1. 0:00Did you know that most heart attacks
2. 0:02and strokes happen within the first
3. 0:04three hours of waking up? And that
4. 0:07there are four morning habits that
5. 0:08increase your risk of them happening.
6. 0:10The worst part, though, is that there
7. 0:12are people who keep repeating these
8. 0:14mistakes day after day, thinking they
9. 0:17are normal. Hello everyone, I am
10. 0:18Gianluca Italiano from Almafisio, and
11. 0:20today I will show you which four bad
12. 0:22habits you may be engaging in every
13. 0:24single day that put you at a serious
14. 0:26risk of suffering a stroke or a heart
15. 0:28attack. Don't worry though, because I
16. 0:29will also show you the changes that you
17. 0:31can make in order to remain safe and
18. 0:33avoid any potential risks for yourself.
19. 0:34Now, the first thing to do is to
20. 0:36understand what naturally happens to
21. 0:38your body, your heart, and your blood
22. 0:40pressure when you wake up in the
23. 0:42morning. When you are sleeping, your
24. 0:44body enters into a phase of recovery
25. 0:46and of cleansing. Your blood pressure
26. 0:49drops slightly, the beats of your body
27. 0:51slow down, and your entire
28. 0:52cardiovascular system enters into a
29. 0:54state of energy-saving mode for the
30. 0:56time being. But when you finally wake
31. 0:58up, everything suddenly changes; there
32. 1:00is a sharp spike in blood pressure,
33. 1:02your body begins to beat much faster,
34. 1:04and your entire system goes back on
35. 1:06alert to prepare you for the busy day
36. 1:08that is about to come ahead. It’s
37. 1:11precisely in this situation that your
38. 1:13blood becomes more viscous and clots
39. 1:14are more likely to form. In general,
40. 1:16though, these are changes that happen
41. 1:18every day and our body should be
42. 1:20prepared for them. The real danger,
43. 1:22however, arises after the age of 50,
44. 1:24when our tissues are no longer as
45. 1:26elastic or in shape as those of a 20-
46. 1:28year-old, and to make matters worse, we
47. 1:30also add several negative habits.
48. 1:32It’s at these times that the heart
49. 1:33becomes overloaded, inflammation
50. 1:35increases, and we greatly increase the
51. 1:37risk of heart attacks and strokes.
52. 1:39Let’s analyze it first. Tell me the
53. 1:41truth right away. When you wake up, you
54. 1:43get out of bed abruptly because getting
55. 1:46out of bed quickly is one of the most
56. 1:48common mistakes. No, I’m not saying
57. 1:50that you’re the kind of person
58. 1:52who’s ready to go as soon as the
59. 1:53alarm goes off. Maybe in that case you
60. 1:56take it easy, but maybe while you're in
61. 1:58bed you need to go to the bathroom, you
62. 2:00feel your bladder calling you and you
63. 2:02go straight to the bathroom without
64. 2:04even stopping. This seems harmless, it
65. 2:07seems like a small thing, but for a
66. 2:09heart that may already be suffering, it
67. 2:12can be a shock that it can't handle.
68. 2:14When you stand up quickly, your body
69. 2:16has to adapt to gravity in just a few
70. 2:18seconds. The blood rushes immediately
71. 2:20down to your legs, and your heart must
72. 2:22begin beating harder to continue
73. 2:24pumping sufficient blood up to your
74. 2:25brain to maintain your focus. This
75. 2:27leads to tachycardia, but also to
76. 2:29consequent hypertension. And for those
77. 2:31individuals who already possess stiff
78. 2:33and inelastic arteries, it can prove to
79. 2:35be a significantly demanding effort.
