What should stroke patients not eat? The essence of this question is what to avoid in the diet of stroke patients. In general, we should pay attention to the following four aspects of contraindication. One, to avoid fat, sweet and thick taste. The fatty and sweet taste is one of the high risk factors for stroke. Therefore, after the stroke patient is sick, especially pay attention to a light diet, high vitamin, high fiber, high calcium, low fat, low cholesterol diet, total fat less than 25% of total calories, saturated fat less than 10%, protein accounted for more than 15% of total calories, animal protein accounted for 20% of total protein. Otherwise, fatty and sweet food into the stomach, will be absorbed into the blood, resulting in blood stagnation, affecting the normal circulation of blood, may aggravate the stroke condition. Second, to abstain from drinking alcohol. Alcohol, both as a risk factor for stroke, and can reduce the responsiveness of patients to stroke treatment drugs. Therefore, stroke patients should be instructed that alcohol must be prohibited during the illness, especially high alcohol. Third, the intake of high sodium salt should be forbidden. Hypertension is a risk factor for stroke, and excessive sodium intake is an important causative factor for hypertension. Clinical trials have shown that: the daily sodium intake of hypertensive patients from the original 10.5 grams to 4.7-5.8 grams, can reduce the average systolic pressure of 4-6 mm Hg. Therefore, during the treatment of stroke, the average intake of sodium salt for stroke patients should be less than 5 grams per day. Fourth, the intake of warm and dry food should be avoided. The so-called warm and dry food, refers to the warm nature of the food, warm tonic, such as mutton, dog meat, venison, deer antler wine, three whip wine. The vast majority of stroke patients are Yin deficiency and Yang hyperactivity, these foods have a warming effect on Yang, can make the wind and Yang more hyperactivity and is not conducive to treatment, so also in the list of contraindications.
