In China, cerebrovascular disease has also become a major disease that endangers the health and lives of middle-aged and elderly people, and death from cerebrovascular disease has risen to the first and second place for urban residents, and to the second place for rural areas. About 2 million new strokes occur each year nationwide. About 1.5 million people die from cerebrovascular disease each year. Stroke is also a major cause of disability, and its rehabilitation has increasingly become a heavy financial burden. The prevention of cerebrovascular disease in the community in the middle-aged and elderly has a long way to go. 1. Control your blood pressure: Have your blood pressure measured at least once or twice a year. If your high pressure (systolic) is consistently greater than 135 mmHg or your low pressure (diastolic) is consistently greater than 85 mmHg, see a doctor. If your doctor confirms that you have high blood pressure, it is recommended that you change your poor diet, exercise appropriately and use medication. Once you and your doctor have found the right medication for you, there are few side effects and it will not affect your quality of life. In addition, there are people whose blood pressure rises in old age. This is called senile hypertension, which is characterized by high systolic blood pressure and low or normal diastolic blood pressure, resulting in increased pulse pressure. Blood pressure is prone to fluctuations, which can easily cause upright hypotension. The treatment of this type of hypertension is based on diet, exercise, and psychiatric treatment, supplemented by drug therapy. In the drug treatment should pay attention to the choice of antihypertensive drugs, not to make the blood pressure fall too fast or too lower than the level of blood pressure before the disease, which will appear the symptoms of insufficient blood supply to the brain, may also lead to the occurrence of ischemic strokes. In addition, attention should be given to the elderly hypertensive patients for comprehensive treatment, that is, a combination of anti-platelet drugs and lipid-lowering drugs. 2. Know whether you have atrial fibrillation: If you have atrial fibrillation, to reduce the risk of stroke, your doctor will usually ask you to take some oral medications such as warfarin or aspirin. 3. Know if you have high cholesterol: Reducing elevated cholesterol will also reduce the risk of stroke. High cholesterol can be controlled by diet and exercise, and some people need medication. 4. If you have diabetes, controlling your blood sugar is key: Diabetes can be controlled if you pay careful attention to what you eat and drink. Work with your doctor to develop a lifestyle and nutrition plan that works for you, along with taking some medications to help you control your blood sugar. 5. Keep up a regular schedule of physical activity that you enjoy: walking briskly for at least 30 minutes a day can improve your health in many ways and can also reduce strokes. Or choose other sports that fit your lifestyle such as cycling, golf, swimming, dancing, ping pong, etc. Keep an aerobic activity every day. 6. Enjoy a low salt and low fat diet: By reducing the intake of salt and fat in your diet, you can lower your blood pressure and, more importantly, reduce the risk of stroke. Maintain a balanced diet with adequate fruits, vegetables, cereals and moderate amounts of protein every day. 7, keep a good mind and happy mood: sadness and great joy are important precipitating factors for the onset of stroke, you should face life with a smile and really maintain emotional stability. 8, pay attention to the signs of stroke: if you have any stroke symptoms, such as distorted mouth, numbness or weakness of one limb, unfavorable speech, choking on water, double vision, etc., please seek medical attention immediately. 9. Control related diseases: Hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia are important risk factors for atherosclerosis, so controlling these risk factors is a key factor for stroke prevention. Regular medical checkups can detect early and effectively control or slow down the occurrence of strokes. 10, winter prevention of cerebrovascular disease: (1) do not gluttony: the elderly should pay attention to a reasonable mix of winter supplements, in addition to additional meat food on the table, daily fruit and vegetables can not be less. (2) Drink more water: reduce blood viscosity to increase water intake, especially should not excessively control the amount of water intake before bedtime. Studies have shown that cerebral infarction is most likely to occur at dawn and just after waking up, because at this time the blood viscosity is large, easy to form clots blocking blood vessels. (3) Wear warm: In winter, the elderly should not only add or remove clothing according to the temperature changes in time to avoid getting cold, but also pay more attention to keeping warm when getting up at night. (4) Diligent activity: In winter, the elderly choose indoor activities, and the amount of exercise is obviously reduced. In addition, the appetite often increases in winter, and over-eating. In winter, the elderly should still adhere to outdoor exercise. It can help to consume extra calories and also enhance communication with others and adjust the mentality through rich cultural and sports activities. (5) Mutual observation: People with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease, diabetes, atrial fibrillation and other diseases belong to the high-risk group for stroke. In addition to observing the symptoms of the original disease, patients and family members should also pay attention to those new symptoms. When recurrent vertigo, tinnitus, deafness, unsteady gait, slurred speech or numbness of one limb suddenly appear, it indicates the precursor of thrombosis or thrombosis has already formed, so you should seek medical attention in time to avoid missing the best time for treatment.
