Hypertension, high cholesterol: avoid these 3 things every morning

The morning is the most important time of day, especially for those with high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Poor morning habits can insidiously increase the risk of stroke, heart attack, and atherosclerosis.

If you experience these 2 problems, you should avoid the following 3 things:

1. Drinking strong coffee or smoking cigarettes immediately after waking up

Strong coffee, rich in caffeine, accelerates the heartbeat, increases blood pressure and the blood becomes “concentrated”.

Cigarettes contain nicotine, which causes blood vessels to constrict, dramatically increases blood pressure, and can easily trigger a stroke.

👉People with high cholesterol and high blood pressure should drink only weak coffee with a low caffeine content (if any) and strictly avoid smoking.

  2. Eating fried and fatty foods for breakfast

Fried bread, fried sticky rice, fatty noodles with beef… cause an immediate increase in blood lipid levels after a meal.

Saturated fats and trans fats raise LDL cholesterol (the bad fats), causing hardening of the arteries.

👉Alternatively, choose oatmeal, whole-grain bread, hard-boiled eggs, vegetables, and low-sugar fruits.

3. Waking up too early for strenuous exercise or stress:
Immediately after waking up, blood pressure is already higher than normal. If you engage in strenuous exercise, lift heavy objects, or face stressful situations (arguments, worries) too early, your risk of stroke increases.

👉 Wake up gently, practice deep breathing, stretch, walk slowly, and then gradually increase the intensity of your exercise.                                                  

3 things to do every morning to maintain stable blood pressure and lower blood lipids

While three bad habits can easily make the situation worse, there are also three simple measures that will help your body stay healthy and purify the blood vessels:

1. Drink a glass of warm water as soon as you wake up.

Hot water thins the blood, eliminates toxins, and soothes the liver and kidneys. It's the most natural way to reawaken the body after a long night.

2. Eat a breakfast of antioxidant-rich foods.

Antioxidants help prevent atherosclerosis, protect blood vessel walls, and lower bad cholesterol levels.

They can be found in green leafy vegetables, fresh fruit, green tea, dried fruit, flaxseeds, and oats.

👉 Today, many people choose to take natural dietary supplements such as krill omega-3s and glutathione because they are rich in powerful antioxidants, help lower blood fat levels, and protect the heart.

3. Relax and do some light exercise.

Five to ten minutes of deep breathing, stretching, or walking slowly around the house helps improve blood circulation.

Staying calm in the morning will help reduce irregular blood pressure fluctuations.                                                                                                                  3 things to do every morning to maintain stable blood pressure and lower blood lipids
