Wake up, don’t hurry. Get up and exercise to promote blood circulation

The cold current is coming, which is a good time to hide in the warm quilt, but many people are busy clocking in to work. As soon as the alarm clock rings, their bodies automatically switch to the combat mode, and they can quickly get up, wash, change clothes and go out at low temperature. Unexpectedly, such actions are particularly prone to induce acute muscle injury and cardiovascular disease, and serious sudden death. Doctors suggest that when you wake up in winter, don’t get up in a hurry. Doing exercises in bed can promote blood circulation and reduce the incidence of accidents.

there are many cardiovascular accidents when you get up suddenly in winter.

Li Mingshan, a physician in the Department of rehabilitation at Miaoli Daqian general hospital, said that after a good night’s sleep, the body has been inactive for several hours, the blood circulation will decline, the joint flexibility will deteriorate, the muscle strength will be insufficient, and the motor nerve reaction and coordination will slow down. In addition, the weather is cold, if you get up and move rashly, the body will not react well, and it is easy to cause acute injuries such as strain, sprain, and cramp.

In addition, in winter, the room temperature is low, the temperature difference between inside and outside the quilt is large, and the blood vessels contract all over the body after getting up. For patients with chronic cardiovascular diseases, it is easy to have acute myocardial infarction, acute stroke or sudden death at this time.

Dr. Li Mingshan suggested that people should not get up in a hurry after waking up, first lie flat on the bed, and then do “warm up exercises” to promote blood circulation and warm the body, then get up slowly. After getting up, add a piece of clothing to keep warm, which can reduce the occurrence of accidents.
