Friends, come on without unnecessary enthusiasm. We are a cheerful and energetic people, some already at 6:00 a.m. stretching the mat, while the neighbors are still tossing and turning in bed and wrapping themselves in the blanket.
But here's the catch: even the most cheerful and "right" mornings can turn out to be... To put it mildly, not particularly useful. More precisely, harmful. Especially for dishes. So harmful that even fried eggs with bacon seem innocent in comparison.
I once attended a conference on gerontology. A doctor, about 60 years old, dry, tight, with such a look as if he could tell from a meter how much you have left, said something that stuck in my mind:

Result: microspasm of blood vessels. Sometimes it passes, but sometimes it clicks! - Microstroke. Especially for people over 40, but young people are not insured either. In the gym there was a girl of 27 who fainted in the bathroom. The reason? Pressure surge in the morning. It became too abrupt — the dishes could not stand.
