4 morning habits that accidentally bring you closer to heart disease

Some morning habits, no matter how small, if maintained for many years, will also burden the cardiovascular system. They put the heart under high pressure, increase inflammation, thereby increasing the risk of early development of cardiovascular disease.

Some of the following morning habits can unintentionally pose a potential risk to heart health:

Do not drink water immediately after waking up

After a long night's sleep, the body loses water through breathing and excretion. Therefore, when we wake up, we are often in a state of mild dehydration. If we do not drink about 200-300 ml of water immediately, the blood can become thicker and the heart has to work harder to pump it throughout the body, according to the health website Healthline (USA).

Exercising right after waking up without warming up properly will put pressure on the heart.

Drinking water right after waking up in the morning helps maintain osmotic pressure, reduce pressure on the blood vessel walls, and keep the cells lining the blood vessels healthy. In addition, water helps detoxify, regulate blood pressure, and balance electrolytes. If the body is left in a state of prolonged dehydration, it will create hidden pressure on the heart and blood vessels.

Hurry up and exercise now

Morning exercise is recommended because it helps to kick-start the metabolism and maintain a healthy circadian rhythm. However, if we suddenly do vigorous exercises, such as running or jumping immediately, it can cause a shock to the cardiovascular system, especially when the blood vessels are not yet functioning smoothly after a long sleep.

Therefore, it is very important to warm up thoroughly before exercising. Exercisers should warm up with stretching exercises and slow walking. These movements help blood vessels dilate, improve circulation and reduce the risk of endothelial damage when blood flow and pressure suddenly increase.

Eating too much salt for breakfast

Eating salty breakfast foods, such as cold cuts, ham, salty sticky rice or instant noodles, can raise blood pressure right from the start of the day. Sodium in salt causes the body to retain water, increases blood volume, increases pressure on the blood vessel walls and makes the heart work harder. Therefore, good choices are low-salt foods such as egg bread, porridge with boiled vegetables, sticky rice with peanuts, green beans, oats, potatoes or boiled corn.

View work email

The habit of opening your phone or tablet to check emails, messages, and work as soon as you wake up seems harmless, but it can easily trigger a stress response. As a result, as soon as you wake up, the concentration of the stress hormone cortisol in your body increases, causing your heart rate and blood pressure to increase as soon as your body leaves sleep.

Every time the pressure is received, the body temperature and sympathetic nervous system will be stimulated, leading to increased vasoconstriction and the heart's oxygen demand. If this condition persists, it will easily damage endothelial cells, according to Healthline .
