Maybe everyone have heard a lot about stroke. Stroke now not just happens to the elderly but to many young people.

Stroke is very dangerous. If it’s not detected and treated promptly, it can seriously affect our lives. I read something in the newspaper, and know that there are some things we do in the morning that can easily cause a stroke. Below I will share information about those habits.

Well, we should avoid them and not do them because they can easily lead to a stroke. According to doctor Nguyen Xuan Quang (Military Medical Academy), he warned everyone to immediately stop some bad habits in the morning to avoid stroke.

1. Jumping up immediately in the morning
This is a habit of many people. According to health experts, this habit can most easily cause stroke in the morning.

As per Dr. Quang, it is warned: You need to stop the habit of jumping up in the morning immediately. That’s because when sleeping, the parasympathetic nervous system is active, the heart beats slower, contracts more gently, and blood pressure is lower than when awake.

If you suddenly wake up, the sympathetic nervous system is strongly activated, resulting in the heart to beat stronger and faster, causing blood pressure to increase. That makes small blood vessels in the brain more likely to rupture, causing a hemorrhagic stroke.

Doctor Quang also recommends that after waking up, everyone should lie down for another 1-2 minutes. Use your hands to massage your face, head eyes, and neck to wake up before getting up.

2. Drink a glass of diluted salt water right after waking up

I’m sure taht many people have had this habit because they think it has a very good antiseptic effect, k–ills bacteria in the mouth, strengthens teeth, and strengthens gums.

However, that does not mean we are advised to drink salt water early in the morning because eating too much salt has long been warned that it can cause high blood pressure, stroke, kidney damage…

Additionally, when we just wake up, our stomach is empty, drinking saliva will have effects on the esophagus and stomach lining, causing inflammation and ulcers over time.

3. Exercise when it’s too early
Exercise is still good for health but people should not exercise at dawn, when the sun has not yet risen. That’s because at this time the temperature is still low, exercising early can lead to colds, cold weather can easily cause vasoconstriction, more dangerously it can cause myocardial infarction and cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases and stroke. For those with poor health, exercising early in the morning also causes serious sleep deprivation, at which time our bodies will not be able to function as effectively as expected and increase the risk of injury.

4. Drink a lot of water as soon as you wake up
Drinking water in the morning is very good but you are advised not to drink too much at once, especially in winter.

That’s because when we drink too much water in a short time, it will increase the load on the heart. For those with existing cardiovascular problems, symptoms such as shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat, or even stroke may occur. So, it is best for everyone to only drink a small amount of water, about 200 ~ 300ml, which is enough. In addition, when drinking small sips, don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink water.

I read the above information in the newspaper and found it interesting, so I’m sharing it so everyone can know.

Because stroke is very dangerous, affecting our lives, everyone should be careful even with small daily habits, especially morning habits.
