This one morning habit is responsible for 80% of heart attacks, a Japanese cardiologist revealed. Heart-related diseases are increasing rapidly these days. Heart attacks, which once occurred after 60, are now increasing among young people in their 20s and 30s. In most cases, the reason behind this is actually our eating habits and overall lifestyle. Sometimes, even the smallest daily habits become the cause of serious problems like heart attacks. Dr. Shreya Garg explains in an Instagram post that a Japanese cardiologist found in her research that 80% of heart attacks begin with one morning habit. This habit is so common that most people repeat it on a daily basis. Let's learn more about it.
22 Years of Research Revealed a Shocking Fact
According to Dr. Shreya, Japanese cardiologists conducted research for approximately 22 years on patients who appeared completely fit on paper, were of normal weight, did not smoke, and had no family history of heart attacks. Despite this, these patients suffered heart attacks between the ages of 40 and 50. One common trait among all these patients was that they began their day in "stress mode." This meant that as soon as they woke up, their bodies immediately went into active mode. This habit gradually began to weigh heavily on the heart.
Rising early in the morning can be dangerous.
Doctors say the biggest mistake is standing up immediately after waking up. Most people repeat this mistake daily. The problem is that while their minds are awake, their bodies aren't, which takes its toll on their hearts. This causes rapid increases in blood pressure, increases levels of the stress hormone cortisol, and constricts blood vessels. This is a form of stress for a young heart, but it poses no less of a threat to an older heart.
60 seconds in the morning determine the next 24 hours
Research by cardiologists has found that the first 60 seconds of the morning determine the rest of the 24 hours for your heart. If you suddenly stand up from lying down, your entire system panics. You may feel like you're getting up, but your body senses an attack.
So, what's the right way to wake up in the morning?
Dr. Shreya explains that Japanese hospitals follow a slightly different method of getting up in the morning. Instead of standing up immediately, you should lie down for a while. Take four slow, deep breaths, then sit down with your head bowed and stay in this position for about 10 seconds. After that, go and stand up. This small habit gives the body time to adjust and prevents sudden pressure on the heart.
These changes were observed in patients after just 30 days.
The doctor says that by starting their day this way, patients saw significant results. These include a 35% reduction in morning cortisol, 52% less pressure on nerves, improved energy levels, and reduced heart palpitations. In some, chest pressure was even reduced to almost zero. This didn't require any medication or device. Just this simple habit resulted in positive changes in the body.
