Strokes have become a well-discussed topic, not limited to the older population; even younger individuals face the risk.

The gravity of strokes cannot be understated. Failure to promptly identify and address them can have far-reaching consequences. I stumbled upon a newspaper article shedding light on certain morning behaviors that could heighten the likelihood of experiencing a stroke. Let me impart some insights on these practices.

Avoiding these habits is crucial as they can significantly contribute to the occurrence of a stroke. Dr. Nguyen Xuan Quang from the Military Medical Academy has advised everyone to remove certain harmful morning routines to reduce the risk of strokes.

01. Many individuals have the habit of abruptly leaping out of bed upon waking, a commonplace practice. However, health experts warn that this conduct can substantially elevate the chances of having a stroke in the early morning hours.

Dr. Quang recommends refraining from the immediate urge to jump up right after waking. During sleep, our parasympathetic nervous system dominates, resulting in a slower heart rate, gentler contractions, and lower blood pressure compared to the awake state.

Sudden rising triggers the sympathetic nervous system, prompting the heart to pump vigorously and quicker, thereby raising blood pressure. This abrupt change can strain the delicate blood vessels in the brain, upping the risk of a hemorrhagic stroke.

To mitigate this danger, Dr. Quang proposes following a brief period of lying still for 1-2 minutes after waking. Engaging in gentle massages for the face, head, eyes, and neck can aid in a smoother transition into the day before getting out of bed.

02. Commence your morning by consuming a glass of diluted saltwater right after waking up.

Many people have adopted this practice, believing it offers superior antiseptic benefits, aids in eradicating oral bacteria, and promotes healthier teeth and gums.

However, it’s imperative to acknowledge that ingesting saltwater as the first beverage in the morning may not be advisable. Excessive salt intake has been associated with elevated blood pressure, strokes, and kidney problems.

Furthermore, since your stomach is empty upon waking, drinking saltwater can irritate the esophagus and stomach lining, potentially leading to inflammation and ulcers over time.

03. Engage in exercise during the early hours.

Exercising too early in the morning can prove detrimental to your well-being. While physical activity is beneficial, it’s advisable to refrain from it before sunrise when temperatures are still chilly. Working out in cold conditions can heighten the risk of contracting colds and give rise to severe issues like vasoconstriction, potentially culminating in heart attacks, cardiovascular complications, and strokes. Moreover, for individuals with health issues, morning workouts might result in substantial sleep deprivation, hindering the body’s optimal performance and increasing chances of injury.

04. Kickstart your day by hydrating with ample water immediately upon waking. Hydrating in the morning is advantageous, but it’s crucial to avoid excessive intake at once, particularly in the winter months.

Consuming a large volume of water hastily can strain the heart. This poses a significant concern for those with existing heart conditions as it can precipitate symptoms like breathlessness, rapid heartbeat, or even a stroke. Thus, it’s prudent to restrict intake to around 200 to 300ml. Additionally, try to sip water gradually throughout the morning rather than waiting until thirst sets in.

This information caught my attention in a newspaper, prompting me to share it with everyone. Since strokes are severe and can wield a significant impact on our lives, it’s crucial to be mindful of even the minutest daily habits, especially those we practice in the morning.

Barron Trump is most likely now back in New York City after spending Inauguration Day in Washington, where he watched on as his father was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States. The president’s youngest son started his college studies last year when he enrolled at New York University. Of course, he is always welcome to spend time with his parents at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

18-year-old Barron has been largely kept outside the spotlight by his mother, Melania Trump. Now that he’s legally an adult, he will begin making his own decisions, and only time will tell if that means a life inside the storm of media attention. During his high school days in Palm Beach, Florida, practically nothing was leaked about how he was or how he was doing in school, except for when one student offered some insights anonymously.

Barron was with his family for the entire of Inauguration Day, even receiving praise for his crucial role in helping his father’s election cause. He was also credited by many for his way of handling himself around the Washington elite, and one body language expert stated that Barron had become a powerhouse. So, what is Barron really like? His stylist, a business associate to the Trump’s, now reveals the truth.

Barron Trump’s life has changed significantly in the last year. After graduating from Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida, the youngest son of President Donald Trump had many options for his college studies. Ultimately, he decided on New York University, where he’s currently attending Stern’s Business School.

