The patient is 47 years old. When he was preparing for bed two nights ago, he suddenly felt weak in his left body and numb in his hands and feet, but he didn't care and fell asleep. Until the next night when he was ready to go to bed, his wife found that his speech was vague and his left side was a little soft, and he was rushed to the hospital.
After examination by the hospital, the man was diagnosed as "acute massive cerebral infarction". Because the area of cerebral infarction is too large, his left side is almost paralyzed, and it is difficult to return to normal.
The patient's wife is strange. Her husband has neither hypertension nor hyperglycemia. Why did he suddenly have a cerebral infarction?
After a series of screening, the hospital found that although the patient's blood pressure and blood sugar were not high, the triglyceride reached 7.3mmol/L, which was more than four times the normal value. The doctor explained: "The concentration of triglycerides is too high, which causes the blood to become very thick, just like porridge, which will further deepen atherosclerosis. If it is not controlled in time, cerebral infarction will come uninvited. "
The doctor asked about his daily eating habits and got the answer.
It turns out that this patient usually has an unrestrained breakfast and likes to use pickles with porridge very much. Foods with high salt and fat such as fried dough sticks and oil cakes are basically eaten every day. And these foods are the "culprits" that lead to high triglycerides.
No one expected that eating breakfast is a good way of life, but this behavior has become a "fuse" to detonate a cerebral infarction. The doctor reminded that if you want to avoid a cerebral infarction, you must not touch these two foods for breakfast-
1, high-salt food
Porridge dishes seem light, but these dishes are a big hidden danger of high blood pressure risk. Pickled vegetables, pickled mustard tuber and sour beans all need a lot of salt. Excessive sodium intake will cause water and sodium retention in the body, leading to a blood pressure crisis. Once the blood pressure is not well controlled, cerebral infarction will follow.
2, high calorie, high fat food
Soymilk fritters are many people's favorite breakfast collocation. The fried dough sticks, oil cakes and other foods are "grease bombs". It is understandable to eat them for breakfast for a change once in a while. But eating these foods often will lead to the increase of blood lipids in the body, which will easily lead to blood thickening, plaque formation and eventually atherosclerosis. If not treated in time, the outcome is the occurrence of cerebral infarction.
Of course you don't want a cerebral infarction to find you. Besides avoiding two kinds of foods, you should also collect these three daily suggestions, so that you can easily help improve blood vessels without spending a lot of energy.
Drinking water is the cheapest "prescription"
A glass of water in the morning has many benefits. After a long sleep, the water in the body will be continuously lost through urine, sweat and breathing. At this time, the blood is thick, so drinking water helps to dilute the blood and prevent myocardial infarction and stroke to some extent.
Therefore, a glass of water in the morning is very important, not only to prevent thrombosis, but also to drink water after getting up in the morning, and it only takes 20 seconds for the water to enter the blood, so that the blood can be diluted quickly and the dehydration at night can be improved. In addition, drinking water can also promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and relieve constipation. Drinking water can increase blood volume, promote blood circulation and help our brain recover quickly.
2. Breakfast should be balanced in nutrition.
A study in Clinical Nutrition in Scotland mentioned that skipping breakfast has a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause death. A nutritious breakfast will not only stimulate the vitality of our day, but also effectively reduce the occurrence of related diseases. The basic condition of a good breakfast is to have staple food, protein food and fruits and vegetables.
You can choose coarse grains, low-fat and high-protein foods for breakfast, such as miscellaneous bean porridge, millet porridge, black rice porridge, whole wheat bread, sweet potato, fresh corn, boiled eggs, tea eggs, milk, yogurt and soybean milk.
Avoid greasy and delicate whole grains, such as biscuits, instant noodles, crisp bread, snacks, fried dough sticks, fried dough sticks and other foods with high fat content. Although these foods are convenient, delicious and "anti-hunger", they are not conducive to balanced nutrition and good health, and should be eaten less or not.
Exercise is the best medicine.
It is not unreasonable to say that exercise is the best medicine. Published in the English edition of Sports and Health Science, the research jointly published by experts from the School of Sports Science of Shanghai Sport University and the Department of Physical Education of Huainan Normal University found that diseases such as musculoskeletal system, metabolic system, respiratory system, urinary system and cancer can be effectively improved through exercise intervention.
For patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, it is suggested that moderate and low-intensity aerobic exercise can be carried out for a long time, such as walking, jogging and Tai Ji Chuan.
Cerebral infarction is still the first cause of death in China. You feel far away from us, but people around you may leave every day because of a cerebral infarction.
Zhang Fuchun, president of Beijing Haidian Hospital, said in an interview with Health Times: "People often have heart attacks on TV and in novels, so take quick-acting drugs or send them to a doctor. But in fact, in China, myocardial infarction is not a big deal, and the mortality rate is only about 5%, while the mortality rate in the acute stage of stroke (cerebral infarction) can reach 20% or even 30%. "
According to a clinical data published by the Department of Neurology, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, among the more than10.5 million patients with cerebrovascular diseases treated in this department every year, the average onset age is 66 years old, but 20% of the patients are under 45 years old. Clinically, young and middle-aged patients with cerebrovascular diseases are also very common.
There are still some misunderstandings about the prevention of stroke, among which "the elderly will get cerebrovascular disease, but we young people will not" is a common one. Smoking, drinking, staying up late and not exercising (obesity) are all risk factors for stroke in young age.
Zhang Fuchun reminded that people with a family history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and unhealthy lifestyles should go to the neurology department for regular physical examinations and ask doctors to help avoid the risk of stroke.
