Cerebral blood supply deficiency refers to brain dysfunction caused by insufficient blood supply to a certain part of the human brain. The etiology of cerebral blood supply insufficiency is related to cerebral arteriosclerosis. The main reasons are: (1) partial arterial stenosis or vasospasm, which leads to insufficient blood supply in the brain region; (2) Hemodynamic disorder, when blood pressure drops and cardiac output decreases, blood supply to brain tissue is insufficient; (3) There may also be blood viscosity increase, blood slowness and blood composition changes caused by some reasons, resulting in insufficient blood supply; (4) microthrombosis, that is, microthrombosis refers to the detachment of atherosclerotic plates and the formation of microemboli in the blood stream, which will block blood vessels as the blood flows to arterioles, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the local brain.
Clinical manifestations of cerebral blood supply insufficiency
Cerebral blood supply deficiency refers to a series of diseases with brain dysfunction as clinical manifestations caused by chronic and extensive blood supply deficiency in the brain due to various reasons, leading to cerebral ischemia and hypoxia. The clinical manifestations of cerebral ischemia are:1>; Motor nerve dysfunction is the most common symptom. Due to insufficient blood supply to the brain, the nerves in charge of human motor function are disordered, such as sudden mouth deviation, salivation, difficulty in speaking, unclear pronunciation, aphasia or inability to express meaning, difficulty in swallowing, weakness or immobility of one limb, falling of an object, unsteady walking or sudden fall, and spasm or pulsation of some limbs.
2> Sensory dysfunction affects the analysis area, sensory organs and sensory nerve fibers of the brain due to insufficient blood supply to the brain, which is often manifested as facial numbness, tongue numbness, lip numbness and numbness of one limb or foreign body sensation; Some people can't see clearly, or even suddenly become temporarily blind; Many people will suddenly feel dizzy; Some limbs have spontaneous pain; Others suddenly developed tinnitus and hearing loss.
3> Abnormal mental consciousness, such as always wanting to sleep and being groggy all day, is not caused by excessive fatigue, but a precursor of insufficient blood supply to the brain. Some people show insomnia, some people have some personality changes, such as loneliness, reticence or indifference, some people are multilingual and lack patience; Some of them may have a short-term loss of consciousness or mental decline, or even lose their normal judgment, which is related to insufficient blood supply to the brain.
Beware of chronic cerebral blood supply insufficiency
The "invisible killer" of middle-aged and elderly people!
Have you noticed that many people, especially middle-aged and elderly people, often have symptoms of dizziness and headache repeatedly, and at the same time, they are also upset, tinnitus, impatience and irritability, insomnia and dreaminess, memory loss, inattention and forgetfulness (for example, what happened recently can't be remembered), which are the results of chronic cerebral blood supply deficiency.
Chronic cerebral ischemia was first proposed by Japanese doctors in 1990, which refers to a series of diseases with brain dysfunction as clinical manifestations caused by chronic and extensive cerebral ischemia caused by various reasons. The incidence of chronic cerebral ischemia is high. According to statistics, 2/3 middle-aged and elderly people suffer from chronic cerebral blood supply deficiency, which is a frequently-occurring disease of middle-aged and elderly people. After a lot of research, medical scientists at home and abroad also found that in the early stage of Alzheimer's disease and cerebral infarction, chronic cerebral blood supply deficiency existed for a long time. Chronic cerebral blood supply insufficiency may cause "Alzheimer's disease" and "cerebral infarction" if it is not treated in time. Therefore, chronic cerebral blood supply deficiency is called the "invisible killer" that threatens the health of middle-aged and elderly people!
Cerebral blood supply deficiency: refers to a series of diseases with clinical manifestations of brain dysfunction caused by chronic and extensive blood supply deficiency in the brain due to various reasons, leading to cerebral ischemia and hypoxia.
Treatment of cerebral blood supply insufficiency
1 first remove risk factors, such as treating hypertension, quitting smoking, and prohibiting excessive drinking.
Antiplatelet drugs: Aspirin and antiplatelet drugs are the first choice, which can effectively prevent platelet aggregation and help blood circulation and blood supply to the brain.
Anticoagulants: Anticoagulants have the same effect as antiplatelet drugs, which can make blood flow unobstructed, increase blood supply to the brain and reduce cerebral ischemic attacks.
Surgical treatment: If the carotid artery is severely narrowed (more than 70%), carotid endarterectomy or carotid stenting can be used.
Matters needing attention in cerebral blood supply insufficiency
Early to bed and early to rise; Appropriate exercise, such as brisk walking; Be sure to have breakfast, preferably light, not greasy and spicy. It is suggested that people with insufficient blood supply to the brain eat far three whites (sugar, salt and lard) and near three blacks (black sesame, mushrooms and black rice). From the point of nutritional value, four legs (pigs, cows and sheep) are not as good as two legs (chickens and ducks), two legs are not as good as one leg (mushrooms), and one leg is not as good as one leg (fish). Eating kelp and river fish regularly, fish oil can reduce the death rate of brain cells.
