Sister Wang, 55, runs a breakfast shop and has been working hard for breakfast since she was in her thirties.
Because it is a catering industry, she can only sleep until the early hours of the morning to get up, steam steamed buns, and fry fritters, which makes the body gradually overdrawn, and as she grows older, Sister Wang's body becomes more and more tired, but she still has to stick to it for her livelihood.
On this day, Sister Wang got up early in the morning, suddenly dizzy, and finally woke up after lying down for a while, but her vision was still very blurry, and she felt very nervous in her heart, so she went to the hospital as soon as it was dawn.
The doctor examined, Sister Wang found that her body was fine, but she was busy for a long time, and her body could not rest, coupled with the fact that she often ate high-fat food in the store, and there were some plaques in her blood vessels.
Sister Wang returned to the store and began to reduce her workload, insisted on taking folic acid, and after three months, various discomfort symptoms of the body were alleviated, and the quality of sleep was improved a lot, which made me feel very happy, so I also pushed it to Sister Zhang in the store next to her, so is folic acid really so good for the human body?Let's take a look.
Cerebral infarction is more common in middle-aged and elderly people, but with the faster and faster pace of life, increasing work pressure, excessive tension and fatigue such as staying up late and irregular diet, cerebral infarction groups gradually have a trend of getting younger, and early intervention and prevention of cerebral infarction can achieve better results.
Folic acid is a relatively common anti-anemia drug, which can be used clinically for folic acid deficiency caused by various causes and megaloblastic anemia caused by folic acid deficiency, and can also prevent fetal malformations.
Hyperhomocysteinemia may cause cerebral infarction, and hyperhomocysteinemia is mainly caused by the body's lack of folic acid, so appropriate supplementation of folic acid under the guidance of doctors can help reduce the level of homocysteine in the body, can prevent arteriosclerosis, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing cerebral infarction.
1.Poor eating habits
With the improvement of living standards and diversified diets, people no longer have to worry about food and clothing, but often eat too much high-fat and high-calorie food, and these poor eating habits are one of the causes of cerebral infarction.
Eating high-fat and high-calorie foods for a long time will lead to obesity, and can also cause arteriosclerosis, which slows down blood circulation, resulting in insufficient local blood supply and increasing the incidence of cerebral infarction.
2.High blood pressure
China is a country with a high incidence of hypertension, which can lead to arteriosclerosis and increase the risk of thrombosis and cerebral vascular blockage.
According to a study in the International Journal of Hypertension in March 2020, a 20mmHg increase in high pressure was associated with a 30% increase in the risk of cerebral infarction7%；For every 10 mmHg increase in low pressure, the risk of cerebral infarction increases by 112%。
3.Diabetes
There are a large number of diabetic patients in China, and patients often have a persistent increase in blood sugar levels due to insufficient insulin secretion. Long-term hyperglycemia will cause damage to blood vessels, which can lead to atherosclerosis and cerebral infarction.
4.Hyperlipidemia
In the state of hyperlipidemia, cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood will accumulate in the blood vessel wall, gradually forming atherosclerotic plaque, making the lumen of the blood vessel narrow and blocked, reducing blood flow, and thrombus is easy to form, thereby inducing cerebral infarction.
5.Smoking
Cigarette smoking can seriously disrupt people's respiratory function, which further destroys the health of blood vessels in people's bodies. Through clinical studies, it has been found that more than 50% of patients with cerebral infarction have the bad habit of smoking cigarettes.
In other words, people who smoke cigarettes for a long time are prone to blockage of blood vessels inside the body, which will greatly increase the chance of suffering from cerebral infarction.
Some studies have shown that high homocysteine (HCY) levels increase the risk of vascular diseases such as cerebral infarction and atherosclerosis. Folic acid, on the other hand, can help prevent these vascular diseases by lowering HCY levels.
When folic acid is introduced into the body, it can promote the normal function of vascular endothelial cells and reduce vascular inflammatory responses, thereby reducing the risk of atherosclerosis and cerebral infarction.
In addition, folic acid can also inhibit the apoptosis and necrosis of endothelial cells, further protecting the health of blood vessels, and folic acid can also inhibit the aggregation and activation of platelets, thereby reducing the risk of thrombosis.
In conclusion, folic acid supplementation can promote vascular health, lower blood pressure, inhibit platelet aggregation and activation, etc., thereby helping to prevent cerebral infarction and clear plaque.
Digestive abnormalities:When the human body is deficient in folic acid, there may be obvious digestive and malabsorption, mainly including nausea, vomiting, bloating, abdominal pain, unformed stools, mucus, pus and bloody stools.
**Symptoms:Causes yellowish hair, pale complexion, oral inflammation and ** inflammation, such as mouth ulcers, glossitis, stomatitis, inhibitory dermatitis, etc.
Anemia Symptoms:A small number of people who lack folic acid will have nausea, vomiting, palpitations, fatigue and other anemia symptoms, and in severe cases, fainting and shock may occur.
Oral discomfort:The patient has a rupture of the oral mucosa, the tongue is smooth like a mirror, the tongue is enlarged, the color becomes red, and the patient may feel pain in the tongue and mouth. Some patients may have glossitis and cheilitis, with swelling of the tongue and lips.
1.People with high blood pressure
Patients with hypertension should monitor the changes of homocysteine in time, and if the index is too high or H hypertension, folic acid should be supplemented in time to reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, and it is recommended to consume 04-0.8 mg.
2.Female friends who are trying to conceive or pregnant
Women who are trying to conceive and during pregnancy take folic acid tablets in moderation is very beneficial to the body, and can also promote the growth and development of the fetus, and the most important thing is to effectively prevent fetal malformations.
3.People who drink alcohol for a long time
For long-term drinkers, long-term drinking will affect the absorption of folic acid in the body, and appropriate supplementation of folic acid can help the body replenish and absorb nutrients, and women who drink alcohol for a long time can reduce the risk of breast cancer by taking folic acid.
4.Menopausal women
In addition to supplementing folic acid, it is also necessary to supplement the body with vitamin C, vitamin B, vitamin D, iron, and calcium to help improve various problems caused by menopausal hormone levels such as insomnia, osteoporosis, anemia, and menstrual irregularities.
