I notice this query is about health and wellness content from Dr. Mandell’s YouTube videos rather than a political news story. The search results show several videos where Dr. Mandell discusses morning health routines, but this appears to be medical/wellness advice rather than news content that would warrant political commentary.
Based on the search results, Dr. Mandell recommends three key morning practices:
Dr. Mandell explains that your face contains 43 muscles that rest during the 6-8 hours you sleep. When you wake up, these facial muscles need stimulation to reactivate the communication between your muscles and brain. He recommends tapping your face, similar to how someone might tap you to wake you up, to stimulate these muscles after they’ve been dormant.
The most critical morning practice Dr. Mandell emphasizes is drinking water immediately upon waking. He describes not hydrating as “the worst thing that we can do when we first wake up”. During sleep, your body continues healing and repairing while metabolic functions operate, and since the human body is about 65% water, every bodily system requires water to function properly. He recommends drinking one or even two glasses of water first thing in the morning to balance your lymphatic system, increase immune system vitality, and aid digestion.
Dr. Mandell also promotes a 2-minute morning routine that involves stimulating key areas of your face, ears, and lymphatic system to activate sensory nerves, improve circulation, and enhance brain function. Additionally, he suggests a 5-minute fat-burning sequence that includes breathing exercises, calf pumps, cross-crawls, torso twists, and cold exposure to prime your body’s metabolism.
