Generally speaking, it is also recommended to avoid smoking and drinking (or drinking less) for life after cerebral infarction is cured.
1. Long-term smoking is easy to cause atherosclerosis, which leads to blood supply disorder in the brain, thus aggravating ischemia and hypoxic changes in the brain and increasing the risk of recurrent cerebral infarction; and long-term smoking is easy to lead to a decrease in cerebral blood flow, and a decrease in prostacyclin is also easy to lead to vasoconstriction and platelet aggregation, which leads to thrombotic events.
2. Patients with cerebral infarction should limit the consumption of alcohol, and it is recommended that the amount of alcohol consumed in one day should not be more than 15g for women and 25g for men after recovery. drinking alcohol in patients with cerebral infarction will easily lead to atherosclerosis (one of the risk factors for cerebral infarction), which will increase the risk of recurrent cerebral infarction, and drinking alcohol will also damage the cerebral nerves and peripheral nerves, which is not conducive to the subsequent recovery of cerebral infarction.
Therefore, it is recommended that patients avoid alcohol and tobacco as much as possible, and actively control blood pressure and blood sugar.
