4 things many people do in the morning that put themselves closer to a stroke

Plus, when you first wake up, your stomach’s empty. Drinking salt water can irritate your esophagus and stomach lining, causing inflammation and ulcers over time.

  1. Working out too early
    Exercise is good for you, but don’t hit the gym at the crack of dawn before the sun’s up. It’s chilly then, and early exercise can lead to colds. Cold weather makes your blood vessels constrict, upping the risk of heart attacks, cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, and strokes. For those in poor health, early-morning workouts can also cause serious sleep deprivation, and your body won’t function as well, hiking the risk of injury.
  2. Chugging a lot of water as soon as you wake up
    Drinking water in the morning is beneficial, but don’t guzzle too much at once, especially in winter.

When you down a lot of water quickly, it burdens your heart. If you’ve got existing cardiovascular issues, you could experience shortness of breath, a racing heart, or even a stroke. So, it’s best to sip a small amount, about 200 – 300ml. And don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink.
