There are more and more stroke patients nowadays, in the medical field, strokes are also known as cerebral infarction or cerebrovascular accident. This disease poses a very serious threat to human health, with most of the afflicted either facing death or disability. Today, the editor wants to introduce to everyone that regularly consuming these 3 types of food will increase the risk of stroke.
Item 1: High-fat foods
Regularly consuming high-fat foods can lead to excess energy intake in the body which cannot be absorbed. Fat will accumulate in the subcutaneous layer or blood vessels, affecting the body’s metabolism on one hand and increasing the likelihood of cardiovascular diseases on the other.
Item 2: Processed meat products
Processed foods are tasty and convenient to prepare, making them very popular nowadays. However, studies have shown that processed meat products often contain high levels of sodium, along with carcinogenic substances. Regular consumption undoubtedly increases the burden on blood vessels, thus inviting a stroke.
Item 3: Foods rich in trans fats such as bread, biscuits
Frequent consumption of bread, biscuits, and other sweet foods can cause significant harm to blood vessels in the body. These foods contain large amounts of trans fats, a type of unhealthy fat that, upon entering the body, increases the buildup of waste in blood vessels, damages blood vessel walls, increases blood viscosity, and raises the likelihood of developing atherosclerosis and stroke.
So how can strokes be prevented and treated? Let’s learn together below
1. Stick to drinking tea
Data suggests that moderate daily tea consumption has a good preventive effect on stroke and heart diseases. Nutrition studies indicate that the flavonoids in tea can improve vascular constriction function, particularly beneficial for atherosclerosis. Drinking tea can prevent blood clots in blood vessels to a great extent, significantly reducing the risk of heart diseases. Clinical reports also demonstrate that individuals who drink tea regularly have lower occurrences of arterial thrombosis and blood vessel blockages.
2. Eat more fungus-containing foods
As the old saying goes, plant-based foods with one leg are of high nutritional value, referring to fungus, such as mushrooms. Regular consumption of mushrooms can lower cholesterol levels and provide good preventive effects against hypertension, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, blood clots, and other vascular diseases. The main reason is that mushrooms contain compounds like mushroom polysaccharides, mushroom acid, rich vitamins, and polysaccharides.
3. Seaweed, kelp
Sea plants not only contain rich iodine but also abundant algin, fucoidan, with properties similar to heparin activity. They can prevent blood clots, reduce cholesterol, lipoproteins, thereby inhibiting atherosclerosis. They are excellent food choices for cardiovascular disease patients.
4. Choose suitable exercises
Life depends on exercise, and this proverb is very reasonable. However, different body conditions require different types of exercise. For today’s condition, it is recommended to frequently massage the cervical vertebrae.
Massaging the neck can promote blood circulation in the neck vessels, ensuring sufficient blood supply to the brain, thereby preventing strokes.
5. Pay attention to keeping warm
In low temperatures, if you wear too little clothing, the body’s low temperature can easily lead to invasion by cold air into the blood vessels. Particularly in low temperatures or sharp temperature drops, it can easily trigger myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, leading to a stroke.
