The second phase of Project Stellar
Cerebral infarction refers to the insufficiency of blood supply to the brain caused by sudden blockage or rupture of cerebral blood vessels, and is a common cerebrovascular disease. In recent years, the incidence of cerebral infarction has been increasing year by year, which has become one of the important reasons for threatening people's health. In order to prevent cerebral infarction, it is not only necessary to pay attention to the usual healthy lifestyle, but also to avoid some bad Xi habits and behaviors, especially the 3 things after meals, and try to do as little as possible. These things may seem insignificant, but they may have adverse effects on the cerebrovascular system, and we will introduce them in detail below.
First things first: take a nap immediately after eating.
Napping is a Xi for many people, especially after eating. However, napping immediately after a meal concentrates blood in the gastrointestinal tract, which leads to insufficient blood supply to the brain and increases the risk of cerebral infarction. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the stomach is yang, the brain is yin, and taking a nap for too long or improper time will destroy the balance of yin and yang and induce cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, try to avoid taking a nap immediately after eating, and choose to rest at a later time to allow the gastrointestinal tract to properly digest food and ensure a stable blood supply to the brain.
The second thing: excessive exercise after meals.
Exercise after meals is good for the body and can promote digestion and absorption. However, excessive exercise can cause blood to flow from the gastrointestinal tract to the muscles that move, resulting in an insufficient blood supply to the brain. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that excessive exercise after meals will cause damage to the spleen, stomach, qi and blood, making cerebral blood vessels susceptible to damage, thereby increasing the risk of cerebral infarction. Therefore, it is okay to exercise appropriately after meals, but it is necessary to pay attention to the control of the amount and time of exercise to avoid cerebrovascular problems caused by excessive exercise.
The third thing: take a shower immediately after eating.
Many people like to take a hot shower immediately after a meal to relax and unwind. However, inattention and increased blood flow can lead to insufficient blood supply to the cerebrovascular system. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the body's heat energy dissipates more quickly when bathing, which will cause blood vessels to constrict, thereby reducing the blood supply to the brain. Therefore, bathing should be avoided immediately after meals, and bathing can be chosen at a later time or before meals to ensure the normal functioning of cerebrovascular**.
In summary, in order to prevent cerebral infarction, we should avoid the three bad Xi of napping immediately after meals, excessive exercise and taking a bath immediately. TCM physicians also remind everyone that whether it is prevention or cerebral infarction, we should start from a comprehensive perspective to balance yin and yang and regulate qi and blood. Ancient famous prescriptions include Rehmannia Rehmannia, Gastrodia, Chuanxiong, Salvia, etc., which have the functions of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, invigorating qi and nourishing blood. However, for different groups of people, the method is not the same, and it is best to do it under the guidance of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner.
In short, the incidence of cerebral infarction is increasing year by year, and we should pay attention to personal health management and lifestyle Xi. In daily life, it is necessary to avoid the three bad Xi of napping immediately after meals, excessive exercise and bathing immediately, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction. At the same time, seeking the help of TCM experts and taking reasonable methods according to individual circumstances can better prevent and prevent cerebral infarction.
