Mr. Zhang, 55 years old this year, has just retired, got rid of tedious work, with a pension of 5,000 yuan, he goes to the park every day to play poker and chess, and lives a good life, as if he has opened the second spring of his life.
On this day, Mr. Zhang's lover suddenly received a phone call, Mr. Zhang suddenly fainted in the park, and the person had been sent to the hospital by 120.
It turned out that when Mr. Zhang was playing poker in the park, a bystander had been guiding him everywhere, and Mr. Zhang said a few words angrily, and the two quarreled.
When everyone didn't know what was going on, Mr. Zhang fell to the ground in a coma and was rushed to a nearby hospital by 120.
After CT examination, Mr. Zhang was diagnosed with acute cerebral infarction, and he had impaired mobility on the right side of his body and his mouth was crooked. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time, and his life was no longer in serious trouble.
Mr. Zhang's lover cried bitterly, how could he be a good person, suddenly became like this, without any signs at all.
The doctor calmed Mrs. Zhang's emotions, patiently explained the cause of Mr. Zhang's illness, and explained to Mrs. Zhang the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases that middle-aged and elderly people often neglect at home.
Mr. Zhang's onset seemed sudden, but in fact, there was a hidden cause for a long time, but Mr. Zhang didn't care.
Mr. Zhang began to have high blood pressure when he was 50 years old, often with high blood pressure exceeding 150 and low blood pressure exceeding 100, but he himself did not feel anything, so he did not take the blood pressure medication prescribed by the doctor on time, and then simply stopped taking it.
Without the control of antihypertensive drugs, blood pressure will be high for a long time, which will cause many potential harms.
Atherosclerosis and arterial stenosis are the most common cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems in patients with high blood pressure. When Mr. Zhang has an argument with others, he is more emotional, his blood pressure will further rise, and if he is accompanied by arteriosclerosis and stenosis, he will easily have a cerebral infarction.
When it comes to cerebral infarction, people with elderly people in the family are very familiar with it.
In recent years, there have been more and more cerebral infarction patients around us, especially in the northern part of the mainland, not only middle-aged and elderly men are prone to cerebral infarction, but also young people have more and more cerebral infarctions. Sometimes people who seem to be healthy may have a stroke in the next second.
Relevant data show that in the mainland, there will be a human cerebral infarction every 12 seconds, and a person will die every 21 seconds because of a cerebral infarction.
This number is shocking and warns us of the dangers of cerebral infarction.
So why do people nowadays eat well and have a good level of medical care, but they get more and more diseases?
If the root cause is investigated, it is that people's living standards have improved, and the dietary structure has also undergone many changes.
Big fish and meat, fried food is also eaten more, let go of eating, but do not exercise, so low-density fat, cholesterol and other indicators are super high, which is the main reason for people to get sick in recent years.
In addition, there is a lot of pressure in life and work, and many young people stay up late, drink alcohol, and smoke, which are also potential factors that cause high blood pressure and cerebral infarction.
Although the current medical conditions are very advanced, there is still no complete cure for patients with cerebral infarction.
Once a patient has a cerebral infarction, although patients with mild symptoms can take care of themselves and move freely, most patients will have sequelae, such as inconvenient movement of half of the body, unclear speech, etc., which are the most common sequelae of patients with cerebral infarction.
So, how should we prevent cerebral infarction? Director Liu of the Department of Neurology of Shandong Provincial Hospital said that if you want to avoid cerebral infarction, you must not do these three things after eating!
1. Keep your mood stable and less excited after eating
After eating, playing a few rounds of mahjong and playing games, many people have such a habit, but this actually has a great impact on our body.
Sitting still after eating not only affects the normal functioning of our digestive system, but may also trigger blood clots in the veins of the lower extremities.
The important thing is that playing games will cause people's mood fluctuations, and people with a bad mood will be particularly excited, especially those with high blood pressure, which will cause accelerated blood circulation and easily induce cerebral infarction.
In recent years, many middle-aged and elderly people have suddenly had a heart attack or cerebral infarction when they were playing mahjong, which was caused by emotional instability.
2. Don't take a shower immediately after eating
After the human body has eaten and drunk enough, the blood in the body will mainly supply the gastrointestinal system.
Taking a bath immediately after a meal will increase the blood flow to the body, so that the blood flow in the gastrointestinal tract will be insufficient, causing indigestion or weakened gastrointestinal function.
The important thing is that after eating, the blood sugar in the body will increase, the blood viscosity will also increase, and it is easy to lack oxygen in a relatively sealed environment when taking a bath, which will lead to the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and induce an increase in the risk of myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction.
3. Do not smoke after meals
"A cigarette after a meal is better than a living immortal. This is a saying that has been passed down for a long time, and it also represents a habit of most smokers.
But as everyone knows, this kind of behavior that everyone thinks is very happy and enjoyable is also the moment when the probability of cerebral infarction is the highest.
Smoking itself is not good for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, because the tar, nicotine and other harmful substances in cigarettes will directly stimulate small blood vessels when exposed to them for a long time, which will cause blood vessels to constrict and spasm and promote arteriosclerosis.
After eating, blood circulation is accelerated, and when you smoke, more harmful substances will be absorbed by the body along with the blood circulation, making the harm even greater, and may even be more than twice as much as usual.
4. Go to bed immediately after eating
Most people feel very drowsy after lunch, and they go to sleep as soon as they put down the bowl, which is actually a particularly dangerous behavior.
Going to bed immediately after eating will affect our stomach and intestines to process food, causing food accumulation, which will not only increase our body fat, but also increase the risk of esophageal cancer.
More importantly, after eating, blood will flow to the digestive tract and stomach, at this time most of the organs are in a state of insufficient blood flow, if you sleep immediately in this state, then the speed of blood flow will be slower, the brain is prone to insufficient blood supply, at this time it may cause myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction.
So, what should we do after a meal to benefit our health?
1. Three minutes after eating, brush your teeth and rinse your mouth, which can protect our oral hygiene and prevent dental disease.
2. Take a proper walk, walking for about half an hour, it will help our stomach and intestines to digest food, promote blood circulation, and effectively reduce the chance of cerebral infarction.
3. Gently rub our abdomen after a meal, which can replenish vitality, and it is best to put it after a walk, not immediately after eating.
4. Listening to a piece of soothing music, slowly flowing music and fresh air are all benign stimuli, which can well regulate the digestion and absorption function, and can also relax and delight the mood.
In general, it is best for us to exercise properly after eating and maintain a healthy and good attitude to help prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
