There are many reasons why cerebral infarction (also known as ischemic stroke) is increasing year by year, but doctors point out that the relationship with fatty intake is not directly related. On the contrary, there are two things that need to be touched less often, and they may be important factors in the increase in cerebral infarction.
High-salt diet: A high-salt diet is one of the main causes of hypertension, which is an important risk factor for cerebral infarction. Excessive salt intake can lead to water retention in the body, increasing the burden on the heart, which can lead to an increase in blood pressure. Long-term hypertension can damage vascular endothelial cells, promote the formation of atherosclerosis, and may eventually lead to cerebral infarction. Therefore, it is of great significance to reduce salt intake, especially to control the intake of high-salt foods such as pickles and pickled products, to prevent cerebral infarction.
High-sugar diet: High-sugar diet is closely related to metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity, and these diseases are also risk factors for cerebral infarction. Long-term intake of foods high in sugar can lead to an increase in blood sugar, leading to insulin resistance and diabetes. Patients with diabetes mellitus have accelerated vascular lesions and are prone to atherosclerosis and thrombosis, which increases the risk of cerebral infarction. Therefore, reducing sugar intake, especially controlling the intake of high-sugar foods such as sweet drinks and pastries, is also important to prevent cerebral infarction.
In addition to the above two points, there are other factors that may also lead to the increase in cerebral infarction, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, lack of exercise, genetic factors, etc. Therefore, in order to prevent cerebral infarction, it is necessary to take comprehensive measures based on various factors. This includes maintaining a healthy diet, exercising, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, and controlling blood pressure and blood sugar. At the same time, for people with family history or other high-risk factors, regular physical examinations and screenings should be carried out in order to detect and improve potential problems in time.
In conclusion, the reasons for the increase in cerebral infarction are complex and diverse, but the diet high in salt and sugar are two important controllable factors. By improving our eating habits and lifestyle, we can reduce the risk of cerebral infarction and protect the health of ourselves and our families.