80. 2:37Now, think about this for a moment. Has
81. 2:39it ever happened to you that you got up
82. 2:41too quickly in the morning and felt a
83. 2:44bit dazed with your head spinning, or
84. 2:46perhaps you struggled to speak or felt
85. 2:48a tingling sensation or heaviness in
86. 2:50some part of your body? This is not a
87. 2:52permanent problem. Sometimes these
88. 2:54things come on suddenly and go away
89. 2:56after a few seconds, but they are a
90. 2:59clear sign that your cardiovascular
91. 3:01system is struggling. The problem is
92. 3:03that the majority of people tend to
93. 3:05ignore these symptoms, as they believe
94. 3:07they are simply related to their
95. 3:09advanced age. Now, here's the important
96. 3:11part. There's a very simple solution to
97. 3:13this problem. When you wake up, stop
98. 3:16sitting in bed for at least one or two
99. 3:18minutes, starting by moving your ankles
100. 3:21and feet. This will reactivate
101. 3:24circulation from the periphery. It will
102. 3:26help your muscles contract to help
103. 3:29blood flow back to the brain and avoid
104. 3:31a very serious danger that you could
105. 3:34encounter every morning when you wake
106. 3:36up. The second habit is really common,
107. 3:39especially among Italians. Be honest.
108. 3:41What's the first thing you do when you
109. 3:43wake up? Go and have a nice coffee on
110. 3:45an empty stomach, right? This is
111. 3:47something that many people think is
112. 3:49healthy, because, in fact, coffee is
113. 3:51not bad for your body; sometimes it can
114. 3:54even help it, because it is rich in
115. 3:56antioxidants. However, for someone who
116. 3:58is already a certain age, who has stiff
117. 4:00blood vessels and who perhaps already
118. 4:02suffers from hypertension, drinking
119. 4:04coffee on an empty stomach as soon as
120. 4:06you wake up is certainly not the ideal
121. 4:07thing to do. Let me explain why. As
122. 4:10soon as you wake up, your levels of
123. 4:11cortisol, which is the stress hormone,
124. 4:13are already quite high; in fact, this
125. 4:15is the very natural mechanism that your
126. 4:17body uses in order to get you back into
127. 4:19motion once again. Now, if you add a
128. 4:21concentrated coffee on an empty stomach
129. 4:24to this existing stimulus, the caffeine
130. 4:26will amplify the effect of cortisol,
131. 4:28easily leading to an increased risk of
132. 4:30heart attacks and a sudden spike in
133. 4:32your blood pressure. Let's be clear,
134. 4:35though, this happens especially when
135. 4:36you drink coffee on an empty stomach.
136. 4:39In this specific case, caffeine is
137. 4:40absorbed much more quickly, and
138. 4:41consequently its effects are
139. 4:43significantly more intense. Those
140. 4:45palpitations, nervousness, or feelings
141. 4:47of discomfort that you might experience
142. 4:49are not insignificant and should not be
143. 4:51ignored. In fact, consider that some of
144. 4:54the most common strokes are due to a
145. 4:56hemorrhagic problem in which the
146. 4:58pressure is too high, a blood vessel
147. 5:01bursts, blood flows into your brain and
148. 5:03leads to irreversible damage. However,
149. 5:05I've already talked about these aspects
150. 5:07in another video and if you want to
151. 5:08learn more, you can find it by clicking
152. 5:09here above. Now, let's clarify
153. 5:11something. Coffee in and of itself is
154. 5:14not 100%bad. There are coffees and
155. 5:17coffees, and there are good and bad
156. 5:20times. Consider that for certain
157. 5:22individuals who maintain an incorrect
158. 5:24diet, coffee represents the primary
159. 5:25source of antioxidants, and therefore
160. 5:27it is not harmful to them at all. In
161. 5:30fact, studies have shown that those who
162. 5:32drink one or two cups of coffee a day
163. 5:34have a lower risk of cardiovascular
164. 5:36problems. However, we are talking about
165. 5:38quality coffee that has been lightly
166. 5:40roasted, which is certainly not what
167. 5:41most of us drink. But here I am not
168. 5:43just talking about coffee, but about
169. 5:46when and how you drink it. All you need
170. 5:48to do is do one thing before you start
171. 5:50this bad habit. Start your day with a
172. 5:53nice glass of water. You need to
173. 5:55understand that when you sleep, your
174. 5:57body naturally becomes dehydrated. In
175. 6:00fact, you go 7-8 hours without drinking
176. 6:03and slowly, through breathing, you also
177. 6:06lose oxygen and water vapor. Start your
178. 6:09day by rehydrating yourself with at
179. 6:11least one 250-300 ml glass, perhaps by
180. 6:13adding a mint leaf and a little bit of
181. 6:16lemon, and postpone your morning coffee
182. 6:18until after you have eaten breakfast,
183. 6:20which is the best moment to enjoy it
184. 6:23while avoiding any of its negative
185. 6:25effects. The third bad habit is perhaps
186. 6:27the most underrated. And yet, even
187. 6:30today, many people suffer from serious
188. 6:32problems such as strokes and heart
189. 6:34attacks when they go to the bathroom.
