After an in-depth investigation, the incidence of stroke in China ranks first in the world, and the number of new stroke patients is as high as more than 2 million every year.
What is even more shocking is that more than 1.5 million people die of cerebral infarction every year. These staggering figures are chilling, and we can't help but ask, why does the number of cerebral infarction patients in China continue to rise? In fact, this is inextricably linked to our daily eating habits.
Cerebral infarction, also known as ischemic stroke, is a disease in which local brain tissue is ischemic and hypoxic, resulting in necrosis due to blockage of blood vessels in the brain.
Among them, underlying diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes are the main triggers. In addition, poor lifestyle habits, such as smoking, alcoholism, and lack of exercise, can also increase the risk of cerebral infarction.
The harm of cerebral infarction should not be underestimated. Mild cases may lead to transient ischemic attack, manifested as transient limb weakness, slurred speech and other symptoms; In severe cases, it may lead to permanent neurological deficits, such as hemiplegia, aphasia, cognitive impairment, etc., and even life-threatening.
Case Study:
Recently, a news about a 53-year-old man who escaped a cerebral infarction because of picky eating has attracted widespread attention. When the man was examined by the doctor, the doctor found that his cerebrovascular condition was very good, and there were no blockages or abnormalities.
After a detailed understanding of his eating habits, the doctor found that he did not like to eat three foods, which became the key reason why he avoided cerebral infarction. The doctor praised his picky eating behavior and reminded everyone to pay attention to a healthy diet and mix food reasonably.
1.Unstable blood pressure
On dog days, people with high blood pressure often experience unstable blood pressure, if one day they find that their blood pressure suddenly rises above 200 120mmHg. It is important to remember that it is most likely a precursor to the development of cerebral infarction, and if the blood pressure suddenly drops below 80 to 50 mmHg, it is a signal for the formation of cerebral thrombosis.
2.Severe, sudden onset headache
Unlike ordinary migraines or tension headaches, headaches caused by cerebral infarction are usually very intense and accompanied by sudden onset. There is no obvious cause for this headache, and the pain can be very high. This is because cerebral infarction may cause increased pressure in the brain, which stimulates pain receptors. If such a headache occurs, you should seek medical attention immediately.
3.Decreased language skills
Finding that your language skills are reduced and you can't express yourself normally is also a sign of the disease. During the onset of cerebral infarction, cerebral ischemia and hypoxia are obvious, which may cause dysfunction of the language nerve center.
The nerve center functions normally, has strong expressive ability, can speak normally, and has strong logic and thinking skills. However, under the influence of cerebral infarction, the central nervous system is dysfunctional, and there will be sensory aphasia, which cannot be expressed normally, and the occurrence of this situation also suggests that cerebral infarction is coming.
4.Nausea and vomiting
Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms of digestive tract disorders, especially if you don't pay attention to food hygiene. Often overeating, eating bad stomach many people will have abdominal discomfort, including abdominal pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, nausea and nausea, but this symptom can not be regarded as gastrointestinal problems, sometimes combined with the characteristics of other diseases to make a comprehensive judgment.
Because some people will also have nausea and vomiting during the development of cerebral infarction, which is related to the ischemia and hypoxia of the brain, and the head is dizzy and painful when the blood supply to the brain is insufficient for a long time, and at the same time, it will bring nausea and vomiting and other manifestations.
1.High-salt foods
Salt is an essential condiment in life, but excessive salt intake can lead to too much sodium in the body, which can lead to high blood pressure. Hypertension is one of the main risk factors for cerebral infarction because it damages the lining of blood vessels and accelerates the process of arteriosclerosis.
As a result, doctors often advise people to limit their daily salt intake. This man did exactly that, avoiding the harm of high-salt foods to the body.
2.Organ meats
As a common nourishing food in life, animal offal is rich in vitamins and iron, which can help prevent iron deficiency anemia, but it is not recommended to eat more.
Because the fat and calories are relatively high, and the cholesterol content is not low, too much intake will increase the burden on blood vessels, resulting in an increase in blood concentration, inducing the problem of elevated blood lipids, which is not conducive to personal health. Therefore, it is necessary to eat less food like this, so as to be conducive to the health of blood vessels.
3.Greasy foods
Greasy food is also one of the foods that the elderly need to be wary of. Although meat is rich in protein and various nutrients, white meat that is too refined or high in fat can bring too much fat to the body.
If these fats are not fully metabolized and absorbed, they will accumulate in the body, putting pressure on blood vessels and increasing the risk of cerebral infarction. Therefore, while savoring the delicious taste of meat, we need to pay attention to its health effects.
1.Fish
If you already have a cerebral infarction that is affecting your health, you may wish to eat fish appropriately, which is a suitable nutrition for patients with cerebral infarction. Because fish contains unsaturated fatty acids, which can increase the level of HDL cholesterol in the body, it can reduce the hardening of the arteries.
Otherwise, the cerebral vascular lesions are serious, and the lack of unsaturated fatty acids can easily lead to damage to the body. Therefore, if you want to improve cerebral infarction as soon as possible, you can eat fish appropriately.
2.Corn
Corn is a very common food, its germ contains a lot of lecithin, linoleic acid and a variety of vitamins, these nutrients can better protect the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular vessels, to avoid the aging of blood vessels.
In addition, corn germ oil also contains a large amount of unsaturated fatty acids, according to research, these unsaturated fatty acids contain 55% linoleic acid, which is an essential nutrient for the human body.
It can promote development, enhance immunity, lower blood lipids and other effects, therefore, corn can be called one of the nemesis of cerebral infarction, and eating more is very good for the body.
3.Kiwi
It contains a lot of vitamins and other ingredients, which are good for patients with cerebral infarction. Kiwifruit also has more than 17 types of amino acids, including citric acid, flavonoids, a variety of trace elements and selenium. It can be seen that long-term consumption of patients is conducive to improving blood pressure, blood lipids and other conditions.
4.Black fungus
In recent years, there have been studies that black fungus has the effect of anti-platelet aggregation, lowering blood lipids and preventing cholesterol deposition. At the same time, black fungus also has an anti-lipid peroxidation effect.
Lipid peroxidation is closely related to aging, so the elderly should regularly consume black fungus, which can prevent and treat hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease.
