavors. Otherwise, it will cause illness due to nutritional imbalance, physical imbalance, and dysfunction of the five internal organs.

Sports Health

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "if a person works hard to be physically active, all kinds of diseases will not occur." Therefore, the ancients explored and formed dynamic methods such as massage, qigong, tai chi, Baguazhang, and five animal exercises in medical and daily life practices to strengthen the body and prolong life. Of course, if people are overworked, it is easy to cause "injury caused by overwork", also known as "five injuries caused by overwork", that is, long-term viewing hurts the blood, long-term lying hurts the qi, long-term sitting hurts the flesh, long-term standing hurts the bones, and long-term walking hurts the tendons.

Calming the mind and keeping healthy

Calming the mind and maintaining health plays an important role in traditional Chinese medicine. The ancients believed that the spirit is the master of life activities. Keeping the spirit clear and the mind balanced can maintain the original energy, make the five internal organs harmonious, help prevent disease, improve health and prolong life. On the contrary, it will lead to internal injury of emotions, such as anger hurting the liver, joy hurting the heart, thinking hurting the spleen, worry hurting the lungs, and fear hurting the kidneys, and even induce various physical and mental illnesses.

Health and wellness

According to TCM health theory, anyone who pursues health and longevity should first start with self-cultivation. For example, one should eliminate all kinds of delusions, say more good words, and do more good deeds. This can make one's mind open and emotionally stable, thus maintaining physical and mental health.

Regulating Qi and Preserving Health

The human body's vital energy has the functions of generating, promoting and consolidating blood, warming and nourishing the tissues throughout the body, resisting pathogenic factors, and enhancing the functions of internal organs. Many factors, such as nutritional imbalance, improper work and rest, emotional disorder, and the attack of pathogenic factors, can lead to deficiency, depression, stagnation, and reversal of vital energy, and thus cause pathological changes in the body. Traditional Chinese medicine's Qi-regulating and health-preserving method advocates a series of measures to regulate vital energy, eliminate diseases and prolong life, such as being careful in daily life, following the four seasons, avoiding overwork, preventing excessive leisure, regulating diet, harmonizing the five flavors, regulating the seven emotions, saving speech, and practicing breathing.
