4 things to do after waking up to prolong life
According to Sohu (China), here are 4 things you should do after waking up to be healthier and live longer:
1. Drink a glass of warm water
Drinking a glass of warm water after waking up is a healthy habit because it brings many health benefits. A glass of warm water after waking up helps aid digestion, kick-start metabolism, eliminate toxins, improve the body's resistance, prevent certain diseases related to the intestines and rehydrate after a long night's sleep.

Furthermore, hydration is crucial and reigns supreme when it comes to healthy aging. A well- hydrated body can prevent and reduce the risk of diseases, such as kidney stones and arthritis, which can support a healthier and longer life.
However, it should be noted that you should not drink water that is too hot to avoid causing damage to the oral mucosa, throat mucosa and digestive system. Water temperature from 35 degrees Celsius - 40 degrees Celsius is considered the appropriate temperature for the stomach.
The best time to drink warm water is right after waking up, after cleaning your teeth and on an empty stomach.

Exercise also helps the body release endorphins - chemicals produced in the brain that help manage pain and control stress hormones. Persistently waking up early and exercising for a long time will also help improve the body's immunity, which is also beneficial for your own overall health.
3. Eat a healthy breakfast
Eating a healthy breakfast can contribute to longevity because it provides the body with the energy and nutrients it needs after a long night's rest.

This also means that skipping breakfast can affect your metabolism. You should also avoid breakfasts that are high in processed meats, fatty foods, or drinks and foods high in added sugar.
Eating a healthy, well-balanced breakfast also helps prevent excessive snacking and unhealthy food choices later in the day, thereby supporting a balanced and healthy diet in the long term.
4. Meditate in the morning for 10 - 15 minutes
