I'm here to send health
As we age, our body functions gradually decline, and diseases become more and more favorable. Among them, cerebral infarction and Alzheimer's disease are the two major killers that threaten the health of the elderly. In China, the incidence of cerebral infarction and Alzheimer's disease is increasing year by year, which has brought a heavy burden to families and society. However, scientific studies have found that vitamin E, as a powerful antioxidant, is important for preventing and delaying both diseases.
1. Vitamin E and antioxidants.
Vitamin E, also known as tocopherol, is a fat-soluble vitamin that is widely found in vegetable oils, nuts, vegetables, and other foods. The main role of vitamin E is antioxidant, which can neutralize free radicals in the body and protect cell membranes from oxidative damage. Free radicals are highly reactive chemicals that can cause cellular aging and lesions in excess of them. As we age, the production of free radicals in the body increases, and the antioxidant capacity decreases, which increases the risk of disease.
2. Vitamin E and prevention of cerebral infarction.
Cerebral infarction, also known as ischemic stroke, is caused by ischemia and hypoxia of brain tissue due to blockage or rupture of blood vessels in the brain. Studies have found that oxidative stress is one of the important factors leading to cerebral infarction. Oxidative stress refers to the process in which the body increases the production of free radicals and decreases antioxidant capacity in response to various damage or stimuli, resulting in cell damage. Oxidative stress can cause damage to vascular endothelial cells and promote thrombosis, thereby increasing the risk of cerebral infarction.
Moderate intake of vitamin E can effectively resist oxidative stress, protect vascular endothelial cells, and prevent cerebral infarction. Studies have found that long-term vitamin E supplementation can reduce the incidence of cerebral infarction and reduce the risk of cerebral infarction. In addition, vitamin E can also improve blood circulation, lower blood pressure, lower blood lipids, and thus reduce the incidence of cerebral infarction.
3. Vitamin E and Alzheimer's disease prevention.
Alzheimer's disease, also known as Alzheimer's disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. At present, the ** of Alzheimer's disease is not clear, but oxidative stress is one of its important pathophysiological mechanisms. Studies have found that Alzheimer's patients have elevated levels of free radicals in their brains and decreased antioxidant capacity, leading to nerve cell damage and death.
Moderate intake of vitamin E can effectively resist oxidative stress and protect nerve cells. Studies have shown that long-term vitamin E supplementation can delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease and improve the cognitive function of patients. In addition, vitamin E can also reduce levels of amyloid, a major toxic substance thought to cause Alzheimer's disease.
Fourth, dry goods suggestions.
To prevent cerebral infarction and Alzheimer's disease, we recommend:
1.Moderate intake of foods rich in vitamin E, such as vegetable oils, nuts, green leafy vegetables, etc.
2.Maintain good living habits and avoid bad behaviors such as staying up late for a long time, smoking, and drinking.
3.Increase exercise, improve physical fitness, and promote blood circulation.
4.Maintain a good attitude and reduce mental stress.
5.Regular physical examinations to monitor blood pressure, blood lipids, blood sugar and other indicators.
6.If in doubt, see a doctor and follow your doctor's advice**.
V. Conclusion. As a powerful antioxidant, vitamin E is of great significance in preventing and delaying cerebral infarction and Alzheimer's disease. By consuming vitamins-rich foods in moderation and maintaining a good lifestyle and attitude, we can reduce the risk of disease and protect the health of our families. Of course, disease prevention also requires a combination of other nutrients and exercise to form a comprehensive health care strategy. Let's focus on vitamin E from now on to protect your health.
