According to relevant statistics, the number of stroke cases in China is 2.5 million every year, and the number of stroke deaths is 2 million every year, accounting for 22% of the total death population, and the annual mortality rate is 14.4%- 15.4%.
"Stroke" is the main cause of death among China residents because of high-salt diet. Moreover, many studies have pointed out that stroke is directly related to high sodium intake. In the words of ordinary people, it is "eating salt"!
You can see that it is mentioned in many health programs that adults should eat no more than 6 grams of salt every day, but the fact is that they are very happy, but they ignore their own health.
According to relevant statistics, about 80% of China people consume more than 12.5g of salt every day, which is twice the recommended intake by experts. What a terrible figure!
What is even more frightening is that the probability of stroke in the northern population is very high. The reason for this result is mainly related to the eating habits of northerners, especially in winter, northerners have the habit of eating pickles, and a large amount of salt in pickles has become one of the causes of stroke.
Next, let's look at other high-risk factors that lead to stroke:
1, hypertension
Recurrent strokes are mostly related to hypertension, such as stress, lack of exercise and staying up late for a long time.
After the occurrence of hypertension, we should actively stabilize blood pressure to reduce the risk of stroke, take antihypertensive drugs in strict accordance with the doctor's advice, stay away from high-salt foods, and stabilize blood pressure below 130/80 mmhg.
Step 2 smoke
Because the harmful substances in cigarettes will accelerate the development of vascular atherosclerosis and eventually promote the formation of plaques. Therefore, everyone should quit smoking for their own health and stay away from the harm of second-hand smoke.
3, hyperlipidemia
30% of stroke patients are caused by hyperlipidemia. The root cause is that hyperlipidemia leads to cerebral atherosclerosis, or the cerebral artery itself has an aneurysm. The fluctuation of hypertension leads to the rupture of cerebral artery or cerebral aneurysm, which leads to stroke.
Especially when the level of low density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride increases, which leads to the destruction of vascular endothelial integrity, these lipids will deposit on the vascular wall to accelerate the formation of plaques, thus blocking the cerebral vessels and eventually leading to stroke.
4. Diabetes
Both pre-diabetes and post-diabetes are high risk factors of stroke, because the blood vessels of pre-diabetes patients have been damaged, which will lead to the recurrence of stroke.
In this case, everyone needs to take medicine in strict accordance with the doctor's advice, don't smoke and drink, and stay away from high-sugar foods. More importantly, we should actively control weight, learn to release stress and keep blood sugar stable.
5. Atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is an independent risk factor for stroke, and its mortality and disability rate are significantly increased. Atrial fibrillation will lead to the decrease or loss of pumping function of the heart, impaired heart function, slow blood flow, blood stasis and thrombosis. The newly formed thrombus falls off easily. If the thrombus falls off and blocks the cerebral artery, it will lead to a stroke. Therefore, it is very important to actively deal with atrial fibrillation. In this case, it is recommended to take medicine according to the doctor's advice and check it regularly.
6. Obesity
Obesity can lead to stroke because obese people have high blood lipid levels, which tend to accumulate on blood vessel walls, thus accelerating atherosclerosis, reducing blood vessel elasticity, and eventually leading to vascular diseases such as hypertension and stroke. Moreover, the level of blood sugar regulation of obese people will also decrease, the risk of occurrence will increase obviously, and it will also cause certain damage to blood vessels and accelerate the occurrence of stroke.
Of course, in addition to the above, there are also factors such as age and alcoholism, which are all causes of stroke.
Therefore, the prevention of stroke needs to start from the source and pay attention to diet regulation. In addition to avoiding high salt, we can also eat the following ingredients to prevent it, and the effect is good:
1, banana
Banana is not only a sweet and delicious fruit, but also a good treatment. Eating a banana every meal can reduce the risk of stroke by 265,438+0%.
Do you know that?/You know what? 60% of strokes are related to hypertension. Every 100g banana contains about 256mg of potassium, and a banana contains about 500mg of potassium, with relatively low sodium, which helps to lower blood pressure.
Step 2: potatoes
Potatoes contain a lot of cellulose and vitamins, which can help stabilize the cholesterol content in the blood. Because the cause of stroke is because the blood viscosity is too high, and as long as you insist on eating potatoes every day to prevent stroke, there is a certain probability to reduce the risk of stroke.
Moreover, the potassium and vitamin C contained in potatoes have the functions of neutralizing and nourishing the stomach, strengthening the spleen and promoting diuresis, and lowering blood sugar and blood lipid.
3. Whole milk
Milk can prevent stroke, you are not mistaken, and it is also full-fat milk. This is because milk contains pyrroloquinoline, which is a nutrient that plays an important role in protecting brain nerves.
A study published in TOPSANTE magazine shows that drinking whole milk properly will help prevent stroke. This study was conducted by a research team from the University of Texas. They followed up about 3000 elderly people for 13 years. During the period of 13, a * * measured the fatty acids of the participants three times. Finally, after comprehensive comparison, it is found that people who often drink whole milk have a significantly lower risk of dying from stroke.
4. Mushrooms
To prevent stroke, you might as well eat more mushrooms, because this food contains a variety of amino acids, lentinan and polysaccharide. If you eat mushrooms regularly on weekdays, you can lower your cholesterol and have a good preventive and auxiliary effect on arteriosclerosis and hypertension.
Step 5 drink green tea
Drinking green tea can prevent stroke to some extent, because tea contains flavonoids, and there are about 150 to 200 mg in a cup of tea. The composition can improve the vasoconstriction function and has obvious control effect on arteriosclerosis.
This sentence makes sense, but it is more important to understand that your daily diet and habits directly determine your health. Therefore, in order to live a long and healthy life, you should learn to start from bit by bit and keep your health around you.