Daily exercise method
Walking movement: posture, breathing, mind: when walking, the heel touches the ground first, step by step. When breathing, you should breathe with your body, that is, when inhaling, you should expect the true qi in the universe to be inhaled into the body through the capillaries of the whole body, and when exhaling, you should expect the sick, turbid and tired qi of the whole body to be ejected through the capillaries of the whole body and penetrate the horizon. Breathing should be combined with walking speed, not walking fast.
Efficacy: training the function of natural ventilation, landing the heel first, can mobilize the kidney meridian, so it has the effect of strengthening the kidney and consolidating the foundation.
Running: posture: jogging, breathing, mind: body breathing, that is, when inhaling, the true qi in the universe is sucked into the body through the capillaries of the whole body, and when exhaling, the sick, turbid and tired qi of the whole body is discharged out of the body through the capillaries of the whole body. Breathing should be combined with running speed, not too fast.
Diet therapy for cerebral ischemia
A glass of water before going to bed is a common disease of the elderly. This paper mainly introduces the family recuperation of chronic cerebral blood supply insufficiency caused by cerebral arteriosclerosis.
1. Edible garlic: Garlic has the functions of lowering blood fat, lowering blood pressure and strengthening brain. Because allicin and vitamin B 1 contained in garlic synthesize allicin, the effect of allicin is 2-4 times stronger than that of vitamin B 1, so eat garlic when glucose and vitamin B 1 are sufficient. If southerners are afraid of raw garlic, they can eat it with vinegar.
2. Pueraria lobata powder or Pueraria lobata porridge: dry Pueraria lobata powder, take 50 grams of dry powder every morning and cook it into soup for breakfast. Or use150g pueraria lobata and 50g japonica rice to cook porridge, which is forbidden for those with deficiency of spleen and stomach. It can lower blood pressure and relieve arteriosclerosis.
3. Eating pine leaves: collect tender pine leaves to eat raw, eat 10-20g every day, or dry pine leaves in the shade, and use10g boiling water instead of tea every time for more than half a year. Recent studies have found that pine leaves contain flavonoids, which is a strong antioxidant, and can inhibit platelet aggregation, reduce lipid peroxidation, reduce the proliferation of smooth muscle cells, and prevent atherosclerosis and thrombosis.
4. folic acid supplementation: foods rich in folic acid include leafy vegetables, soybeans and orange juice. You can get enough folic acid by eating 500 grams of green leafy vegetables or drinking a cup (400 ml) of soybean milk or a cup of orange juice every day.
5, eat bananas: bananas are rich in potassium, potassium has the effect of anti-arteriosclerosis, lowering blood pressure and protecting the heart. Eating three bananas a day can resist cerebral arteriosclerosis. 10
Precautions: go to bed early and get up early; Appropriate exercise, such as brisk walking; Be sure to have breakfast, preferably light, not greasy and spicy. It is suggested that people with insufficient blood supply to the brain eat far three whites (sugar, salt and lard) and near three blacks (black sesame, mushrooms and black rice).
From the point of nutritional value, four legs (pigs, cows and sheep) are not as good as two legs (chickens and ducks), two legs are not as good as one leg (mushrooms), and one leg is not as good as one leg (fish). Eating kelp and river fish regularly, fish oil can reduce the death rate of brain cells.
Trembling method:
Body posture, movements and thoughts: feet are shoulder-width apart, hands droop naturally, legs are slightly bent, the whole body is relaxed, eyebrows are stretched, the face is smiling, and the whole body regularly shakes up and down. After shaking for a while, the body relaxes, and the whole body's sick gas, turbid gas and exhausted gas are discharged underground along the already unobstructed meridians. After exhausting the sick gas for a period of time, give up the idea of exhausting the sick gas, stay in the abdomen for a period of time, observe the movement of the gas in the body, and finally take three deep breaths and sink the gas into the abdomen as a job. This work can be practiced anytime and anywhere, regardless of the venue.
Breathing: Natural breathing. Efficacy: drive away evil spirits; Indications: neurasthenia, dizziness and head swelling. After practicing, I feel tall and clear-headed. Especially suitable for mental workers to practice; It is a kind of systemic conditioning, and the whole body relaxes after practice.
Stand up your palm with the help of sound: posture, breathing "Keep your arms straight down, lift your fingertips, press the root of your palm, and make a nasal sound when exhaling." At the same time, relax your arms and hands, use your voice to urge you to breathe, and go down your arms to experience the feeling of your palms. You can also push your palms forward and raise your arms horizontally.
Efficacy: dredge the meridians of the two arms, help release external qi, and use the qi emitted by Laogong as hot air, which has a good effect on treating cold syndrome; Can be used for treating visceral diseases related to two arms and three yin hands and three yang hands.
