If you are an early bird who’d rather get kissed by the sun’s first rays than tuck into your cozy blanket, it is bad news for you. So far, you only knew that getting up early morning is good not only from the health point of view, but also the fact that the additional hours see you pack in extra chores.
But now, scientists warn that early risers are at a higher risk of heart disease. Not only that, you also run a higher risk of hypertension and stroke.
Japanese physician Mayuko Kadono conducted a study over three thousand adults aged between 23 and 90 years to find out the relationship between early rising and health problems. He found that people who woke before 5.00 am were 1.7 times more prone to suffering from hypertension and twice the risk of developing hardening of arteries.
It’s a known fact that you need a good night’s sleep of 6-8 hours to be fit and healthy anything less than that invites health related problems. I am a bit perplexed though how rising early could bring in a host of health problems. And I was just reading an article on the benefits of rising early and this left me more confused! I think it is better to stick to whatever you have been doing all these days irrespective of what the study says.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise
said Benjamin Frankiln; well, looks like he would have changed his statement had he read the report now! Set your alarm clock after 5.00 am if you are scared folks, yawn!!!

Hmmmm..... If one gets up by 6am or later will be healthier ;-)
Thanks for the proof :-)
Health care is important in as it keep a person healthy. Some people have just taken for granted their health because they are busy in their everyday work. On the other hand, there are some people that whenever they are sick they refused to seek for medication because of having a short budget. But when are we going to cure our self? If we would just set aside our health problem we are putting our self into risk. In addition to that, it can also leave a major strain on your budget.

People must also search for information that could guide them on how to take good care of their health.
This is an interesting finding. I cannot believe that those that were awake early had a higher chance of getting heart disease! I will make sure to sleep past 5 (or 6 or 7!) to prevent heart disease. Thanks for the valuable post!
