"Do you know, Uncle Zhang, recently I came across a very interesting case of a patient who had a heart attack due to waking up early to watch TV. ”
On a sunny weekend, Dr. Zhao and his friend, Wang Qiang, a senior lawyer, climbed a mountain to relax.
As the two walked and chatted, they inadvertently saw an old man picking herbs on the hillside.
This scene sparked Dr. Zhao's interest in health topics and he began to share his insights with Wang.
Wang Qiang was very interested after hearing this, so he asked, "Doctor Zhao, are you saying that getting up early to watch TV can also have such a big impact on the heart?"
Dr. Zhao smiled and explained, "Yes, Wang Qiang, many people don't know a few things that should not be done in the morning, such as a nervous mental state, excessive body movement, and seemingly relaxing activities such as watching TV. ”
First of all, in the morning, the cardiovascular system is relatively fragile, and the body needs a slow adaptation process when it suddenly shifts from sleep to wakefulness.
If you wake up in the morning with excessive mental or physical activity, such as intense exercise or emotionally charged TV programming, these can cause an increased burden on the heart.
Dr Zhao referred to a study that showed that the incidence of heart disease and cerebrovascular accidents was 30% higher in the morning than at other times.
Especially when watching exciting news or sports games, a person's heart rate increases and blood pressure rises, which is a very dangerous trigger for older people who already have underlying cardiovascular problems.
Dr. Zhao then shared a specific story of a patient who had a heart attack in the morning while watching an intense soccer match.
Although he had a history of high blood pressure and coronary heart disease, he was not aware of the risks of watching the game in the morning.
Dr. Zhao then made a point that many people don't realize: watching TV in the morning is not only due to the mood swings that the content can cause, but also an issue that is rarely mentioned is indoor lighting.
The change from complete darkness to sudden brightness in the morning is an irritation to the eyes, which may affect vision in the long run and indirectly affect blood flow to the brain, which is also a potential factor that is not good for cardiovascular disease.
In addition, he mentioned that from the perspective of the biological clock, the human body is gradually rejuvenating from its nighttime dormancy in the early morning, and this point in time should be the time of gradual awakening of the body, rather than mental overstimulation.
He suggests that you can do some gentle activities in the morning, such as walking or doing some gentle stretching exercises, to allow your body to gradually adjust to the start of the day.
Dr. Zhao's words triggered Wang Qiang's deep thought, and he said with emotion: "It seems that every little habit we have may have a big impact on our health." ”
The two chatted very devotedly, and before they knew it, they had reached the top of the mountain.
After enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery for a while, they began to descend with a new awareness of a healthy lifestyle.
"Now that we know the potential risks to the heart from waking up early to watch TV, how can we more effectively promote this knowledge in the community and at home to reduce the incidence of heart disease?"
In this regard, Dr. Zhao pointed out that first of all, we need to raise people's awareness through community health lectures and health education in hospitals.
Second, you can include some short health tips in your TV shows, especially those that everyone likes to watch in the morning.
Finally, this knowledge can also be disseminated through social media and online platforms, especially for the health management of the elderly, with more guidance and advice.
In this way, we will not only be able to raise awareness of heart health, but also actually reduce the number of diseases caused by poor lifestyle habits.
