As the weather gets colder, the elderly should pay special attention to preventing strokes. Stroke, the name of Chinese medicine, there is the difference between the external wind and the internal wind, the external wind caused by the feeling of evil (wind evil), in the "Treatise on the cold" name of acupuncture (also known as Guizhi decoction); internal wind is internal injuries Certificate, also known as stroke, stroke and so on. In modern times, it is generally referred to as a stroke, which refers to a type of stroke that causes a syndrome of internal injuries. It is often caused by a chaotic reversal of qi and blood, a blockage of brain blood flow, or blood in the brain. Suffering from sudden fainting, hemiplegia, limb numbness, lingering tongue, skewed tongue, and partial numbness are the main manifestations of brain disease. It also has diseases that are characterized by rapid onset of illness, rapid changes, and changes in the number of people affected by the disease. Here is a description of stroke (stroke).

Stroke and coronary heart disease and cancer are listed as one of the three diseases that threaten human health. Early prevention is important for the elderly. What does the old man eat to prevent stroke? The following 13 kinds of foods help the elderly to stay away from the threat of stroke!

What does the old man eat to prevent stroke?

Stroke is the collective name of Chinese medicine for acute cerebrovascular diseases, with high incidence, high mortality, high disability rate, high recurrence rate, and many complications. Autumn and winter each year is the peak of stroke, and strokes often occur within 72 hours of sudden drop in temperature. Therefore, middle-aged and older people, especially those who usually suffer from high blood pressure, obesity, and smoking habits, should promptly prevent colds and take medications to prevent stroke.

Researchers at Harvard University in the United States have found that people who eat more fresh vegetables and fruits each day are less likely to suffer stroke than those who eat only a small amount of fruits and vegetables. Studies have shown that eating more foods rich in thiamine, lysine, tyrosine, and taurine (such as fish, chicken, duck, rabbit, pigeon, etc.) not only maintains normal blood vessel elasticity, but also improves cerebral blood flow. The flow is beneficial, but it also promotes the excretion of sodium salts and helps prevent the occurrence of stroke. The following 13 kinds of foods help the elderly prevent strokes!

1. Banana

Medical research shows that if you eat about 100 grams of a banana a day, you will greatly reduce the risk of stroke, because bananas are rich in potassium. Potassium plays an important role in the transmission of nerve impulses, the absorption of nutrients in cells, and the discharge of waste.

2. Citrus

The researchers found that the total intake of flavonoids was not linked to the occurrence of stroke, whereas those who consumed a large amount of flavanone had a 19% lower risk of stroke than those who consumed the least amount. And 95% of flavanones come from citrus fruits. A study shows that women often eat citrus fruits such as oranges and grapefruit, and they are 19% less likely to suffer from ischemic stroke than those who rarely eat them.

3, coffee

The new study showed that the participants who drank 2 cups of coffee per day had a 14% reduction in the risk of embolism (stroke) in the brain. For those who drank 3 to 4 cups of coffee a day, the risk of stroke could be reduced by 17%. However, if the daily intake of coffee is greater, it will be impossible to continue to use coffee to prevent stroke. For caffeine addicts who drink more than 6 cups of coffee a day, the risk of stroke is only reduced by 7%.

4, celery

Celery is traditionally used as a complementary dish in Europe and the United States as a dining table, but its nutritional value cannot be ignored. When there is too much homocysteine ​​in the human body, it will threaten blood vessel health, and the folic acid contained in celery can turn it into harmless molecules, so eating more celery can prevent cardiovascular diseases such as stroke.

5, spinach

Spinach is rich in folic acid, and the folic acid content per 100 grams of spinach is as high as 347 micrograms, ranking first among vegetables. Folic acid is a B vitamin and it is a basic raw material for human hematopoiesis. In the absence of folic acid, the most obvious is the reduction of red blood cell production, leading to macrophage anemia, which is more common in elderly patients. Spinach also contains iron, folic acid and iron can promote the synthesis of red blood cells, increase blood oxygen, and thus accelerate blood circulation. From this perspective, eating spinach can reduce the risk of stroke.

6, grapefruit

Rich in nutrients, containing sugars, organic acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, C, P and calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium and other nutrients. Grapefruit also contains biologically active substances such as skin glycosides and insulin-like, grapefruit meat contains very rich in vitamin C, so grapefruit meat can reduce blood fat, reduce blood viscosity, reduce thrombosis, have prevention and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases and other effects.

7, olive oil

The survey found that the incidence of stroke in elderly people who consumed olive oil was 1.5%, and those who did not consume olive oil had a 2.6% chance of suffering a stroke. If the person who regularly eats olive oil is compared with those who never consume olive oil, the former is at a 41% lower risk of suffering from stroke. Olive oil is rich in unsaturated fats. When people choose olive oil, they will reduce the consumption of other edible oils with higher saturated fat content. A number of medical studies have shown that saturated fat is associated with cardiovascular disease and stroke.

8, sweet potato

Sweet potato is absolutely the king of "high potassium and low sodium". The United States "Prevention" magazine article pointed out that studies have found that sweet potatoes and other potassium-rich foods can reduce the risk of stroke by 20%.

9, pepper

According to the survey, the incidence of stroke in spicy areas is significantly lower, because the pepper can promote the body's metabolism, capsaicin can also increase the diastolic function of blood vessels, but also reduce the incidence of spontaneous hypertension. However, although chili has many benefits, it can't be eaten any more, because it's easy to burn the gastrointestinal mucous membranes if you eat too much chili.

10, potatoes

Potato can be used as a staple food, but also as a vegetable, containing 308 milligrams of potassium and 40 milligrams of vitamin C per 100 grams of potatoes. According to traditional Chinese medicine, potatoes have the effect of maintaining stomach, invigorating spleen, dampness, reducing blood sugar, reducing fat, and relaxing bowel. When eating potatoes for about 50 grams once a day, the chance of stroke can be reduced by 32%. People who lack potassium in their bodies tend to be nervous and increase the incidence of stroke.

11. Tomato

Tomatoes are the anti-thrombotic “masters” of many natural foods, because the yellow gelatinous substances around tomato seeds can prevent blood platelet condensation and thus prevent thrombosis. Studies have found that colloidal substances in every 4 tomatoes can reduce platelet activity in vivo by 72% without causing stomach bleeding.

12. Wild salmon

Carp is rich in unsaturated fatty acids omega 3 fatty acids, eat more to prevent stroke, arrhythmia, hypertension, depression, breast cancer, colon cancer and so on. Eat squid 2 to 4 times a week. Serve with sardines and flatfish.

13, milk

In addition to nutrients that are beneficial to human body absorption, milk also contains a specific nutrient substance called pyropaquinophthalein, which plays an important role in protecting the nerves, especially the brain, so that adults drink at least 200 capsules per day. 300 milliliters of fresh milk is of great benefit in the prevention and treatment of stroke.

Last reminder, in addition to eating more foods, we must also pay attention to: Stroke patients with hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease and other chronic diseases should adhere to medication, regular physical examination, to maintain a comfortable mood, to avoid dramatic changes such as emotional . Do not wash the clothes when the water temperature is too low, otherwise it is easy to stimulate vasoconstriction. Do not get up in the morning to get up suddenly, to get up slowly and avoid causing orthostatic hypotension. Indoors maintain a certain humidity and temperature, indoor and outdoor temperature difference should not be too large. In the event of sudden vertigo or a sudden increase in headache, an unclear vision or blindness, hardened tongue or aphasia, sudden numbness of one's limbs, fatigue, inconvenience in mobility, etc., should be promptly sent to a hospital for treatment.