Speaking with the Daily Mail, Donald Trump explained that his son considered following in his footsteps by attending Pennsylvania University’s Wharton School. In the end, however, he opted to stay in the Big Apple, the city where he was raised. Stern Business School is considered one of America’s best business schools, with only 1 in 20 applicants making it onto the undergraduate program.

“It’s a very high-quality place. He liked it. He liked the school,” Trump told DailyMail.com. “We liked NYU. I’ve known NYU for a long time, but it’s one of the highest-rated schools.”

“I went to Wharton, and that was certainly one that we were considering. We didn’t do that,” Trump continued. “We went for Stern. He’s a very high-aptitude child, but he’s no longer a child. He’s just passed into something beyond childhood. He’s he’s doing great.”

Barron Trump went viral for his height on inauguration day

The British news outlet has spoken to several students at New York University, with some saying that Barron has become very popular among the ladies. Meanwhile, Secret Service agents follow him around everywhere.

Melania Trump is doing all she can to support her son and will, during her second term as first lady, split her time between Washington and New York in order to be closer to him. On Monday 20, the 18-year-old had to skip classes for something quite significant as his father was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States.

Due to the freezing weather, Trump took his oath of office inside the Capitol Rotunda. His entire family, including Barron, was by his side for the inauguration. Around election day, fans worldwide heard Barron speak for the first time in ages, and it became apparent that he has dropped the Slovenian accent he spoke with as a child. Meanwhile, the fact that he now towers over all and sundry never fails to leave people stunned.

It was much the same at his father’s inauguration, where Barron – thanks to his height – was easily visible. One TikTok user posted a video that gained particular attention. Barron had the best seat in the house, and a clearly shorter woman sat behind him. She couldn’t see anything, which social media users quickly pointing out.

“Nobody having a worse day than this woman who had a prime spot until 6ft 7in Barron Trump took his seat,” one user wrote.

A second person said, “This is freaking hilarious.” A third stated: “She can only see the ceiling.”

Praised for his interaction with Joe Biden

As mentioned, Barron was among the Washington elite at the inauguration. He interacted with many of them, but one interaction spread like wildfire: the one between Barron and Joe Biden.

Biden smiled as he interacted with Barron, but after they shared some words, the former president’s happy expression changed to a more solemn one. Social media users worldwide were dying to know what the president’s son had said. Moreover, Barron was praised online for greeting both Biden and Kamala Harris.

“I was very impressed by that gesture and from someone so young. To go across the aisle and shake their hands was a very classy and mature thing to do. Good for Barron,” one person wrote.

Another added: “Such a good young man… That gesture just tells you everything. Well done, Melania.”

As per the Daily Mail, the TikTok video of Barron and Biden had been viewed over half a million times as of Wednesday. One person joked: “Looks like he said, ‘You’re done.’”

Speaking with the Daily Mail, body language expert and communications coach Judi James had another theory. She explained that Barron “very confidently” and “charmingly” bent to shake hands with Biden.

“And although Biden’s face seems to fall as though Barron has passed on some kind of sinister threat or message, the truth was less dramatic as Barron seemed to be leaning to greet Kamala and Biden’s face was registering the fact that he’d finished his greeting ritual with Trump’s son,” James said.

“He stood like a rock star”

She added that Barron’s humor and so-labeled “super-confidence” have led people to misread what Donald’s son really could’ve said to Biden.

“When he was introduced by his father, he stood like a rock star acknowledging the cheers and chants of his name and even cupped his ear to increase them. Which is probably why people might assume (wrongly I’d say) that he’s possibly making barbed comments on his way out here,” James continued.

Moreover, James explained that Barron was “working as a sweeper” during the inauguration, a role he frequently takes on when appearing with his father at any event.

“This means he tends to arrive and leave behind his parents, but instead of just walking off behind them as he did when he was younger, he spends time shaking hands and offering gracious-looking words,” James continued, concluding by saying that “defines” Barron’s presence and status without having to compete with his father.

“He lets everyone know that he is becoming a force to be reckoned with in his own right and because of his height and the increase in his confidence signals, it gives him a rather princely air, presence-wise. Biden had been on the receiving end of a flame-thrower speech from Trump, where he had sat in a variety of poses including pained deflation and bravado smiling as his entire four years in office were scorched to ashes.”

Just like his mother and father, Barron received professional help with his outfits for the inauguration. Over the years, the teenager’s style has evolved and developed as he has grown. When he was pictured during his father’s first presidential term, the then-young boy was often seen wearing shorts and a regular t-shirt. However, only the choicest, most luxurious look was good enough for the inauguration this time around.

