The absence of physical activity immediately after waking up is a common habit among people who have had a heart attack.
Lent.az citing foreign media reports, states that British cardiologist Sana Sadogsay mentioned this in her statement.
According to the doctor, regardless of age and lifestyle, a common characteristic has been identified among patients with a history of heart attack: remaining inactive for a long time in the mornings. After getting out of bed, these people immediately move into a sitting position, "reach for their phones," then go to work, and again remain seated for hours.
Sadogsay explained that such a routine promotes the accumulation of fat in the abdominal area, raises blood pressure, and contributes to the development of latent inflammation that negatively affects the cardiovascular system.
The cardiologist emphasized that these risks can be reduced with simple morning activity. According to her, just five minutes of light exercise, stretching, jogging, or brisk walking is sufficient.
Such physical exertion improves blood circulation, activates metabolism, helps stabilize blood sugar levels, and plays an additional protective role for the heart.
