Cerebral insufficiency refers to the phenomenon of hypoxia and ischemia in the brain due to the blood flow to the brain being affected. This condition often occurs in older people, people who are frail, or who are sedentary for long periods of time. If the cerebral insufficiency is not improved in time, it may lead to serious consequences such as cerebral infarction. Here are two simple actions to prevent cerebral infarction by promoting blood circulation.
1. Neck rotation
Neck rotation can promote blood circulation in the neck and increase blood supply to the brain. Here's how to do it: Stand or sit, keep your body straight, your shoulders relaxed, and your head slightly raised.
Rotate your neck to the left until you feel a slight stretch. Then slowly turn your head to the right until you feel a slight stretch.
Repeat 10-15 times each time.
Precautions: When performing neck rotation, keep the movement slow and do not use too much force to avoid neck discomfort.
If you have cervical spondylosis or neck pain, please do this under the guidance of a doctor. 2. Shoulder lift
A shoulder lift can improve blood circulation in the shoulders and neck and increase blood supply to the brain. The specific steps are as follows:
Stand or sit with your body straight and your shoulders relaxed. 
Place your hands on your shoulders and slowly lift them up until you feel your shoulder blades clamp. Then slowly lower your shoulders.
Repeat 10-15 times each time. Precautions:
When performing a shoulder lift, keep your movements slow and don't push too hard to avoid shoulder discomfort. If you have frozen shoulder or shoulder pain, do this under the guidance of your doctor.
In addition to the above two actions, cerebral infarction can also be prevented by:
Eat a reasonable diet: Maintain a low-salt, low-fat, and low-sugar diet, and eat more foods rich in dietary fiber, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, etc. At the same time, eat high-quality protein and foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids such as fish.
Moderate exercise: Regular moderate aerobic exercise, such as walking, jogging, swimming, etc., can help promote blood circulation, reduce blood lipid levels, and prevent cerebral infarction. Choose the appropriate exercise method and intensity according to your own situation, and gradually increase the exercise time and intensity.
Control risk factors: Actively control risk factors such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes. Regularly monitor blood pressure, lipids, and blood sugar levels, following your doctor's recommendations** and management. At the same time, maintain good living habits and mentality. Non-smoking and alcohol restriction: Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption are important risk factors for cerebral infarction. Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption can reduce the risk of cerebral infarction. If you can't quit smoking or need to drink alcohol, you should consult your doctor and gradually stop or reduce the amount of alcohol you drink.
Maintain good lifestyle habits: Get enough sleep and avoid staying up late and getting tired. Maintain a happy mood and emotional stability, and avoid excessive stress and anxiety. At the same time, pay attention to keeping warm and avoid sitting for a long time, so as not to affect blood circulation and increase the risk of cerebral infarction.
Regular check-ups: Regular physical examinations, including blood lipids, blood pressure, blood sugar, etc., as well as heart and cerebrovascular examinations. Detect and deal with potential health problems in time to prevent cerebral infarction.
In conclusion, cerebral insufficiency is a common health problem, and cerebral infarction is one of the serious consequences that can be triggered. Through the practice of simple movements such as neck rotation and shoulder lift, as well as the cultivation of a healthy lifestyle such as paying attention to a reasonable diet, moderate exercise, and controlling risk factors, it can effectively promote blood circulation and prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction. At the same time, regular physical examination is also one of the important measures to prevent cerebral infarction. Let's take care of our health from now on and take proactive measures to prevent cerebral infarction and other cardiovascular diseases!