Stylist reveals how Barron Trump is really like

Barron reportedly worked with luxury styling service Bespoke Pearce’s chief executive officer, Nathan Pearce, who helped the president’s son select several suits, dress shirts, and a cashmere overcoat for the grand occasion. In an interview with Women’s Wear Daily, Pearce revealed some interesting things about Barron and his personality. Because of his private life, some might believe that Barron is relatively closed and quiet. However, that is far from the truth, according to Nathan Pearce.

“He’s this super-bright kid. He’s well beyond his years in terms of experience, knowledge, history. He’s just very fascinating to talk to,” he told Women’s Wear Daily.

“You know what is another word I would say [about him]? Hospitable. He is down-to-earth, nice as can be and hospitable,” Pearce continued, recalling how Barron shook his hand when they first met, thanking him multiple times when he arrived at Mar-a-Lago. The youngster even offered to show the stylist around the Palm Beach estate.

“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him over the last one or two years,” Pearce explained. He added that he didn’t take Trump’s business for granted, wanting him to be very happy with his outfit.

“I recognize that Barron Trump could be choosing from tailors all over the world, and he chose me and Pearce Bespoke. I’m super-grateful and super-proud of that,” Pearce added.

“He’s hilarious”

Donald Trump might not be known for his great sense of humor, though that idea in itself is a debate to be had another time. It appears as though the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, with Pearce labeling Barron’s humor ‘dry.’

“He’s hilarious. But as I said, he’s super-sharp. You put him in a room with star businessmen and he will hold his own. He can talk to them all day because he’s witty, smart and has a dry sense of humor,” the stylist concluded.

“I tell my franchisers and clothiers across the country, ‘Look, I’m not anything special. It’s just a matter of taking care of your clients. You can meet the right client at the right time, who loves their clothes and shows them off to the right people.”

“If you’ve done your job and you’ve made them happy, they will tell the world about you. If you don’t, and you drop the ball and forget about customer service, they still tell the world about you,” he said.

Donald Trump’s proposal to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America” has stirred controversy and captured attention online. The idea has been met with both support and backlash, raising questions about national pride and international relations.

The renaming idea picked up steam after President Trump signed an executive order to ‘restore names that honor American greatness’ and quickly faced significant criticism for being seen as provocative toward Mexico and other Gulf-bordering nations.

The order states that it’s “in the national interest to promote the extraordinary heritage of our Nation and ensure future generations of American citizens celebrate the legacy of our American heroes” and so the naming of the US’ “national treasures, including breathtaking natural wonders and historic works of art, should honor the contributions of visionary and patriotic Americans in our Nation’s rich past”.

North America’s highest peak was in the order, with Trump suggesting it be renamed to to ‘Mount McKinley’ to honor President McKinley. It was also suggested that the Gulf of Mexico be renamed to the ‘Gulf of America’.

Trump stated in the order that: “The Gulf will continue to play a pivotal role in shaping America’s future and the global economy, and in recognition of this flourishing economic resource and its critical importance to our Nation’s economy and its people, I am directing that it officially be renamed the Gulf of America.”

Mexico’s President, Claudia Sheinbaum, has since addressed the order, stating (via DW): “He says that he will call it the ‘Gulf of America’ on its continental shelf. For us it is still the Gulf of Mexico and for the entire world it is still the Gulf of Mexico.”

The Gulf of Mexico is not just a name; it represents centuries of history, international cooperation, and geographical ties.

Shared by the United States, Mexico, and Cuba, the Gulf is a vital resource for fishing, oil production, and international trade. Renaming it would likely require significant diplomatic negotiations, as it involves shared territorial waters and agreements under international law.

Critics of the idea have expressed concern about its implications. “This is another attempt to undermine historical and cultural ties for the sake of hyper-nationalism,” said one political commentator.

Others noted that energy should be focused on preserving the Gulf’s ecosystem, which has suffered from oil spills, overfishing, and the ongoing effects of climate change.

Hillary Clinton was even spotted laughing as Trump announced the idea, with a video going viral on X.

Meanwhile, proponents of the renaming argue that it could serve as a symbolic gesture of American strength and independence.

While the idea remains highly speculative, the conversation highlights deeper discussions about patriotism, symbolism, and how nations choose to represent themselves.
