When the body transitions from nighttime rest to morning activity, blood pressure is slightly higher. Therefore, if you start your day with strenuous exercise, heavy weightlifting, or emotional stress, such as arguments or worries, you overload your heart and blood vessels, which can increase your risk of stroke. Several studies have shown that an exaggerated rise in morning blood pressure is linked to an increased risk of stroke in people with hypertension, even when their overall daily blood pressure is controlled

So instead of practicing these harmful habits, adopt morning habits that can help your body stay healthy and keep your blood vessels clean, such as drinking warm water, eating breakfast with antioxidant-rich foods including green vegetables, fresh fruit, green tea, nuts and flax seeds, and practicing deep breathing, stretching, or walking slowly.