190. 6:36When they go to the bathroom and want
191. 6:38to take a nice hot shower. We all feel
192. 6:40the heat, it's pleasant, but you need
193. 6:42to understand what happens to your body
194. 6:44when you take a shower that's too hot.
195. 6:46Your blood vessels suddenly dilate to
196. 6:49disperse the heat. This can result in a
197. 6:51sudden drop in blood pressure, which
198. 6:53forces your heart to have to work a
199. 6:54great deal harder to compensate for it.
200. 6:56Stop, though, because even a cold
201. 6:58shower is not a good choice. In fact,
202. 7:01the effect is the opposite. In this
203. 7:02case, your blood vessels suddenly
204. 7:05constrict, excessively increasing your
205. 7:07blood pressure and once again putting
206. 7:09you at risk of a hemorrhagic stroke. I
207. 7:12recommend that you take a warm shower
208. 7:14in the morning, not too cold or too hot
209. 7:16. Finally, the fourth habit, in my
210. 7:18opinion the most dangerous and probably
211. 7:21also the most common. Current
212. 7:23statistics tell us that at least eight
213. 7:25out of 10 Italians do not eat enough
214. 7:27fiber during the day. The consequence
215. 7:29is that in the morning when they go to
216. 7:32the bathroom they have a lot of
217. 7:33difficulty in evacuating and you may
218. 7:36not realize this difficulty, but it
219. 7:38terribly increases intravascular
220. 7:39pressure and the strain on the heart.
221. 7:42Having a stroke or heart attack during
222. 7:44defecation is an increasingly common
223. 7:47problem in modern populations. Think
224. 7:49about it: if you have the same
225. 7:51breakfast every morning, consisting of
226. 7:53milk and biscuits or maybe a croissant
227. 7:55or a slice of toast, and if the day
228. 7:56before your dinner was also poor in
229. 7:58vegetables, fruit, whole grains and
230. 8:00legumes, your intestines must eliminate
231. 8:02all these substances, struggling
232. 8:03tremendously and enduring a terrible
233. 8:05effort in order to successfully expel
234. 8:07them from your system. Never
235. 8:09underestimate what you eat in relation
236. 8:11to your health. Every time you sit down
237. 8:13to eat something, you are making a very
238. 8:15important choice for your future. There
239. 8:17are certain foods that are negative for
240. 8:19you and will lead to illnesses, while
241. 8:21others are like real medicines that
242. 8:23will make you feel well and healthy. If
243. 8:25you see that you are already suffering
244. 8:28in the morning, that you have strange
245. 8:30symptoms, that you have weakness in
246. 8:32your legs, dizziness, difficulty moving
247. 8:35, and pain everywhere, don't wait even
248. 8:37one more day. Your choices at the table
249. 8:40and in what you do every day will
250. 8:41determine your future health. But if
251. 8:44you want to learn more about how to
252. 8:46improve your cardiovascular system and
253. 8:48avoid all these problems, I have put a
254. 8:50link in the description to a simple and
255. 8:52free PDF in which I give you precise
256. 8:54instructions on what to do every day to
257. 8:56feel good. That's all for today. Bye
258. 8:58and thank you.
