What to eat for stroke patients, dietary precautions for patients

We will find that more and more people around us are suffering from stroke. Stroke is very harmful to the body and has a high mortality rate. The most important thing is that the movements of many patients will be affected. Stroke patients should understand some dietary taboos and do a good job of daily care.

1. Dietary precautions for stroke patients

1. Eat more vegetables and fruits. Because vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, etc. Vitamin C can regulate the metabolism of cholesterol, prevent the development of arteriosclerosis, and enhance the density of blood vessels.

2. There should be appropriate protein in the diet. Various soy products, including animal protein (such as egg white, lean pork, beef, mutton, fish, chicken, etc.) and plant protein (such as tofu, soy milk, bean sprouts), can lower cholesterol; when drinking milk, it is best to remove the milk skin (skim milk).

3. In order to prevent stroke, the elderly should eat garlic, ginger, onion, vinegar, and lactic acid bacteria drinks every day to inhibit harmful intestinal bacteria; drink water in time to replenish fluids, and drink green tea, honey, milk, soy milk, low-sugar natural fruit and vegetable juice, and bone mushroom soup in moderation.

4. Control fat intake: eat less fried, pan-fried or crispy foods, as well as pig skin, chicken skin, duck skin, fish skin, etc. When cooking, it is better to use steaming, boiling, cold dressing, roasting, roasting, stewing, and braising methods.

5. Eat less foods with high cholesterol content: such as offal (brain, liver, kidney, etc.), fatty meat, crab roe, shrimp eggs, fish eggs, etc. For people with high blood cholesterol, the principle is to consume no more than three egg yolks per week.

6. Control salt intake: Excessive salt intake will cause water retention in the body and cause blood pressure to rise. It is advisable to eat more fresh natural foods, and try to eat less salty artificial or processed foods such as pickled foods, cured foods, and heavily seasoned canned foods.

7. Drink less caffeinated beverages: Coffee and tea are caffeinated beverages and should be consumed in moderation. When drinking, avoid adding creamer and use less sugar.

8. Reduce the intake of foods high in purine: Reduce the intake of foods high in purine, such as animal offal, beans, asparagus, etc., to avoid high uric acid levels. Drinking more water can also reduce the concentration of uric acid.

9. It is advisable to choose cooking oil with high monounsaturated fatty acids, such as peanut oil, rapeseed oil, olive oil, etc.

2. Stroke Care

1. The patient should lie on his back without a pillow or by slightly raising the head and shoulders so that the lower jaw is slightly raised. Unbutton your collar, tie, belt, bra, and remove any dentures you have.

2. Tilt your head to one side to prevent phlegm or vomit from flowing back into the trachea and causing suffocation.

3. If the patient is conscious, pay attention to comforting the patient and relieving his tension.

4. For unconscious patients, if the doctor cannot arrive for the time being, take ice cubes out of the refrigerator, put them in a plastic bag, and carefully place them on the patient's head.

5. If the patient snores obviously, it indicates that his airway is blocked by the fallen tongue root. At this time, the patient's lower jaw should be lifted so that the patient's head is tilted back. At the same time, use a towel to wipe away the patient's vomit at any time.
