Blood supply to the brain is insufficient, and the incidence rate of the elderly is high. According to incomplete statistics, 70% of people over 60 years old have different degrees of cerebral blood supply deficiency; Among the elderly over 80 years old, 80% have insufficient blood supply to the brain. But it does not rule out that young people may also have this situation.
For people with symptoms of cerebral blood supply deficiency, it is the key to find the cause and actively control it. For example, people with "three highs" should control their blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipid within the normal range as much as possible to prevent further cerebrovascular diseases and aggravate cerebral blood supply deficiency; Patients with heart failure, atrial fibrillation and cervical spondylosis should also be actively treated.
For normal people, with the aging of blood vessels, it is inevitable that there will be insufficient blood supply to the brain, so active prevention is the key.
The following methods are not only suitable for healthy people to prevent cerebral blood supply deficiency, but also suitable for people with cerebral blood supply deficiency to improve.
① Supplementing antioxidant substances
Antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, anthocyanin and lycopene can help to eliminate free radicals and reduce their damage to blood vessels, thus helping to reduce the deposition of lipid substances on the blood vessel wall, preventing vascular stenosis and ensuring adequate blood supply.
Fresh vegetables and fruits, such as tomatoes, blueberries, mulberries and oranges. , are rich in antioxidants, so make sure you get enough every day.
② Eat more unsaturated fatty acids.
Unsaturated fatty acids can esterify cholesterol, reduce the content of cholesterol and triglyceride in blood, reduce blood viscosity and improve blood microcirculation, which is of great benefit to prevent hyperlipidemia and protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids, such as olive oil, fish, nuts, mushrooms, milk, etc., can be appropriately added to life.
2 "dynamic immersion" promotes blood circulation.
By promoting blood circulation, the cerebral blood supply deficiency caused by slow blood flow can be improved.
① Exercise
Exercise is a very good way to promote blood circulation and improve metabolism, which can help blood flow smoothly and improve blood supply to the brain.
It is recommended to do aerobic exercise for more than 30 minutes every day, such as jogging, brisk walking, Tai Ji Chuan and swimming. , at least 3 times a week. Moderate exercise intensity is appropriate, that is, your heart beats faster and you speak more easily, but you should do what you can and step by step.
In addition, you can stand on tiptoe while watching TV, which can make the myocardium get more oxygen, increase the blood circulation of lower limbs, improve the blood flow speed, and thus improve the blood circulation.
② soaking feet
Soaking feet is also recognized as a good way to promote blood circulation. It is suggested to soak your feet with warm water of about 40℃ 15~20 minutes every night, and some related Chinese medicines can be added according to the doctor's advice, which is more conducive to blood circulation. However, patients with diabetes, varicose veins and patients with skin infection and ulceration need to be cautious.
