According to Dr. Albert Sanagustin, the period immediately after waking, especially between six and ten in the morning, is associated with a higher number of cardiovascular problems. After several hours of rest, the body undergoes a sudden change that increases the likelihood of a heart attack, while most people abruptly dive into their daily routine at that moment. The Spanish magazine Cope reports that the cause lies in a series of internal reactions triggered as soon as we get out of bed. Therefore, Sanagustin recommends a simple habit that can help reduce this risk: immediately upon waking, before getting up, one should drink a glass of water at room temperature. He explains that this simple move has an immediate effect on the circulatory system. Water helps hydrate the body and makes blood flow more easily through the blood vessels. It is also important, he notes, that this gesture sends an instant signal to the body to gently constrict the blood vessels and raise blood pressure just enough to prevent a loss of balance. This way, the body gradually prepares for the change in position and the start of daily activities. This advice, which the doctor describes as a "lifesaver at no cost," not only helps to start circulation more safely but also encourages early morning hydration. According to him, this is important for all organs to function properly throughout the day. A similar recommendation is given by WebMD, with the added idea of adding a little flavor to the morning glass of water. "Morning is the best time for hydration. The body has just gone through a long fast. For a simple initial boost, squeeze half a lemon into your first morning glass of water for a bright source of antioxidant phytonutrients, vitamin C, and potassium," it states.
