What to do when your brain's blood supply is low? Remember three points, so that your brain "full of blood"
What is Cerebral Blood Supply Insufficiency Have you noticed that many people, especially the middle-aged and the elderly, often suffer from recurrent symptoms of dizziness, lightheadedness and headache, as well as heartburn, ringing in the ears, irritability, insomnia and dreaminess, memory loss, lack of concentration, and forgetfulness (e.g., they can't remember anything that has happened recently)? The international medical community calls chronic cerebral hypoperfusion insufficiency (CCCI), a disease in which the brain suffers from chronic and extensive blood supply deficiency due to a variety of reasons, which triggers cerebral ischemia and hypoxia and results in a series of cerebral dysfunctions and clinical manifestations. CCCI was first proposed by a Japanese medical doctor in 1990, and its incidence rate is very high. According to statistics, 2/3 of the middle-aged and elderly people suffer from chronic cerebral blood supply insufficiency, which is a common disease among middle-aged and elderly people. Medical doctors at home and abroad have also found, after a lot of research, that chronic insufficient cerebral blood supply has existed for a long time before the onset of Alzheimer's disease and cerebral infarction. If chronic hyponatremia is not treated in time, it may cause Alzheimer's disease and cerebral infarction. Therefore, chronic insufficient blood supply to the brain is called a threat to the health of middle-aged and elderly people "invisible killer". Why middle-aged and old people are the main population of cerebral blood supply insufficiency It can be said that cerebral blood supply insufficiency is one of the common and frequent diseases of the middle-aged and old people, generally at the age of 45, especially the most common in people over 60 years old. The reason for this is that the blood flow in the human brain gradually decreases with age. Cerebral blood flow is about 100 ml (100 ml/100 g of brain tissue) in childhood, 50 ml (ditto) in adults, and only 35 ml (ditto) in the healthy elderly. If he/she suffers from the "three highs" (hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia) it will also be accompanied by increased blood viscosity, accelerated cerebral vascular sclerosis, stenosis, increased resistance to cerebral blood flow, and an even greater reduction in cerebral blood flow; in addition, cervical spondylosis and cervical soft tissue pathology (e.g., myofascial inflammation) are also one of the common factors that cause insufficient cerebral blood supply. Most elderly people have a history of cerebral ischemia for several months or even years, which is chronic cerebral insufficiency. However, this ratio of blood flow between the elderly and adults is only a statistical concept, and since the blood supply function of the cerebrovascular system has full potential for negotiation, the "ratio" is by no means an ironclad rule for synchronizing memory and thinking with old age. In addition to the middle-aged and elderly population, fat people should be especially careful of insufficient cerebral blood supply in summer. Summer heat, high temperature and dryness, is the high incidence of many diseases, but also the most difficult season for fat people. Fat people in the summer to pay special attention to reduce the degree of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular cyclic ischemia. Because fat people's blood vessel wall deposits a lot of fat, the blood also has a large number of lipid plaques, easy to form atherosclerosis, exacerbate blood vessel blockage, affecting the body's blood circulation speed, slow down the metabolism, increase the burden on the heart, so that the cardiovascular and cerebral vascular oxygen supply ability to decline. Symptoms and determination of cerebral blood supply insufficiency 1.Age. Mostly middle-aged and old, the average age of 45 years old, older than middle-aged more common. 2. Cerebral symptoms. Dizziness, sometimes transient vertigo (transient ischemic attack), heavy head, pain; memory loss, slow reaction, or tinnitus, etc., serious fashion with unsteady gait. 3. Eye symptoms. Eye swelling and pain, lazy eyes, foggy vision (blurred vision). 4. Ear symptoms. Tinnitus, ear "shut-in" and/or hearing loss. 5. balance disorders. Not obvious in the early stages, often with unsteady gait, slow walking, and poor demeanor in the middle and late stages. 6. Poor sleep. Most of them have difficulty in falling asleep, dreaming and waking up early, and are tired and weak during the day, while a few of them are sleepy instead. If there are obvious cerebral symptoms and "three highs", arteriosclerosis of the fundus of the eye, and sometimes vascular murmur of the cerebral perfusion artery can be smelled, then it can be judged as insufficient cerebral blood supply. Is cerebral blood supply insufficiency preventable and reversible? It is safe to say that cerebral hypoperfusion can be prevented and reversed. As mentioned above, the score of cerebral blood flow between healthy elderly and adults is not an iron law that synchronizes memory and thinking with aging. Memory, thinking and people's living habits, working environment and many other factors are different and have different, in general, good living habits, hard work and learning, cheerful and open-minded character, the brain and its