"Ah, you're so daring!" Dr. Li shook his head and looked at the bandages on Uncle Zhang's hands.
Here's the thing, 55-year-old Uncle Zhang is the manager of the construction site. One day, on a whim, he decided to go to the pet market and pick up a cute puppy to keep him company.
Who knows, carelessly, I was bitten by a small Bichon Frise. Although Uncle Zhang felt sorry for the puppy, he had to rush to the hospital to get a rabies vaccine. At the hospital, Dr. Li suggested that Uncle Zhang take a physical examination by the way.
Uncle Zhang thought about it, and came anyway, so he listened to the doctor's advice and did a full body examination. Two days later, the physical examination report came out, and the results surprised Uncle Zhang. Dr. Li flipped through the report and began his medical explanation.
"Look at this report, the blood lipids are high, the blood sugar is high, and the blood pressure is a little high. The manager of our construction site is really tired! Dr. Lee laughed.

Uncle Zhang scratched his head: "Doctor, I don't usually think there is any problem, are these serious?" ”
"It's not serious, but these indicators are all high-risk factors for cerebral infarction." Dr. Lee put down the report, his eyes becoming serious. "You know what? Recently we studied 1,883 patients with cerebral infarction and found that they have four common features, and you account for three. ”
Uncle Zhang realized the seriousness of the matter and decided to listen to the doctor's detailed explanation. First, Dr. Lee explained the first commonality: high blood pressure. "High blood pressure is the number one enemy of cerebral infarction, it can stiffen the walls of blood vessels, make blood flow poor, and eventually lead to blockage of blood vessels. It's like the aging water pipes on our construction sites
Jam. Just like the aging water pipes on our construction site, the water flow is not smooth and it is easy to clog. Dr. Li used a metaphor to make Uncle Zhang suddenly realize. Dr. Lee then talked about the second commonality: high blood sugar.
"People with diabetes have too much sugar in their blood, which can damage the walls of blood vessels and increase the risk of thrombosis. Just like if there is too much cement flowing into the water pipes on our construction site, the water pipes will definitely be blocked after a long time. Uncle Zhang nodded, thinking that this metaphor was very vivid.
Dr. Lee then talked about the second commonality: high blood sugar. "People with diabetes have too much sugar in their blood, which can damage the walls of blood vessels and increase the risk of thrombosis.
Just like if there is too much cement flowing into the water pipes on our construction site, the water pipes will definitely be blocked after a long time. Uncle Zhang nodded, feeling that this metaphor was too vivid.
The third commonality, hyperlipidemia, cannot be ignored. "Too much fat in the blood can form plaques on the walls of blood vessels and clog them. Just like if there is too much sand and stones mixed in the water on our construction site, the water flow will definitely not be smooth. Dr. Lee explained.
"What about the fourth commonality?" Uncle Zhang asked.
"Ah, that's interesting." Dr. Lee smiled mysteriously. "The fourth commonality is to stay up late! We found that these patients had a habit of staying up late for a long time. Staying up late will lead to decreased immunity, endocrine disorders, and blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids will be affected. ”
Uncle Zhang was taken aback: "Will staying up late also cause cerebral infarction?" "Isn't it!" Dr. Lee went on to explain, "People who stay up late for a long time do not get enough rest in their bodies, and their blood flow slows down, making it easy for blood clots to form.
Once these blood clots block the blood vessels in the brain, they can cause cerebral infarction. In order to make Uncle Zhang more understanding, Dr. Li also talked about a few specific cases.
"There is a patient, Lao Wang, who is about your age and is also the manager of the construction site. He stayed up late every day and worked overtime, with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood lipids. One day, I suddenly felt dizzy, and as a result, I was diagnosed with a cerebral infarction.
After treatment and rehabilitation, he now goes to bed early and wakes up early every day, eats a light diet, and controls his blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids very well, and has never had any more attacks. ”
After hearing this, Uncle Zhang beat a drum in his heart: "Then what should I do, doctor?" Dr. Li smiled and patted Uncle Zhang on the shoulder: "Don't worry, let's make a health plan together." First of all, control your blood pressure, eat less salt, eat less greasy food, and eat more vegetables and fruits.
Second, control blood sugar, eat less foods high in sugar, and exercise moderately. Also, control blood lipids, eat less foods with high fat content, and quit smoking and drinking. Uncle Zhang nodded like garlic when he heard this, and quickly wrote down these points. "Most importantly, remember to go to bed early and wake up early to get enough sleep."
Dr. Lee concluded. "It's like a machine on a construction site, overloaded every day, and sooner or later there will be problems." Uncle Zhang nodded again and again, thinking that these truths were really simple and practical. At this point in the topic, Dr. Li suddenly smiled: "By the way, there is another interesting discovery. ”
Uncle Zhang asked curiously, "What did you find?" ”
"Studies have found that people who are prone to cerebral infarction also have a common characteristic, that is, they are impatient." "People with an impatient personality are prone to mood swings and blood pressure fluctuations, which is also one of the risk factors for cerebral infarction. ”
Uncle Zhang touched his head: "I have a good personality, not too impatient." ”
Dr. Li nodded: "That's good, but you should also pay attention to it, keep a good mood, and relax your mind." ”
At this point in the story, Uncle Zhang has fully understood his health risks and decided to change his lifestyle from now on to stay away from the risk of cerebral infarction.
So, since cerebral infarction is related to high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high blood lipids, staying up late and irritable personality, how can we prevent these problems from our daily life?
The first is the prevention of high blood pressure: to achieve a low-salt diet, the daily intake of salt does not exceed 6 grams; Quit smoking, limit alcohol, exercise moderately, and get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week; Monitor your blood pressure regularly to keep your mood calm.
Preventive measures for hyperglycemia include: eating a reasonable diet, reducing the intake of high-sugar foods, eating more whole grains and vegetables; Maintain a healthy weight and prevent obesity;
Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly to detect abnormalities and seek medical attention. Preventive measures for hyperlipidemia include: eating a light diet and reducing the intake of high-fat and high-cholesterol foods;
Eat more fish and nuts rich in unsaturated fatty acids; Quit smoking, limit alcohol, and exercise moderately. The harm of staying up late cannot be ignored, and you should ensure that you get enough sleep for 7-8 hours a day and try to avoid staying up late;
Arrange work and rest time reasonably and develop good sleep habits; Avoid overexertion and relax appropriately.
Ways to regulate impatience include: learning to manage emotions and avoid large mood swings; Relax your mind through meditation, yoga, etc.; Communicate with family and friends to relieve stress.
Through these daily adjustments, we can effectively prevent cerebral infarction and maintain good health. So, if these lifestyle habits are so important for preventing cerebral infarction, why are so many people still struggling to stick to them?
First of all, many people do not have a comprehensive understanding of health knowledge and ignore the importance of these lifestyle habits. Secondly, modern life is fast-paced and stressful, and many people struggle to achieve regular work and rest and healthy eating.
In addition, the lack of a good social support system is also an important factor, and many people lack supervision and encouragement in their lives to adhere to a healthy lifestyle.
Therefore, it is important to improve the popularization rate of health knowledge among the whole people, establish a good social support system, and help people develop healthy living habits.
Through community publicity, health lectures, etc., enhance people's health awareness and help them master scientific health knowledge. Family members and friends should also care for each other, supervise each other, and maintain a healthy lifestyle together.
