The diet of patients with cerebral hemorrhage should pay attention to a reasonable diet, based on the principle of consuming foods low in fat and rich in high-quality protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and trace elements. It is important to keep the bowel movement smooth and avoid forceful bowel movement and emotional excitement to prevent re-bleeding from aggravating the condition. The dietary principles for patients with cerebral hemorrhage mainly include: (1) a light diet, reduce salt and fat intake, and eat more vegetables, as the vitamins and minerals contained in vegetables are beneficial to patients’ recovery; (2) consume low-fat foods rich in high-quality protein, such as fish, lean meat, eggs, milk, etc.; (3) diversify the dietary structure, with staple foods including coarse grains and appropriate amounts of fruits, as the dietary fiber contained in coarse grains and fruits is helpful to promote the recovery of patients. (4) The main cooking methods are steaming, boiling, stewing, making soup, etc., avoiding fried, pan-fried, spicy, cold and other indigestible foods; (5) If the patient is bedridden after cerebral hemorrhage and has weak digestive function, the food should be made into liquid or semi-liquid to facilitate digestion. In addition, since patients with cerebral hemorrhage are often accompanied by high risk factors for cerebrovascular disease such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia and hyperhomocysteinemia, these risk factors should be controlled at the same time and the corresponding antihypertensive, hypoglycemic and lipid-lowering drugs should be applied under the guidance of doctors. In addition, some proprietary Chinese medicines, such as circulation improvement and neurotropic drugs, can also play a supplementary therapeutic role. In conclusion, patients with cerebral hemorrhage should pay attention to nutritional diversification, including cereals, fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, poultry, eggs, fish, beans and soy products, milk, etc., to maintain balanced nutrition and smooth bowel movement, and pay attention to control the high-risk factors of cerebrovascular disease to prevent rebleeding.
