According to data from the Lancet Neuropathy Journal, there are 17.3 million newly diagnosed cerebral infarction cases worldwide every year, of which China accounts for 5.51 million, accounting for about 30%. These data show that all of them mean that cerebral infarction has become a common killer for people all over the world, especially in China, so why is the new incidence and mortality rate of cerebral infarction in mainland China so high?
Liu Hao is a food blogger, because the video of challenging the big stomach king in his junior year quickly gained fans, so he did not choose to work in this major after graduation, but became a food blogger. In order to cater to the preferences of fans, Liu Hao's weight is also in just two days, from 140 pounds to 180 pounds!
On June 12, 2021, Liu Hao found that he was hungry fast recently, because his appetite was already big, so he took it to heart. But along with it, I went to the toilet frequently and drank a lot of water. But when I got up early to weigh myself, I found that my weight was 10 pounds less than before. Liu Hao felt that something was wrong, his weight hadn't dropped for a year, why had he been hungry fast recently, he had eaten too much, and why had he dropped down?
The doctor carefully inquired about Liu Hao's symptoms and found that Liu Hao met the typical symptoms of diabetes, so he asked Liu Hao to take blood. The results came out, the random blood sugar was 13.2, there were symptoms of diabetes and the random blood sugar was greater than 11.1, Liu Hao was diagnosed with type II diabetes.
And other blood tests showed that cholesterol was 5.6, triglycerides were 11.4, and hyperlipidemia could be diagnosed as high as cholesterol and/or triglycerides were elevated, and Liu Hao's blood pressure was 159/83 at the time of admission. It belongs to the patients with three highs.
The doctor told Liu Hao that his three highs were mainly caused by obesity, and if he did not lose weight and control his diet, it might lead to the occurrence of myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. Liu Hao didn't expect that obesity would cause so many problems, and he planned to lose weight after going back, but because of his occupation, his diet has not been well controlled, and because he has been taking medicine, there are no uncomfortable symptoms, so he has no plan.
Because fat has the effect of heat preservation, Liu Hao always feels very hot in summer, except for food exploration, he basically spends time in an air-conditioned room. On June 12, 2021, when Liu Hao was live broadcast in the room, netizens said that Liu Hao's face was a little crooked, Liu Hao looked in the mirror and found that the corner of his right mouth was slanted down, and he was afraid that he would be paralyzed at a young age, so he immediately went to the hospital for treatment.
The doctor suggested that Liu Hao do a brain MRI to rule out whether it was facial paralysis caused by nerve damage. The results came out, and the brain MRI showed no damage to the cranial nerve and facial nerve. Liu Hao's hanging heart can finally be put down. The doctor told Liu Hao that every summer, many patients blow directly on the air conditioner, causing their facial nerve vasospasm, resulting in nerve ischemia, and thus their faces are crooked.
But don't worry, it will return to normal in a few days, and then I will also be prescribed methylcobalamin, vitamin B1 and other drugs to nourish the nerves. Tell Liu Hao not to blow on the air conditioner in the future, and take medicine on time. It is also because of this visit that Liu Hao has a hidden danger after cerebral infarction.
On July 12, 2022, Liu Hao found that water flowed out of the corner of his mouth when he was drinking water, and he was very puzzled, so he looked in the mirror and found that his face was crooked.
However, on the same night, Liu Hao got up to go to the bathroom at night and found that he had double vision when he saw things, he subconsciously shook his head, found that there was no double vision, and thought that he was dazzled. However, just when he was about to wash his hands, he suddenly felt that the right half of his body was unconscious, and a black appeared in front of him, and then he fell to the ground suddenly, and when his mother heard the abnormal noise and rushed to the bathroom, he saw Liu Hao's forehead overflowing with blood and he was unconscious. An ambulance was immediately called.
CT scan of the brain showed cerebral infarction in the left basal ganglia and temporal lobe, calcified plaque formation at the bifurcation of the lateral common carotid artery, and atherosclerosis at the internal carotid artery. Diagnosis of cerebral infarction. Liu Hao's mother couldn't accept this fact and asked the doctor, why did Liu Hao have a cerebral infarction when he was only in his 20s?
The doctor told Liu Hao's mother that the main reason was Liu Hao's death of a patient with three highs, to be precise, the cause of Liu Hao's cerebral infarction was obesity. Obesity leads to Liu Hao's body fat too much obesity, resulting in high blood sugar, blood lipids, and high blood pressure, which all lead to the formation of lipid plaques in the arteries, which leads to cerebral arteriosclerosis, cerebral blood vessel stenosis, insufficient blood supply, and cerebral tissue ischemia and hypoxia, resulting in cerebral infarction.
In fact, data show that the obesity rate of adults in the United States is close to 40%, which is listed by the World Health Organization as one of the top three countries in the world for obesity rates, while China's data is 14%, less than half of that of the United States. However, the incidence of cerebral infarction in China is on the rise, and even the incidence of cerebral infarction is younger, while the incidence of cerebral infarction in the United States is gradually decreasing!
As early as the beginning of the last century, the U.S. government began to make folic acid supplementation mandatory in food. Because folic acid is an anti-arteriosclerosis drug. In fact, more than 50% of cerebral infarctions are caused by arteriosclerosis, taking folic acid is a drug that can reduce blood homocysteine, because blood homocysteine is an arteriosclerosis indicator that coexists with blood sugar and blood lipids, and long-term supplementation of folic acid can effectively prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction, and also has a good effect on preventing the recurrence of cerebral infarction.
At the same time, poor eating habits in life are also a major cause of cerebral infarction!
One is a high-fat diet
In daily life, everyone thinks that greasy food is a high-fat diet, but in fact, animal offal also contains a lot of cholesterol, when ingesting too much, lipids will be deposited in the inner wall of blood vessels, causing narrowing of the arterial wall and inducing cerebral infarction. In addition to fatty meats, cream, butter, nuts, etc. are all high-fat foods in life.
The second is high-sugar foods
High-sugar foods enter the body and are absorbed into the bloodstream, which will cause the glucose in the blood to rise rapidly, and the excess glucose will be converted into fat by insulin, which will further lead to an increase in blood lipid levels. High blood lipids can also make the blood thicken, slow down blood flow, form blood clots, and increase the incidence of cerebral infarction.
Among them, the delicate starch of white rice, noodles, steamed buns, and steamed buns that are often eaten in life are all high-sugar foods, which are high in calories but low in nutritional value, and long-term large intake can easily lead to excess nutrition and thus be converted into fat.
The third is high-salt food
High salt foods will not only increase the burden on the kidneys, but also easily induce high blood pressure, which will lead to damage to the lining of blood vessels, resulting in the accumulation of platelet clotting factors in the damaged area, causing blood clots, and will also lead to thickening of blood vessels and causing stenosis, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Common high-salt foods in life include pickled products, bacon, mustard, sausages, etc., and it is recommended that patients with cardiovascular diseases eat less.
In addition to eating less of these foods, you can also eat more coarse grains, such as corn, wheat, etc., which can reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as celery, carrots, dragon fruit, etc., which are rich in dietary fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and reduce the absorption of blood lipids.
Fruits and vegetables contain a lot of vitamins that can play a role in fat loss, especially B12 can not only prevent anemia, but also maintain the health of the nervous system and help the recovery of cerebral infarction patients.
