People often say: The day’s plan begins in the morning. After a night's sleep, physical strength and energy are restored, and you feel refreshed and happy when you wake up in the morning. But did you know that morning is the high-risk period for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death are prone to occur, so you should be highly vigilant.
Blood pressure is not static, it fluctuates 24 hours a day and fluctuates regularly. Blood pressure gradually decreases while sleeping at night, until it reaches the lowest level around 2:00 to 3:00 in the morning. Blood pressure rises rapidly after waking up in the morning, with the first peak of blood pressure between 6:00 and 10:00 in the morning. Continuously elevated blood pressure in the morning will damage multiple organs and systems such as the heart, brain, kidneys, and blood vessels, causing the hematopoietic system to be in a coagulation state, inducing myocardial hypertrophy, increasing myocardial oxygen consumption, and also promoting platelet aggregation and causing atherosclerosis. Sclerosis and ischemic stroke can even cause myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death.
1. Get up immediately
Get up and get dressed immediately after opening your eyes in the morning. There is no buffering process for the body. The blood flow rate is slow, so that the brain cannot obtain oxygen and blood supply in time. It can cause headaches, dizziness, and even cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. So don't get up too quickly or too hard. After opening your eyes, move your limbs first, then get up slowly, sit on the edge of the bed for 1 to 2 minutes before getting dressed.
2. Urinate immediately after waking up
Many people run to the toilet to urinate as soon as they wake up in the morning. This behavior is not advisable. During sleep, the basal metabolic rate is low, the heart rate is slow, the blood pressure drops, and the transport speed of various physiological functions of the body is also relatively slow. After waking up in the morning, suddenly running to the toilet to empty your bladder quickly can cause hypotension, cause temporary ischemia and hypoxia in the brain, and even cause micturition syncope. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, no matter how urgent they are to urinate in the morning, they cannot get up immediately and run to the toilet. They must move slowly when getting up, and then go to the toilet slowly to urinate.
3. Straining to defecate
When straining to defecate, you need to hold your breath, which keeps the diaphragm and abdominal wall muscles in a state of contraction, leading to an increase in abdominal pressure and intracranial pressure, resulting in a sharp rise in blood pressure. Increases myocardial oxygen consumption, causing myocardial infarction or angina pectoris, even severe arrhythmia, and may also lead to sudden cardiac death. Therefore, no matter it is in the morning or at any time, you should not force your bowel movements. If necessary, you should follow the doctor's advice and use laxative drugs.
4. Work immediately
Because many people are busy at work, the first thing after waking up in the morning is to work. However, the brain is not fully awakened in the morning, which not only reduces work efficiency, but also easily causes fatigue. After getting up in the morning, you should get up slowly and stretch, eat breakfast, and do moderate exercise before getting into intense work.
Warm reminder
In addition, you should not do strenuous exercise immediately after waking up in the morning, such as skipping rope, doing sit-ups, and square dancing. Doing strenuous exercise after getting up in the morning can stimulate excessive sympathetic nerve excitement, disrupt autonomic nerve rhythms, make people excessively nervous and anxious, and even cause myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. After waking up in the morning, you should drink a cup of warm water first, which can replenish water for the body in time, help dilute the blood and reduce blood viscosity; at the same time, have a nutritious breakfast, and choose gentle aerobic exercise after breakfast, such as walking or Tai Chi. .
