Thrombosis can cause serious harm to the body, and cerebral thrombosis is primarily caused by vascular blockage, leading to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain and resulting in a neurological disorder. Patients with cerebral thrombosis generally have poor self-care abilities, slow reactions, and may sometimes even be unable to speak; these are all residual symptoms of cerebral thrombosis. In fact, many foods in daily life can help prevent thrombosis, and today I will share a few foods that can effectively help avoid thrombosis when consumed regularly. Let’s take a look.
1. Soybeans
Soybean oil is rich in anti-thrombotic components that can dissolve blood clots, thus preventing thrombotic blockages and arterial hardening.
2. Persimmons
Persimmons contain rich nutrients that not only help lower blood pressure and protect the cardiovascular system but also effectively prevent arterial hardening and reduce the incidence of cerebral thrombosis. This is due to the presence of a phenolic compound in persimmons. Therefore, patients with cerebral thrombosis can eat more persimmons, but they should not eat them on an empty stomach or with the skin.
3. Corn
Corn is excellent for preventing thrombosis due to its unsaturated fatty acids. Eating more corn can help us rapidly metabolize fats and cholesterol, thereby preventing blood deterioration.
4. Garlic
Garlic can prevent the occurrence of thrombosis. The allicin released from garlic can eliminate the fats that accumulate in the body, having a significant lipid-lowering effect.
5. Pomegranate
Pomegranates are warm in nature and sweet in taste. The alkaloids contained in the peel have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, while the fruit contains various amino acids and trace elements. It not only aids digestion and softens blood vessels but also lowers blood pressure, blood lipids, and cholesterol. Patients with cerebral thrombosis can consume pomegranate juice, which can effectively reduce the formation of thrombosis and benefit recovery. It can also help eliminate diseases and promote health.
How should we prevent thrombosis in daily life? By following these few points, we can effectively prevent thrombosis and keep it at bay.
1. In daily life, pay attention to balancing work and rest, adjust your mindset, and maintain an optimistic and uplifting mood.
2. Don’t get out of bed too quickly in the morning; rest for a few minutes before getting up. After getting up, drink some salt water to reduce blood viscosity and ensure normal blood flow.
3. Before going to bed at night, drink a moderate amount of boiled water to lower the viscosity of the blood at night and replenish the fluids lost overnight.
4. Whether at night or in the morning when using the toilet, switch from squatting to sitting, and don’t take too long on the toilet.
5. Engage in appropriate exercise; activities like walking and Tai Chi can greatly help in preventing cerebral thrombosis.
