Statistics show that the mortality rate of acute cerebral hemorrhage is above 30%, and nearly 75% patients with acute cerebrovascular disease have left different degrees of sequelae, so they can't take care of themselves and need people to take care of them. ?
(A) the principle of preventing stroke
Stroke is completely preventable. The principle of prevention comes from Neijing. Neijing clearly stipulates:? The method is based on yin and yang, and on the number of skills. Have a proper diet and a regular daily life, and don't work in vain? Do you want it? Nothing, the true spirit follows, and the spirit stays inside. Leisure and less desire, peace of mind without fear, tired and tireless? Do you want it? Eat well, serve well, and have a variety of customs? , so as to achieve? Form and spirit? . ?
There is also a complete set of Neijing? Nip in the bud? Theory, the main contents include pre-illness prevention, early treatment, post-illness prevention of danger, post-illness prevention and recovery, and so on. The theory of preventing disease is of great significance to prevent stroke. ?
(2) Prevention before stroke?
Prevention is always greater than cure. What's more, stroke is a very harmful disease to the body, and the significance of prevention is very important. ?
Our health depends on the balance of yin and yang, the harmony of viscera and qi and blood. If the balance of yin and yang, zang-fu organs and qi and blood of human body is destroyed, diseases will easily occur. ?
The root cause of stroke is lack of vitality. It can be said that the core pathogenesis of stroke is deficiency in the lower part and excess in the upper part. Why are there shortcomings? First, healthy qi consumes injuries, old and weak; Second, eating disorders, overeating, spicy and hot, or drinking too much; Third, long-term excessive emotional stimulation and long-term excessive fatigue or immoral sex life.
In addition, Sun Simiao, a great doctor in the Tang Dynasty, put forward the importance of self-cultivation. He said:? It is also the righteousness of the benevolent to be good at cultivating nature to cure the disease before it is ill. Therefore, people who cultivate nature not only take medicine and chardonnay as bait, but also do everything; Well-prepared for the crime, although there is no bait, it is far enough away. Virtue can't be overcome, and taking the jade liquid elixir can't prolong life. ? In other words, to prevent stroke, we must be upright, nourishing and nourishing.
There are four ways to prevent stroke: first, pay attention to health, especially to be calm in spirit, light in diet, and conform to the changes of the four seasons in life. Second, avoid the wind, not only to avoid the external wind, but also to avoid the internal wind, and not to overeat animals such as chicken wings. Third, combine work and rest to reduce sexual life; Fourth, reduce desire, avoid greed and worry about money; Fifth, take Chinese medicine properly, cooperate with acupuncture, balance yin and yang, and replenish qi and blood.
Therefore, when we are not sick, we should pay attention to the care and maintenance of the body, so as to achieve the law of eating and living, comfortable temperament, moderate work and rest, and peace of mind.
(3) If you want to have a stroke, treat it early.
In the early stage of stroke, there are often some premonitory symptoms, such as dizziness, sweating, numbness, hands and feet being out of control, and poor muscle peristalsis. Analysis of its pathogenesis, most of them belong to the deficiency of the original and the excess of the standard. Most of them are due to blood stasis and phlegm stasis; Deficiency is mostly caused by deficiency of both qi and yin or deficiency of liver and kidney. ?
At this time, it should be treated according to the etiology and pathogenesis, and the actual person should be given blood circulation to remove blood stasis, heat and phlegm; Deficiency should replenish qi and blood, liver and kidney. Such treatment can greatly reduce the incidence of stroke and play a preventive role. ?
My clinical experience is that when these premonitory symptoms appear, timely acupuncture can also prevent the occurrence of stroke. Yang Jizhou, a famous doctor in Ming Dynasty, recorded in Acupuncture Dacheng that moxibustion was used to prevent stroke. For example, you can always moxibustion Zusanli and Juegu points, which can prevent stroke. Gong Tingxian, a famous doctor in Ming Dynasty, advocated moxibustion for health preservation, and suggested that moxibustion can prolong illness. Consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan, protect the body and smoke the roots, but remove all diseases and the pain of the five internal organs to ensure the whole body health. ? It can be said that moxibustion is very effective in preventing diseases, and it is recommended that you moxibustion in time. For specific acupoints and methods of moxibustion, readers can refer to my other related articles.
? (4) Should you keep in good health after a stroke?
It is still very important to take reasonable measures of taking body and recuperating in the middle and late stage of stroke. These measures not only consolidate the therapeutic effect, but also restore the healthy qi of the body and make the disease tend to recover. ?
Clinically, I have observed that if stroke patients can pay attention to health preservation, diet and daily life, exercise mood, and cooperate with positive and correct treatment, they can often receive satisfactory results. ?
For example, in terms of diet, I suggest that patients try to avoid all winged foods, such as chicken, fried, barbecue, greasy and sticky (referring to foods made of glutinous rice and moon cakes). Most cold fruits, ice cream, food and drinks just taken out of the refrigerator, etc. ) and so on. It is also suggested to eat more vegetables and less meat, exercise properly and keep a good mood. These are conducive to early recovery after stroke.
