Stroke and cerebral infarction are more common cerebrovascular diseases, once the onset, patients will have a series of discomfort symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, vision loss, and limb numbness of different degrees.
These symptoms are very similar, so many people think that stroke and cerebral infarction are completely a disease.
But in fact, although stroke and cerebral infarction belong to the same cerebrovascular disease, they are not a type of disease, and there is a certain difference between them.
As for the differences, let's give you a detailed introduction.
What is the difference between stroke and cerebral infarction?
Stroke is also known as stroke and includes both ischemic and hemorrhagic. Hemorrhagic stroke, also known as cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral hemorrhage, is an acute cerebrovascular disease in which ventricular hemorrhage, cerebral parenchymal hemorrhage, or subarachnoid hemorrhage occurs.
Ischemic stroke, commonly known as stroke, is a type of ischemia, necrosis and softening of local brain tissue due to disorders in blood circulation in the brain. This shows that stroke includes cerebral infarction, and cerebral infarction is only one type of stroke.
However, whether it is ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, once the disease occurs, it has the characteristics of rapid progression, high disability rate, high recurrence rate, many complications and high mortality, so in daily life, it is necessary to do a good job in preventing such diseases.
The cause of the stroke is related to some bad habits. Therefore, if you want to prevent stroke, you must develop some good habits, and then, let's introduce it in detail for you.
How to effectively prevent stroke?
First, actively treat chronic diseases
For people with hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, or a series of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease and insufficient blood supply to the brain, it is necessary to take drugs regularly and quantitatively under the guidance of a doctor. And pay attention to monitoring your own blood lipids, blood sugar, blood pressure values.
Second, do not smoke and drink
Drinking alcohol every day is a major trigger for stroke. Ethanol components can cause abnormal spasm of blood vessels, and can also cause damage to the lining of blood vessels, which is easy to block or rupture blood vessels.
Cigarettes can enter the circulatory system, causing abnormal spasms in the blood vessels. And lead to the shedding of the endometrium of the blood vessels, which will increase the incidence of stroke.
Third, get enough sleep
There must be a certain amount of sufficient sleep time every night, which can make the heart and brain get better rest, and make the vasodilation speed accelerate the speed of blood circulation.
If you stay up late, the body will secrete a large amount of norepinephrine and other hormones, which will stimulate the blood vessels, which will affect the elasticity and toughness of the blood vessels, and will also increase the incidence of stroke.
Fourth, a reasonable diet
Do not eat too much oil, salt, sugar, spicy foods, these foods will affect the blood flow rate, and will damage the health of blood vessels.
Eat more plant foods, and appropriately match dairy products, lean meat, eggs, fish and other foods.
Fifth, appropriate water replenishment
Appropriate supplementation of some boiled water every day, or light green tea, black tea, etc. It can accelerate blood circulation, promote the metabolism of lipids and other substances in blood vessels, and has the effect of unclogging blood vessels and preventing stroke.
Sixth, increase exercise
Be sure not to sit for a long time, otherwise, the blood flow rate will become slower and slower, and the elasticity of the blood vessels will also decrease.
Appropriate increase in exercise can speed up the overall blood circulation, increase the elasticity of blood vessels, and the probability of stroke and some other cardiovascular diseases will be relatively reduced.
In summary, stroke and cerebral infarction are vascular diseases, but stroke is also called stroke, which is divided into two categories: ischemic and hemorrhagic. Hemorrhagic stroke is also known as cerebral hemorrhage, while ischemic stroke is called cerebral infarction or stroke.
Regardless of the type, if the onset is not treated in time, it will lead to serious threats to the patient's health and life. Therefore, in daily life, we must pay attention to adjusting our living habits, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of stroke.
In addition to the above 6 points, we must pay attention to maintaining a good mood, and when the temperature drops, we should also do a good job of keeping the head warm, which can minimize the incidence of stroke.
