Stroke prevention starts with daily life

  Stroke patients are suffering, and their families are suffering even more! In fact, stroke can be prevented by paying attention to the risk factors for stroke in everyday life and minimizing various risk factors as much as possible. Now, stroke prevention starts with blood pressure control.  Patients with hypertension should take antihypertensive drugs on time as prescribed by their doctors, and those who are in a position to do so should preferably have their blood pressure measured once a day, especially during the phase of adjusting antihypertensive drugs to keep it stable. To maintain emotional stability, do less or do not do things that can easily cause emotional excitement, such as playing cards, mahjong, watching sports broadcasts, etc.; diet must be light and moderate, quit smoking and alcohol, keep bowel movements smooth; moderate activity, such as walking, playing tai chi, etc. Establish healthy eating habits, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, eat less fatty foods such as fatty meat and animal offal; exercise moderately to increase calorie consumption; take lipid-lowering drugs.  Pay attention to the aura of stroke such as numbness and weakness of hands and feet, and take measures to control them as soon as possible after detection. Aura signs: some patients often have elevated and fluctuating blood pressure, headache and dizziness, and effective control of transient ischemic attack before stroke attack: when patients have aura of transient ischemic attack, they should be allowed to rest quietly and treated actively to prevent its development into cerebral thrombosis.  Pay attention to the influence of meteorological factors: seasons and climate change can make hypertensive patients emotionally unstable and their blood pressure fluctuate, inducing strokes, and it is more important to guard against strokes at such times.  Eat more fruits and vegetables, less likely to get a stroke. Why do vegetables and fruits reduce the risk of stroke? First, because they contain a lot of vitamin C. According to research, the level of vitamin C concentration in the blood is closely related to stroke, and the higher the concentration, the lower the risk of stroke. In addition, vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that can scavenge free radicals in the body. And an increase in free radicals increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Secondly, vegetables and fruits are rich in dietary fiber, which can play a role in inhibiting the increase of total cholesterol concentration, thus preventing atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease and stroke. A study in the United States showed that the daily intake of a certain amount of soluble dietary fiber from vegetables and fruits can reduce the cholesterol level in the blood by 3% to 5%. Based on this understanding, the nationals of developed countries quickly adjust the dietary structure, eating less meat, sugar, fat, and more fruits and vegetables. Therefore, in recent years, in Europe and the United States and other countries, the mortality rate of cardiovascular disease has been on a downward trend.  In short, to develop good habits, a healthy attitude to life is less likely to attract stroke. Stay away from stroke and be healthy all the way with everyone!
