1, hypertension is the most dangerous factor of stroke, and it is also a central link of stroke prevention. We should effectively control blood pressure, insist on taking medicine for a long time, and observe the changes of blood pressure for a long time so as to deal with it in time.
2. Controlling and reducing transient cerebrovascular ischemic attack (that is, transient hemiplegia, weakness or dizziness, diplopia, dysphagia, unstable walking and other symptoms) is the key link to prevent stroke. Once a minor stroke occurs, it is necessary to pay close attention to systematic treatment immediately, and a complete stroke is possible to avoid.
3. Pay attention to the premonitory symptoms of stroke such as dizziness, headache, numbness of limbs, lethargy and abnormal personality, and take treatment measures to avoid the occurrence of stroke.
4. Eliminate the inducing factors of stroke, such as mood swings, excessive fatigue and overexertion. Should be self-controlled and avoided.
5, timely treatment of diseases that may cause stroke, such as arteriosclerosis, diabetes, coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia, hyperviscosity, sexual behavior, obesity, cervical spondylosis, etc.
6. The diet should have a reasonable structure, mainly low in salt, fat and cholesterol, and eat more soy products, vegetables and fruits. Avoid smoking and drinking less, and the daily drinking amount should not exceed 100 ml (liquor). Check blood sugar and blood lipid regularly.
7. Insisting on physical exercise and physical activity can promote the decomposition of cholesterol, reduce blood lipids, reduce platelet aggregation, and relieve mental stress and fatigue.
8. Pay attention to psychological prevention, keep cheerful and emotionally stable. Do a regular life, combine work and rest, keep defecation unobstructed, and avoid a sharp rise in blood pressure caused by forced defecation, which in turn leads to cerebrovascular diseases.
Stroke patients should pay attention to keep warm and prevent colds when the climate changes; Don't use your brain too much; Be careful when going out at ordinary times to prevent falling; Get up, bow your head, tie your shoelaces and other daily activities should be slow; Bathing time should not be too long; Pay attention to the treatment of primary diseases and prevent the recurrence of cerebrovascular diseases. According to different causes, insist on treatment and review necessary items regularly. In order to prevent recurrence, the above precautions should be paid enough attention.
If you are worried about stroke, you must do the following four things at the same time:
1. Eat more vegetables and fruits. Eat at least five kinds every day, and carrots must be included.
People who eat carrots five times a week or more are 68% less likely to have a stroke than those who eat carrots only once a month or less! This is the result of Harvard University tracking 90,000 female nurses for eight years. In addition, spinach is also a very effective food to prevent stroke. The protective effect of carrots and spinach is because they are rich in beta-carotene. According to research, people who consume 15-20 mg of beta-carotene every day are obviously different from those who consume only 6 mg every day.
Vegetables rich in β -carotene such as carrots and spinach can prevent stroke, because carotene can prevent cholesterol from being oxidized into harmful forms, and then accumulate in blood vessels, causing blood clots. More importantly, if the blood contains a lot of beta-carotene and vitamin A, it can help you avoid stroke death, or reduce the nerve damage caused by stroke and accelerate your recovery! This is the conclusion reached by researchers at the University of Brussels after examining the blood of 80 stroke patients within 24 hours after onset. This is because when you have a stroke, that is, when your brain is deprived of oxygen, the function of your brain cells begins to be damaged, and the most serious situation is the damage of brain nerve cells. But if you have a lot of vitamin A in your blood, it can prevent all kinds of cell diseases when they occur, thus reducing the degree of brain damage or the chance of death.
2. Eat fish at least three times a week, especially fish rich in omega-3 fat.
If your blood contains a lot of omega-3 fatty acids, your chances of having a stroke will be less; And even if you have a stroke, the damage will be less. A recent study in the Netherlands found that people aged 60-69 who eat fish at least once a week, and those who don't eat fish, are less likely to have a stroke in the next 15 years.
A series of studies in Japan also found that fishermen who eat 9 ounces of fish a day are 25-40% less likely to die of stroke than farmers who eat only 3 ounces of fish a day.
This is because the magical omega-3 fatty acids can regulate the state of blood, making it difficult for blood to form thrombus, thus preventing cerebral vascular occlusion. If you are old enough to worry about the blockage of your blood vessels, imagine this situation: when you take fish oil, it will stay in your cell membrane. This cell filled with fish oil is elastic and as soft as liquid. In other words, this soft form of cells is easier to squeeze through narrow blood vessels and deliver oxygen to cells in the brain and heart. This ingenious change can save your life, especially when your blood vessels are aging and blocked.
By the way, satiety and animal fat have the opposite effect, which will make the cell membrane more rigid. Therefore, in order to prevent stroke and cardiovascular diseases, it is best not to eat this kind of fat.
3. Control the salt intake.
Even if salt doesn't raise your blood pressure, it may be harmful to brain tissue and cause a slight stroke. Someone once experimented with mice and fed them high-salt and low-salt diets respectively. Mice fed a high-salt diet died of a stroke within fifteen weeks, although their blood pressure did not rise; However, only 12% of mice who ate a low-salt diet died of stroke. Mice that died by eating a high-salt diet suffered a series of minor strokes, which eventually led to brain tissue necrosis and arterial injury.
4. Consider drinking tea, especially green tea.
Remember, taking these actions can reduce the degree of nerve damage and reduce the chance of death from stroke in case you have a stroke.