There are many pathological factors in stroke period, including deficiency, fire, wind, phlegm and qi and blood. If you can't strengthen health care, it is often difficult to get quick results. This also reminds us that while taking treatment measures during the onset of stroke, we must pay attention to health preservation, which is a very important measure. Only in this way can the occurrence and further development of stroke be prevented in time, so as to achieve the goal of early rehabilitation. ?
(5) Prevention of stroke from four common chronic diseases.
The reason why there will be a stroke attack is closely related to the following five diseases from clinical observation. This also reminds us that we should prevent the occurrence of these five diseases in peacetime.
? First, high blood pressure?
According to the clinical investigation report, 93% patients with acute cerebrovascular disease have a history of hypertension for many years. Hypertension is a disease caused by abnormal increase of diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure. Long-term non-active treatment will cause functional damage to target organs, including brain, heart and kidney. Moreover, tertiary hypertension can also cause cerebral blood artery injury, especially skull base artery injury, causing atherosclerosis, vasculitis and other problems. Platelets will gather on the inner wall of injured blood vessels to form plaques, which will induce cerebral infarction when the blockage is serious. When stimulated by overwork, mood swings, etc. Hardened arteries may also rupture, causing cerebral hemorrhage. ?
Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to the nursing and treatment of hypertension and prevent it from further developing into stroke. The formation of hypertension is closely related to lifestyle, such as reducing sodium intake in peacetime; Quit smoking and drinking; Proper physical exercise and outdoor exercise can significantly reduce blood pressure; Always keep a happy mood and learn to adjust your emotions. At any time, a healthy lifestyle can effectively prevent the occurrence of hypertension and lower blood pressure.
Although wind-induced stroke is more acute, it takes a long time, even decades, to develop from healthy cerebrovascular disease to stroke. This also reminds us that the prevention of stroke should start now, and we must not wait until there are signs of stroke to temporarily start prevention. Although it has an effect, the sooner the better. ?
Second, hyperlipidemia.
Hyperlipidemia is the main risk factor of stroke. When the blood lipid level exceeds the standard, the blood viscosity will also increase, and abnormal lipid metabolism will also cause endothelial cell damage and accelerate the formation of atherosclerosis. When the blood viscosity increases and the blood flow slows down, lipids will also accumulate on the inner wall of blood vessels. A plaque? So it was formed and eventually caused a cerebral infarction. ?
Modern clinical research shows that hyperlipidemia is a risk factor for stroke, and studies have proved that hyperlipidemia accounts for 56. 1% of patients with cerebral infarction. ?
To prevent hyperlipidemia, we should strictly control the intake of high-calorie and high-fat foods; Control weight, because obesity will raise blood pressure; Active physical exercise can reduce blood lipids. ?
Third, diabetes?
Diabetes is a disease caused by disorder of glucose metabolism in the body. But the real horror is not the rise of blood sugar, but various complications caused by high blood sugar, including blood vessels, nerves, eyes, kidneys and other injuries. According to clinical data, diabetes is also one of the factors inducing stroke. Because hyperglycemia will continue to cause damage to blood vessels, leading to inflammatory reaction and damage to the inner wall of blood vessels. At the same time, diabetes is often accompanied by diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia, which accelerates atherosclerosis and eventually leads to thrombosis. ?
To prevent blood sugar from rising, it is two sentences: keep your mouth shut and take your legs. Diabetes is called the disease of wealth, which is the opposite. Usually try to cook light meals and eat less greasy and fat. In addition, exercise more, choose one or two exercise methods you like, start exercising and keep regular. ?
Fourth, atherosclerosis?
Atherosclerosis is also the biggest factor inducing stroke. The cause of this disease is extremely complicated. In addition to the above three diseases as catalysts, genetic factors, acquired diet and living habits are all causes of atherosclerosis. With the gradual thickening and hardening of the arterial wall, the vascular lumen will gradually narrow, and the passage through which blood passes will become narrower and narrower. Coupled with the influence of plaque formation and other factors, it will eventually lead to a stroke. ?
Preventing atherosclerosis is the same as preventing hypertension. In short, it is to adjust diet, daily life, exercise and mood. ?
To sum up, the above four diseases are the causes of stroke. Especially? Three highs? The development of stroke is the most common in clinic. How to prevent stroke? The view of western medicine is that we should pay attention to the treatment of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, atherosclerosis and other related diseases in our daily life. ?
But from the analysis of Chinese medicine, such preventive measures are not counted at all. The fundamental pathogenesis of stroke is deficiency in the lower part and excess in the upper part. Therefore, the key to prevent stroke is to maintain vitality and make it empty, not to treat a disease. Only by grasping the root causes can prevention be thorough. Efforts to treat certain diseases are always scratching their heads. For these patients with chronic diseases, it is suggested to learn the concept of traditional Chinese medicine and use the theory of Neijing to guide their health.
