All uncles and aunts know that if you want to stay away from stroke with a very high fatality and disability rate and protect the brain, you should control blood sugar, blood pressure, and blood lipids.
But in addition to the risk factors of the three highs, there is also a brain-wrenching "catalyst" problem to be solved.
If the "catalyst" exists for a long time, even if the three highs are controlled, our brain is still in danger!
What exactly is this "catalyst"? How do we respond?
01
Brain-wrenching "catalyst"
It turned out to be insomnia
According to the data in the figure below, on the basis of the brain-damaging "catalyst", the risk of cerebrovascular disease suddenly increased by 63%, and the risk of hypertension increased by 79%.
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by the "catalyst" problem in the mainland account for 70%!
Director Zhang concluded that this "catalyst" will accelerate the development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which can lead to small problems becoming big problems.
If it is an elderly group that has three high problems, coupled with the "catalyst", the risk of suffering from cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction and other diseases, and even death will rise sharply.
In addition, this brain-wrenching "catalyst" exists at all ages, and everyone may have this problem, according to statistics, about 36.1% of people in the mainland have "catalyst".
Such a high-risk and common "catalyst" turned out to be insomnia!
Difficulty falling asleep, unsteady sleep, dreaming, early awakening and easy to wake up are insomnia.
Lack of sleep, blood vessels will always be in a state of tension and contraction, blood pressure fluctuations are large, if there are underlying diseases, cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction is more likely to occur.
Insomnia, if resolved, can help stabilize blood pressure, thereby reducing the risk of stroke.
02
People with sputum disturbance have a high risk of cerebral infarction
A foot soak helps prevent
In TCM clinical, insomnia is divided into five common types, two of which are closely related to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and middle-aged and elderly people are susceptible.
1. Sputum disturbance symptoms
Most of these people look fat, and the tongue is thick and greasy, the tongue is fat, as if blistered, which is a typical spleen deficiency and unfavorable performance;
When you wake up in the morning or finish eating, you can also feel that the corners of your mouth are sticky, like glue.
You will also feel groggy and unconscious, your body is tired and weak, and you will always feel tightness in your chest.
Due to spleen deficiency, it can also be accompanied by abdominal distention, abdominal fullness, stool does not form and other manifestations.
2. The cause of cerebral infarction in people with sputum disturbance
Director Zhang told us that the phlegm disturbance type is actually caused by the dysfunction of the spleen and stomach.
Spleen and stomach dysfunction and loss of lifting and lowering will lead to poor operation of water and liquid, sputum and dampness, heat and stasis, resulting in meridian blockage.
When sputum is blocked in the cerebral network, it can cause cerebral infarction.
In Chinese medicine, phlegm is divided into tangible phlegm and invisible phlegm, and arterial plaque is actually invisible phlegm.
Sputum glue is sticky, easy to block the blood vessel wall, resulting in thickening of the tube wall, narrow lumen, easy to cause obstruction, induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
3. Foot soaking to prevent stroke
Director Zhang has brought a magic weapon to deal with the risk of stroke for sputum disturbance people!
Affordable version of the foot soak party
Composition: appropriate amount of tangerine peel, mugwort leaves
Efficacy: Warm meridian disperses cold, dispels dampness and circulation
Tangerine peel has the effect of strengthening the spleen, regulating qi and dissolving dampness, pay attention to the fact that dried orange peel cannot be used instead of tangerine peel.
Because orange peel is dry after drying, without three or five years of aging, it cannot play the role of strengthening the spleen and dissolving dampness, and it is easy to get hot if you drink it often in water.
Uncles and aunts with phlegm and wet constitution with related symptoms can try this simple and easy-to-operate foot soak.
It is recommended to soak for about half an hour a day, the water temperature is not too high, and it is necessary to persevere.

A cup of happy tea
Solve the cerebral infarction crisis in people with hepatic depression
Another symptom closely related to stroke is hepatic depression.
1. Hepatic type symptoms
This syndrome is emotionally related and is more common in women.
Patients are often upset and irritable, and may also be accompanied by dizziness, tinnitus, swelling and pain, dry stool and other manifestations.
2. The cause of cerebral infarction in people with hepatic depression
"A hundred diseases are born of qi", the liver depression and qi lag behind, and over time it will turn into heat, poison, and stasis, resulting in meridian blockage, and damage to the meridians, which is related to vascular narrowing and plaque formation, so it can induce cerebral infarction.
3. Liver relief and happy tea
