There is no specific dietary treatment for cerebral infarction. The principle of daily diet is low-salt and low-fat diet, and diabetic patients should also avoid eating foods containing much sugar or starch. Cerebral infarction is mainly characterized by one side of the hand and foot movement, numbness or slurred speech and other symptoms.
Patients with cerebral infarction should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, fish and beef, and avoid eating animal offal and fatty meat. Because high salt diet will lead to increased risk of hypertension, high fat diet will accelerate atherosclerosis. And high blood pressure, high blood fat or diabetes will increase the risk of cerebral infarction.
There are many clinical manifestations of cerebral infarction, such as: inflexible movement of one side of the limbs, or even complete paralysis; numbness and pain in the hands and feet on the opposite side of the lesion; unclear speech, choking and coughing on drinking water; and there may also be changes in emotional and behavioral styles, or even dementia and coma.
