The above medicated diet for preventing stroke and keeping healthy is suitable for middle-aged and elderly people with relevant medical history, and the effect is good. Healthy people can also drink a little according to the situation.
2. Life conditioning of stroke patients
The first aspect: careful nursing.
After the patient is discharged from the hospital, he is often still in bed at first, during which time he must be carefully cared for. First, we should help patients turn over regularly to prevent bedsores from occurring in bed for a long time. Under normal circumstances, they should turn over every 2 to 4 hours. Second, we should always massage patients. Massage the affected limb can promote blood circulation and reduce the formation of bedsore. Massage the abdomen can help patients develop the habit of regular defecation. Third, always scrub the patient's body and change clothes. Try to choose comfortable cotton clothes. The bed should be flat and soft, and the bedding should be clean and tidy. Fourth, once skin eczema or early bedsore occurs, you should seek medical advice in time to prevent aggravation.
The second aspect: diet conditioning
Stroke is mostly caused by the rupture of atherosclerotic plaque, so patients in recovery period should choose a diet with low salt, low energy, low fat, low cholesterol, high protein, high vitamins and high cellulose. First, we should limit the intake of fat and cholesterol, and try to eat less lard, butter, cream, fat, egg yolk and animal offal; Second, there should be enough high-quality protein in the diet. Foods rich in animal protein, such as egg white, lean meat, beef and mutton, poultry meat and fish, plant protein mainly exists in bean products, such as soybeans, mung beans, red beans or tofu. Eating more fish protein and bean protein plays an important role in preventing and treating stroke. Third, eat more vegetables and fruits, such as spinach, celery, potatoes, radishes, tomatoes, apples, pears, bananas, oranges and fresh dates. They are good sources of vitamins, inorganic salts and cellulose. Patients can eat more appropriately; Fourth, we should eat more seafood, such as kelp, laver, dried dried seaweed, shrimp skin and other foods with high iodine content, which can reduce blood pressure and serum cholesterol content and prevent the occurrence and development of arteriosclerosis; The fifth is to limit the intake of salt, which should be less than 3 grams per day. Pickled food contains a lot of salt, so you should eat less or not. Sixth, the diet should be regular and quantitative, eat less and eat more meals, the dinner should be light and easy to digest, and usually try to eat less irritating foods such as peppers and Chili noodles; Seventh, we must give up smoking and limit alcohol.
The third aspect: ensure sleep.
It is the key to promote the repair of human cells and prevent the recurrence of stroke to develop good work and rest habits and ensure the quality of sleep. Clinical investigation shows that many stroke patients have poor sleep quality, so family members should remind patients to pay attention to some small details in life to improve their sleep, such as helping patients create a comfortable and quiet sleeping environment; Let patients take a hot bath or soak their feet in hot water to relieve fatigue before going to bed, or listen to soothing music and read books of interest before going to bed, which can speed up sleep; In addition, drink as little water as possible before going to bed to prevent getting up many times at night from affecting the quality of sleep; Try to take a lunch break at noon, but not more than an hour. Sleep at night and form a regular habit of work and rest.
The fourth aspect: physical exercise
Stroke patients should exercise their limbs as soon as possible. For the upper limbs, it is mainly to train the flexibility and coordination of both hands. It is necessary to gradually exercise the movements of the affected upper limb, such as horizontal lifting, lifting, upward lifting, etc., and then start some self-care activities, such as dressing, unbuttoning, combing hair, writing, washing face, etc., and gradually take care of yourself in daily life. When exercising, you can also consciously let the affected upper limb bear the weight, but you should pay attention to the amount of activity step by step, so as not to make the patient feel tired.
For the lower limbs, patients can start by standing on the support, then do standing, squatting or stretching their legs, and then move forward with the help of their families. When the patient can walk by himself, he should pay attention to raising his legs as much as possible when walking, and gradually carry out exercises such as crossing the threshold or going up and down the stairs.
The fifth aspect: insist on medication.
Taking medicine on time and according to the doctor's advice is the key to promote the rehabilitation of stroke patients and prevent recurrence. Family members must supervise patients to take medicine, and may not reduce or stop taking medicine because of the improvement of their condition. Speaking of medication for stroke patients, Chinese medicine has great advantages in improving the symptoms and sequelae of stroke and preventing recurrence, such as Tongxinluo capsule, a traditional Chinese medicine developed under the guidance of collateral disease theory. The drug has good microvascular protection. It can prolong the survival time of microvascular endothelial cells in ischemia and hypoxia environment, ensure the structural integrity of microvascular, maintain the normal blood flow path of brain, enable them to continuously deliver nutrition to brain cells, and make patients recover faster. A large number of domestic research results show that Tongxinluo capsule can obviously protect the integrity of microvascular structure and function after cerebral stroke ischemia-reperfusion, and play a protective role of brain tissue based on microvascular protection, which has definite curative effect on stroke recovery. It also has the function of promoting microvascular regeneration in cerebral infarction area of stroke patients, and can establish new blood channels for cerebral infarction area.
Clinical studies by medical experts at home and abroad have found that the drug can obviously promote the proliferation, migration and adhesion of peripheral vascular endothelial progenitor cells, promote the angiogenesis of capillaries in ischemic areas after stroke, establish collateral circulation, significantly improve the blood supply in cerebral ischemic areas of stroke patients, significantly improve the curative effect of stroke, significantly improve the degree of neurological deficit of patients, promote the recovery of neurological function, and make hemiplegia, language disorder, limb numbness, depression and other symptoms.
