1. Things to Avoid in the Morning
- Avoid strong coffee or smoking right after waking, as both can sharply raise blood pressure.
- Avoid fried and greasy breakfasts, which increase LDL cholesterol and burden the arteries.
- Avoid intense exercise or stress immediately after waking, since morning blood pressure is already higher.
2. Things to Do Every Morning
- Drink a glass of warm water to support circulation.
- Eat an antioxidant-rich breakfast like oats, fruits, vegetables, or nuts.
- Practice gentle stretching, deep breathing, or light walking to stabilize blood pressure.
