The brain is equivalent to the total commander of the human body and can send signals to dominate the body to carry out various life activities, but in recent years, many people often have insufficient blood supply to the brain, which has a great impact on life.
Especially the elderly are a high-incidence group, many elderly people will have memory loss, inattention, which is also a common multi-morbidity.
Many patients with cerebral infarction have chronic cerebral insufficiency for a long time, and if it is not found in time, it will cause the brain to be in a state of ischemia or hypoxia for a long time, which is very harmful to the body.
01
What is cerebral insufficiency?
Cerebral insufficiency is a collective term for a series of symptoms in which an area of the brain does not receive enough blood supply, resulting in a brain disorder.
According to the data, the probability of disease in the elderly over 60 years old is about 70%, and the probability of disease in the elderly over 80 years old is about 80%.
With age, the brain is prone to aging, brain tissue tolerance to ischemia decreases, the regulatory function of cerebral blood vessels will also deteriorate, and when the blood supply changes, there will be insufficient blood supply to the brain.

5 symptoms suggest cerebral insufficiency, you may wish to understand
Dizziness and swelling
Cerebral infarction is an acute condition, if the onset of the situation is particularly serious, especially before the onset of cerebral infarction, there will be cerebral blood vessel blockage, which in turn induces cerebral insufficiency, making people dizzy and swollen.
Hearing loss
Many elderly people in life often appear behind the ear or deafness, there is ear damage in a short period of time, which may be a signal of insufficient blood supply to the brain, because the body is not filled with qi and blood, which will affect the ear nerve, cause tissue lesions and blockage, and then cause hearing loss.
Poor sleep quality
If there is insufficient cerebral blood supply, it will affect the quality of sleep, especially in the middle of the night, often easy to insomnia, but also be awakened, in the day mental state is not good, at this time should go to the hospital to check blood oxygen supply.
General fatigue
General fatigue is also a common phenomenon of cerebral insufficiency, and some people will have drowsiness, which may be related to poor blood circulation, which will cause the body to be prone to ischemia and lack of oxygen, and then cause physical discomfort.
Memory loss
Some elderly people will also find that their memory is significantly reduced, and they usually can't remember things at all, which may also be related to insufficient cerebral blood supply, because insufficient cerebral blood supply will damage memory and cause memory loss.
03
Doctor: If you don't want cerebral infarction to occur, it is recommended to do 4 things well
Improve the way you eat
Cerebral blood insufficiency is a chronic disease, usually should adjust their diet, away from high sugar, high salt, high fat food, reduce the risk of atherosclerosis, usually should eat more vegetables, fruits, cereals or legumes, improve blood vessel health.
Eliminate alcohol and tobacco
The appearance of cerebral insufficiency is directly related to smoking and drinking, and some people, although they have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, still maintain the habit of smoking and drinking, but this will aggravate the damage of blood vessels and easily cause cerebral thrombosis.
Do a good job in the management of chronic diseases and standardize medication
Cerebral insufficiency is related to chronic diseases, so in the early stage of chronic diseases, we should pay attention to correcting the ischemia and hypoxia of the brain, protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Especially for the three high people, it is necessary to follow the doctor's guidance at ordinary times, take drugs on time and in quantity, and do not add or decrease drugs or change drugs.
Keep moving
Through exercise can speed up the blood flow of the whole body, is conducive to the prevention of atherosclerosis, reduce the risk of cerebral infarction, can maintain 4~5 times a week of aerobic exercise, each time more than 30 minutes, long-term adherence to exercise, can improve the problem of arteriosclerosis, but also reduce the risk of cerebral infarction.
