First, stroke is not an “exclusive disease” of the elderly, it can occur at any age, and the risk of stroke in middle-aged people is also very high; second, before the stroke, many people already have subclinical lesions, if someone has high blood pressure, once the lesion occurs, a stroke will occur, it is easy to hemiplegia, aphasia; third, every recurrence of stroke means a step towards death Third, every recurrence of stroke is a step closer to death. Internationally, we have been talking about “non-disabling high-risk ischemic cerebrovascular events” (meaning that a cerebrovascular event has occurred, but the symptoms are mild and did not cause disability), and this particular group is a high-risk group for disability and death from stroke. However, many people in outpatient clinics do not pay attention to this, stop taking their medication when they feel better, and stop going to the hospital, and by the time a major stroke comes, they have lost the most valuable time for treatment. One study found that the risk of major stroke can be reduced by 1/3 with standard treatment. Long-term adherence to aspirin can also reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events by 32%, and enteric preparations are best taken before meals. In addition, cardiac factors such as poor congenital heart and having heart disease are also important risk factors for stroke, and it causes about 20% of strokes. Those with heart problems should be treated actively. In addition, people with high blood pressure can also have strokes if they are in a depressed mood for a long time. Anxiety, depression, and bad moods are not helped by many medicines. Therefore, those who have stroke and other diseases must be treated promptly. In terms of behavioral factors that we can adjust, in addition to maintaining a good mood, timely smoking cessation, moderate exercise, and healthy diet are very critical. We often say that we should exercise more, but what kind of exercise is the most beneficial for stroke prevention? Is there a scientific basis for the amount of exercise? The study followed 20,000 women for 11 years and came to these three conclusions: 1. brisk walking can prevent stroke and is related to frequency, intensity and time; 2. When the amount of exercise exceeds your tolerance, it will increase the risk of brain hemorrhage. Therefore, exercise must be moderate. Brisk walking and jogging are the best exercises for the elderly. So, how can I eat to prevent strokes? A study has shown that the Mediterranean diet has a preventive effect on stroke, and this has been included in the US guidelines, rather than a simple low-fat diet. The Mediterranean diet emphasizes the importance of eating more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, including everyday low-fat products, poultry, fish, legumes, olive oil and nuts, and limiting sweets and red meat. Finally, stroke prevention must be comprehensive. It is not reliable to take a certain drug or do a certain thing alone.