blood vessels are in a state of prosperity, thus expanding and increasing the cerebral blood supply, cerebral blood supply insufficiency can be avoided or delayed. In fact, as long as daily life pay attention to protection, away from the factors that harm it - drinking, smoking, staying up late, etc., it may be more long-term to maintain the health of vitality, even if it has been the oldest old, still clear memory, quick thinking, indicating that the old people do not necessarily have cerebral blood supply insufficiency; and life is infected with vices, suffering from the "three highs", "three highs", "three highs" and "three highs". On the other hand, middle-aged people with bad habits in life and suffering from "three highs" are mostly prematurely accompanied by brain symptoms of insufficient blood supply to the brain such as forgetfulness and slow reaction. If the latter can be detected and treated early, many of the brain symptoms of insufficient blood supply to the brain can be reversed. Good dietary habits are the most effective way of prevention From the dietary point of view, people with cerebrovascular insufficiency should eat as light as possible. First of all, if the diet can not be changed immediately, then at least eat a lighter dinner, not too full, not too late dinner, so that the blood viscosity is not too high at night when you go to bed. Secondly, if you have a hobby of drinking alcohol, it is best to moderate some. Once again, eat less food with high sugar content or high oil and sugar content. Eat less meat dishes, high saturated fat content of fat meat, animal offal should be controlled. Finally, try to eat more vegetables, coarse grains, frying less oil. Eat more kelp, black fungus, celery and other vegetarian dishes that have the effect of "blood vessel scavenger". In addition, the diet should also take more food with therapeutic effects: eat more garlic, can relieve the symptoms of insufficient blood supply to the brain. Eat once a day Pueraria lobata soup or Pueraria lobata porridge, grind Pueraria lobata and dry it, take 50 grams of dry powder in the morning every day, cook it into a soup for consumption, or cook it into a porridge for consumption. Eat more foods rich in folic acid, such as vegetables and soybeans. Also eat more bananas, because it is rich in potassium, with anti-atherosclerosis, lower blood pressure, protect the heart. Reasonable exercise to follow Every day, appropriate outdoor activities, such as brisk walking, jogging, walking, etc., 30 to 40 minutes each time, at least five days a week, or playing tai chi, fishing, hiking and so on. Moderate exercise is not only the best way to prevent obesity, but also can reduce the amount of fat accumulation, so that pathogenic lipids lower. In addition, patients with insufficient cerebral blood supply due to cervical spondylosis cannot be completely insulated from exercise. Reasonable exercise, including Chinese medicine in the guiding technique (five birds play, eight brocade), etc., have the effect of improving cervical spondylosis, and the action is gentle, very safe, can be said to be two birds with one stone. Early to bed and early to rise, peace of mind is very important Summer heart fire, it is recommended that middle-aged and elderly people to think less about things, reduce the thought, so as not to heart fire gas, induced by heart and brain diseases. Elderly people can participate in some cultural and sports activities, such as singing, dancing, calligraphy, playing ball games, etc., to cultivate temperament, enhance the brain's thinking activities; avoid emotional excitement and excessive fatigue. There is also a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early, and it is best to drink a glass of boiled water before going to bed. Can aspirin treat insufficient blood supply to the brain? Antiplatelet drugs mainly include aspirin, ticlopidine, clopidogrel and so on, among which aspirin is used in clinical treatment of acute ischemic stroke in more studies. Clinically aspirin can be used to prevent temporary cerebral ischemic attack, myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, artificial heart valves, arteriovenous fistula or other post-surgical thrombosis, and has a certain therapeutic effect on cerebral blood supply deficiency. However, taking aspirin must follow the doctor's instructions, according to the patient's condition, do not take the drug on your own. Here it is recommended that patients with cerebral insufficiency of blood supply still need to strengthen physical exercise. Regular exercise can enhance the body's immunity, strengthen the cardiopulmonary function, increase the blood supply to the brain, which can break through the minor thrombus block, relieve the symptoms of insufficient blood supply to the brain. Summarize: prevent "three highs", exercise diligently, light diet In short, cerebral blood flow alone, middle-aged and elderly people than teenagers is significantly lower, but the brain and its blood-supplying vessels and other organs, as well as a strong potential and compensatory force. To care for and protect it in daily life, avoid all the risk factors that harm it, such as preventing "three highs", staying away from obesity, strengthening exercise and light diet, it will diligently serve you for life, and will not have insufficient cerebral blood supply. Even if early symptoms appear, they can be reversed if treated early.
