How to prevent and treat cerebral infarction more effectively?

We must pay more attention to the prevention of cerebral infarction, because this disease can actually directly threaten life and health, so we must understand the correct prevention methods and avoid various risk factors. Especially after middle age, the chance of this disease will increase, and patients with hypertension are more likely to cause cerebral infarction.

1. Avoid dangerous factors

There are many risk factors for cerebral infarction, some of which cannot be intervened. For example, age: after middle age, the risk of cerebral infarction increases year by year. Also, gender: men are more likely to develop the disease than women. The occurrence of cerebral infarction may also be related to genetics, but family members of cerebral infarction patients can still achieve prevention goals through appropriate measures.

Hypertension is the most common and important risk factor closely related to cerebral infarction. 60% of patients with cerebral infarction have a clear history of hypertension. Poorly controlled diabetes can aggravate atherosclerosis. The risk of cerebral infarction in diabetic patients is two to three times that of ordinary people. Carotid artery stenosis is a potential risk factor, which can easily cause cerebral infarction when hypotension occurs. The more you smoke, the greater the chance of cerebral infarction. The chance of cerebral infarction in smokers is 6 times that of non-smokers. Abnormal blood lipids and long-term heavy drinking can also cause atherosclerosis.

2. Develop good living habits

High-risk groups should develop good living habits, adhere to standardized systematic treatment, eat a light and easily digestible diet, and eat more deep-sea fish and high-fiber foods. According to research by medical experts, allicin in garlic can inhibit coagulation factors and help prevent and treat cerebrovascular diseases. When allicin is combined with lipids, it will produce the same effect as vitamin E, with the functions of anti-oxidation and promoting blood circulation. Animal experiments have shown that certain Chinese medicines have the function of lowering blood pressure and blood sugar, and can also prevent and treat arteriosclerosis.

3. Eat right

Foods rich in fiber can lower cholesterol, such as oat bran, celery, etc. You should also strengthen exercise, develop exercise habits and persevere in order to maintain an ideal weight and reduce the incidence of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity. Studies have shown that exercise can increase your lifespan. Only exercise and a cheerful mood can keep you away from diseases.
