Cerebral thrombosis not only affects the physical and mental health of patients, but in severe cases even leads to paralysis. For the sake of your family, please take a closer look.
Beware of cerebral thrombosis in summer
Cerebral thrombosis, also known as ischemic stroke, has a higher incidence in middle-aged and elderly people. Medical statistics at home and abroad show that the death rate of cerebral thrombosis accounts for the first place of almost all diseases, and some people call it the “first killer” that endangers health.
Clinical medical experiments prove that 80% of the cases of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are caused by the formation of thrombus in blood vessels.
In the hot summer, the number of cerebral thrombosis patients in hospitals is also increasing, why?
The high temperature in summer makes our blood vessels dilate easily, and the elderly with low blood pressure will make blood pressure lower further; if hypertensive patients lower their blood pressure too fast (especially taking antihypertensive drugs before going to bed), all of them will have cerebral thrombosis and ischemic stroke due to lower blood pressure and slow blood flow. Therefore, it is important to improve the awareness of cerebral thrombosis in summer and enhance the ability of self-prediction for disease prevention.
The precursors of cerebral thrombosis, must be beware!
1.Yawning constantly
80% of people suffering from ischemic cerebral thrombosis will have yawning continuously 5 to 10 days before the onset of the disease.
2.Abnormal blood pressure
When blood pressure suddenly and continuously rises above 200/120mmHg, it is the precursor of cerebral thrombosis; when blood pressure suddenly drops below 80/50mmHg, it is the precursor of forming cerebral thrombosis.
3.Nose bleeding in hypertensive patients
This is a danger signal worthy of attention. Several times of massive nosebleeds, together with bleeding from the fundus of the eyes and hematuria, this kind of people may have cerebral thrombosis within six months.
4. Abnormal gait
Stumbling gait and weakness of walking legs is one of the precursor symptoms of hemiplegia. If the gait of the elderly suddenly changes and is accompanied by numbness and weakness of the limbs, it is a precursor sign of cerebral thrombosis.
5.Sudden onset of vertigo
Dizziness is an extremely common symptom among the precursors of cerebral thrombosis, which can occur at any time before cerebrovascular disease, especially in the early morning when waking up.
In addition, it also occurs easily after fatigue or bathing. Especially for hypertensive patients, if vertigo occurs repeatedly more than 5 times in 1 to 2 days, the risk of cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction increases.
6.Sudden onset of severe headache
(1) Any sudden onset of severe headache; accompanied by convulsive seizures; recent history of head trauma.
(2) With coma and drowsiness; sudden changes in the nature, location and distribution of the headache.
(3) Headache aggravated by coughing and exertion; pain so severe that you may wake up in the night with pain.
If any of the above conditions occur in your family, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment as early as possible.
Remember these 3 points in summer, can prevent more than 90% of the “embolism”
1.Stable pressure is the most important
We know that the high incidence of cerebral thrombosis in summer is caused by unstable blood pressure, so pressure stabilization in summer is the key to prevention.
Corn, the perfect way to stabilize blood pressure and blood vessels. Corn is rich in fat, and its fat content of unsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid, is up to 60% or more. It contributes to the normal metabolism of fats and cholesterol in the body and can reduce the deposition of cholesterol in the blood vessels, thus softening the arterial vessels.
Eating method: vinegar soaked corn
Ingredients: 500 grams of corn, 2 pounds of vinegar (aged vinegar is more suitable for this recipe than white vinegar).
Method
(1) Wash and boil the corn, strain it and set it aside; prepare a clean jar that can be sealed, ceramic or glass is the best.
(2) Put the cooked corn into the glass vessel, pour in the vinegar and soak it for 24 hours.
(3) Take out the soaked corn and dry it in a shady place.
(4) Chew 20 to 30 capsules each morning and evening daily.
This recipe does have an auxiliary effect of lowering blood pressure, where the main thing that works is corn. Corn is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid content of up to 60% or more, it and the corn germ in the vitamin E synergistic effect, can reduce blood cholesterol concentration and prevent its deposition in the blood vessel wall.
The role of vinegar is mainly to lower blood lipids, but recent studies have shown that vinegar is also quite beneficial for people with high blood pressure.
Reminder: the effect is better with fresh corn soaked out, the elderly stomach is easy to acid reflux, you can wash the corn with water before eating, dilute the acidity, so that it will be more comfortable to eat.
2, timely hydration, reduce blood viscosity
Another important reason for cerebral thrombosis in summer is that people sweat a lot and drink less water. If not replenished in time, it will easily cause “dehydration”; “dehydration” will reduce the blood volume, thicken the blood, slow down the blood circulation, and make the tiny thrombus easy to form, so the probability of cerebral thrombosis will naturally increase. This will increase the probability of cerebral thrombosis.
The elderly must be hydrated in time in summer, drink more water even if they are not thirsty, and take appropriate salt (salt intake should not exceed 5 grams per person per day). Drink a little water when waking up in the middle of the night to reduce blood viscosity, which is good for preventing thrombosis. Air conditioning temperature control at 27 to 28 degrees Celsius, pay attention not to blow directly, while regularly open the windows to keep the indoor air fresh.
3, eat more cardiovascular protection food
(1) Kelp: prevent blood clots
Kelp is rich in rock algae polysaccharides, kombucha, these substances are similar to the activity of heparin, both to prevent blood clots and lower cholesterol, lipoproteins, inhibit the role of atherosclerosis.
(2) tomatoes: protect the elasticity of blood vessels
Not only is the content of various vitamins 2 to 4 times higher than that of apples and pears, but also contains vitamin – rutin, which can improve the body’s oxidative capacity, eliminate free radicals and other body waste, protect the elasticity of blood vessels, and have the effect of preventing thrombosis.
(3) Apples: Prevention of atherosclerosis
Apples are rich in multi-candy acids and flavonoids, potassium and vitamins E and C and other nutrients, which can make the accumulation of fat in the body decomposition, and have a significant effect on the postponement and prevention of atherosclerosis attacks.
(4) Tea: softening arterial blood vessels
Contains tea polyphenols, which can improve the body’s antioxidant capacity, reduce blood lipids, relieve blood hypercoagulability, enhance red blood cell elasticity, and relieve or delay atherosclerosis. Regular tea consumption can soften the arteries.
Summer is the high season of many cardiovascular diseases, middle-aged and elderly friends must be alert to cerebral thrombosis, but as long as you pay attention to observe the changes in the body, and do the above three points, thrombosis will certainly go around, these methods are worth collecting!
