The "source" of cerebral infarction may be discovered, and the fat meat is not on the list, and it is these 5 things that are really not recommended to eat
Uncle Liu, who is 55 years old this year, went to the hospital with his son for a physical examination half a year ago. The doctor said that Uncle Liu's blood vessels are not very good, and he has to pay attention to his diet.
But Uncle Liu thought, I'm this age, I've been eating, drinking, and Lazar for so many years, how can I say that I can change it? So he didn't take it too seriously, he still should eat and drink, and he didn't even bother to go for a walk.
On this day, Uncle Liu suddenly felt dizzy, and he couldn't say anything. The family sent him to the hospital in a panic, and when he was examined, the doctor said that he was a cerebral infarction.
His life was saved, but he left sequelae, and now Uncle Liu has to do rehabilitation training every day, and it is difficult to recover to the way it was before.
Uncle Liu doesn't want to mention how much he regrets it now, and he also began to wonder in his heart, why did he get this disease because he didn't usually eat any fatty meat?
The doctor explained that the culprit of cerebral infarction is not only fatty meat, but also some seemingly healthy foods, but in fact, they may also be "invisible killers".
With the improvement of living standards, people's eating habits have changed dramatically. As a common middle-aged and elderly disease, the incidence of cerebral infarction is increasing year by year.
However, many people's perception of cerebral infarction is still limited to the perception of fatty foods such as fatty meat, ignoring other possible dietary risks.
So, in addition to fatty meat, what other foods may also be the culprit of cerebral infarction?
01
Cerebral infarction, commonly known as cerebral ischemic stroke in medicine, is caused by a sudden blockage of blood vessels in the brain that interrupts blood flow to a specific brain area, resulting in loss of function or death of brain cells.
When this happens, the patient's life and health are at serious risk.
According to statistics, cerebral infarction is one of the main causes of disability and death in adults.
Its danger lies not only in its high morbidity, but also in its high disability and mortality rates.
Once a cerebral infarction occurs, even if it survives, the patient may be left with severe speech, movement, or cognitive impairment that seriously affects the quality of life.
02
1. Dizziness and headache
Dizziness and headache are the most common precursors of cerebral infarction, especially when these symptoms appear suddenly, and should cause immediate alarm.
2. Blurred vision
Cerebral infarction can cause insufficient blood supply to the areas of the brain that control vision, causing sudden blurring of vision or loss of visual field.
3. The limbs do not listen to the call
If you find that your hands and feet suddenly become weak, or even completely unable to control them, it may be a sign that the area of the brain that controls the movement of the limbs is affected.
4. Slurred speech or aphasia
Cerebral infarction may affect the language area, causing the person to speak slurred or unable to speak at all.
03
Dietary habits have a direct impact on the occurrence of cerebral infarction, and unhealthy dietary habits, such as high-fat and high-sugar foods, long-term intake will increase the burden of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, thereby increasing the risk of cerebral infarction.
Moreover, the onset of cerebral infarction is not only related to those obvious high-fat foods (such as fatty meat), and some seemingly harmless foods may also become invisible killers that induce cerebral infarction.
1. Desserts
Sweets may make people feel happy, but excessive sugar intake can lead to an increase in blood sugar levels and increase blood viscosity, thereby increasing the burden on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems.
Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, too much sugar not only affects the body's nutrient absorption, but also may directly increase the risk of cerebral infarction.
2. Pickled vegetables
Although pickled vegetables are delicious, their high salt content can lead to an increase in blood pressure, and long-term intake of high-salt foods can also make blood vessels brittle and easily rupture, thereby increasing the probability of cerebral infarction.
3. Animal offal
These foods are rich in iron, which is good for preventing anemia, but they are also high in cholesterol and fat, which is extremely bad for vascular health. Eating animal offal increases cholesterol accumulation on the walls of blood vessels, thereby increasing the risk of cerebral infarction.
4. Alcohol
Moderate alcohol consumption may be beneficial to health, but excessive alcohol consumption can seriously irritate blood vessels and increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
For people who are already at risk of cerebral infarction or cardiovascular disease, it is recommended to minimize or avoid alcohol intake.
5. Fried food
Fried foods contain a lot of trans fats and saturated fats, which increase blood viscosity and blood lipid levels, and are one of the common causes of cerebral infarction.
04
1. Drink plenty of water
Maintaining adequate water intake can help maintain blood flow and prevent it from becoming too thick. Especially after waking up in the morning, a glass of warm water can activate body functions and improve metabolism.
2. Control blood pressure and blood sugar
These two indicators are important factors in evaluating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health, and through a healthy diet and moderate exercise, blood pressure and blood sugar can be effectively controlled, thereby reducing the risk of cerebral infarction.
3. Exercise moderately
Regular physical activity, such as brisk walking, swimming, or cycling, can not only enhance cardiopulmonary fitness, but also improve blood circulation and prevent cerebral infarction.
4. Get enough sleep
Ensuring adequate sleep and avoiding overexertion is one of the important strategies to prevent cerebral infarction, and good work and rest habits can help maintain the health of the brain and body and reduce the risk of disease.
5. Avoid smoking
Smoking is an important risk factor for cerebral infarction and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and quitting smoking can significantly reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
6. Regular physical examination
Through regular health check-ups, high blood pressure, high blood sugar and other health problems that may lead to cerebral infarction can be detected and dealt with in a timely manner, and regular monitoring of physical condition and prescribing the right medicine are the key to preventing diseases.
Although cerebral infarction is a serious health threat, we are fully capable of reducing the risk of its occurrence through reasonable dietary modification and lifestyle improvement.
Let's take responsibility for the health of ourselves and our families from now on, actively prevent cerebral infarction, and enjoy a healthy life.
