With the arrival of winter, the temperature gradually decreases, and this is a period that requires special attention for patients with insufficient blood supply to the brain. In winter, the symptoms of cerebral insufficiency may be aggravated by the drop in temperature, the constriction of blood vessels, and the slowing of blood flow. However, through reasonable dietary adjustment and changes in lifestyle Xi, the symptoms of cerebral insufficiency can be effectively improved and the occurrence of cerebral infarction can be prevented. Among them, eating two more fruits is a simple and effective method.
1. Citrus fruits
Citrus fruits, such as oranges, grapefruits, lemons, etc., are rich in vitamin C and flavonoids, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant and other effects, helping to prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction. Vitamin C can promote collagen synthesis, enhance the elasticity of blood vessels, and reduce the risk of blood vessel rupture. Flavonoids can inhibit platelet aggregation, reduce blood viscosity, and prevent thrombosis. Therefore, patients with insufficient cerebral blood supply can eat more citrus fruits in moderation in winter to improve symptoms and prevent cerebral infarction.
2. Dark fruits
Dark-colored fruits, such as blueberries, blackberries, mulberries, etc., are rich in anthocyanins and vitamin K. Anthocyanins are powerful antioxidants that protect vascular endothelial cells, reduce blood lipid levels, and prevent atherosclerosis. Vitamin K promotes blood clotting and prevents blood clots. Therefore, patients with insufficient cerebral blood supply can eat more dark fruits in moderation in winter to improve symptoms and prevent cerebral infarction.
In addition to eating more citrus fruits and dark fruits, patients with insufficient blood supply to the brain should pay attention to the following:
Control your diet: Maintain a low-salt, low-fat, low-sugar diet Xi habits, and avoid overeating to reduce the burden on the heart.
Moderate exercise: Do moderate aerobic exercise, such as walking, tai chi, etc., to promote blood circulation. Quit smoking and limit alcohol: Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol can reduce blood viscosity, improve blood vessel elasticity, and prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction.
Maintain a good routine: Get enough sleep and regular schedule to avoid overwork and stress.
Regular check-ups: Conduct regular physical examinations to detect and control high-risk factors such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes in a timely manner.
Follow your doctor's instructions: Take your medications on time and follow your doctor's advice for medications** and lifestyle adjustments.
In short, for patients with insufficient cerebral blood supply, eating more citrus fruits and dark fruits after winter can effectively improve symptoms and prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction. At the same time, it is also very important to pay attention to the adjustment of diet control, moderate exercise, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, maintaining a good work and rest, regular check-ups and following the doctor's instructions. Through the comprehensive application of these measures, the risk of cerebral infarction can be effectively reduced and the quality of life can be improved.
Finally, it should be emphasized that eating more than two fruits is only an easy way to prevent cerebral infarction. For patients with cerebral insufficiency, it should also be combined with other adjustments**. If symptoms continue to worsen or if you experience significant discomfort, you should seek medical attention and follow your doctor's advice**. At the same time, for people with high-risk factors, preventive measures should also be actively taken, regular physical examinations and health assessments should be carried out to detect and control potential health problems in a timely manner.
