With the aging of the population, the incidence of cerebral infarction is also increasing year by year. Cerebral infarction refers to the sudden blockage of cerebral blood vessels, resulting in ischemia and hypoxia in the brain, and in severe cases, stroke. Stroke not only poses a serious threat to the patient's physical health, but also imposes a huge burden on the patient's family and society. Therefore, people after the age of 50 should keep in mind the "3 good" to prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction.
First of all, it is necessary to maintain good habits. Good lifestyle habits are the basis for preventing cerebral infarction. First of all, it is necessary to maintain a regular sleep schedule and ensure adequate sleep. Lack of sleep can lead to poor blood circulation and increase the risk of cerebral infarction. Secondly, it is necessary to eat a reasonable diet, consume moderate amounts of protein, vitamins and minerals, and avoid foods high in salt, fat and sugar. These foods increase blood viscosity, increase the burden on blood vessels, and increase the risk of cerebral infarction. In addition, it is necessary to exercise in moderation to maintain the health of the body. Proper exercise can promote blood circulation, enhance cardiopulmonary function, and reduce the incidence of cerebral infarction. Finally, quit smoking and limit alcohol to avoid excessive drinking and smoking. Tobacco and alcohol can cause damage to blood vessels and increase the risk of cerebral infarction.
Second, maintain a good attitude. Mindset is essential to prevent cerebral infarction. After the age of 50, people often face multiple pressures such as work pressure, family responsibilities and physical health, and are prone to negative emotions such as anxiety and depression. These negative emotions can lead to an increase in blood pressure and an increase in blood viscosity, which increases the risk of cerebral infarction. Therefore, learn to relax and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude. You can relax yourself and reduce stress by listening, reading, traveling, etc. At the same time, maintain good communication with family and friends, share your joys and worries, and gain support and understanding. This can enhance psychological resistance and prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction.
Finally, maintain good medical habits. Regular physical examination is an important part of the prevention of cerebral infarction. After the age of 50, people should have a comprehensive physical examination once a year, including blood pressure, blood lipids, blood sugar and other indicators. Hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes mellitus are important risk factors for cerebral infarction, and timely detection and control of these diseases can effectively prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction. In addition, if you have a family history of cerebral infarction, you should undergo genetic testing as soon as possible to understand your genetic risk and take appropriate preventive measures. If there are early symptoms of cerebral infarction such as headache, dizziness, and blurred vision, you should seek medical attention in time and receive a professional diagnosis and**.
In short, people after the age of 50 should keep in mind the "three good", that is, maintain good living habits, maintain a good attitude and maintain good medical habits to prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction. Only through your own efforts can you protect your brain health and enjoy a happy old age. Let's take action together and stay away from the threat of cerebral infarction!
