It is estimated that many elderly people don’t know much about folic acid . Although modern popular science has been strengthened, many people still don’t know much about folic acid. Some people only have a certain understanding of folic acid after they get pregnant or their partner becomes pregnant.
Just know that taking folic acid to be pregnant or pregnant is good for the growth and development of the fetus and can prevent fetal malformations. If you don’t know much about the others, you will also mistakenly believe that only women who are pregnant or pregnant need to take folic acid.
But if older people can take folic acid rationally, it may help to stay away from the formation of brain thrombosis. Some elderly people who attach importance to health may know, but do not know how to supplement it. Let’s take a closer look.
So, how should the elderly supplement it specifically?
Food supplement: Generally Green leafy vegetables will contain more folic acid. In addition, animal viscera , and soy products , which will also contain more folic acid. If the amount of folic acid is not large, it can be supplemented through food.
Drug supplement: When performing supplementary medicine, it is best to supplement according to the doctor's instructions. One thing you need to understand is that specific supplementary plans should be made in specific situations. It is not recommended to blind supplements, after all, there are differences in each person's situation.
Moreover, folic acid is also divided into drug type and health product type . The folic acid of the drug type only contains folic acid, while folic acid of the health product type not only contains folic acid, but also contains other types of vitamins. This also needs to be distinguished.
According to the recommendations of Chinese Residents' Dietary Guidelines , the elderly can take at a 400 micrograms a day for supplementing folic acid, or combine it with dietary supplements.
When supplementing folic acid, one thing you need to pay attention to is not to over-supplement!
Reasonable supplementation for the elderly will be beneficial to reducing brain infarction. This has been proven to be relevant, but according to the current situation, an adverse phenomenon has been found in the United States.
is the phenomenon of oversupplementing , and this problem has indirectly led to the occurrence of some diseases, such as Alzheimer's , or neurologic damage , mainly because the synthesis of vitamin B12 is hindered.
Another problem is that it will affect the body's absorption of zinc , which may affect the body's immunity. All in all, excessive intake is not a good thing.
In fact, the problems may be more prominent not only in the United States, but also in China. A large number of people will have wrong perceptions and believe that the more good things must be supplemented, it will be more beneficial to health.
However, no matter what it is, no matter how good it is, it is the best. . Excessive amount may be the opposite. Therefore, older people should reasonably supplement according to their own situation. Whether it is a drug or health care type, it is not recommended to consume too much.
emphasizes: Folic acid supplementation is only one of the ways to prevent cerebral infarction . To stay away from cerebral infarction, there are three more things to do.
First, pay attention to the occurrence of cerebral infarction of the three highs
, and the relationship with the three highs is also very close. People with the three highs, if they cannot stabilize the relevant levels well, they may increase the risk of cerebral infarction.
Therefore, if you want to reduce the chance of cerebral infarction, you must first prevent the three highs. For those who have already suffered from the three highs, you must stabilize the relevant levels as much as possible. needs to measure blood lipids , blood pressure and blood sugar , and you also need to insist on taking medicine. At the same time, should take medicine reasonably as instructed. Secondly, should cooperate with life conditioning .
Second, pay attention to the changes in the body
Found that modern people have a relatively high chance of acute cerebral infarction. Whether it is young or elderly patients, acute cerebral infarction events are really frequent, and the frequency of acute cerebral infarction events is high, which has a lot to do with not understanding the signal of cerebral infarction.
There will be signals before the attack of cerebral infarction, but some signals are subtle, and many people will treat them as small problems, which is easy to miss the signal, which will cause serious illness to be discovered.
Generally speaking, before cerebral infarction, there will be dizziness, headache, impaired mouth, drooling when sleeping, snoring or yawning or numb legs and feet , etc. If you find it, please pay attention. The earlier you check, the better.
3. Quit smoking and quitting alcohol
The occurrence of cerebral infarction is also inseparable from tobacco and alcohol. Tobacco and alcohol are harmful to blood vessels. Whether it is alcohol or tobacco, under excessive intake, it may cause to spasm, rupture and sclerosis of . Once the plaques fall off, cerebral infarction may occur.
4. to move
After the age of the year, the blood vessels will age, which may cause the blood vessels to expand and contract and reduce 's ability to reduce. On this basis, if the blood vessels cannot be maintained well and the blood vessels aging speed may cause some problems.
The exercise ability of the elderly has been reduced, but it does not mean that they cannot exercise. Doing some aerobic exercise appropriately can help maintain blood vessel elasticity and improve blood circulation. You can walk and jog , or you can ask your friends to play , which will be beneficial to protect blood vessels.
However, there are so many people in China who like tobacco and alcohol. What’s more important is that most of them are excessive tobacco and alcohol. They have been smoking and drinking for more than 30 years. Most of these people will also have some chronic diseases. Even so, they cannot quit drinking and quit smoking, which is more likely to have cerebral infarction.
The age group of cerebral infarction has changed and gradually attacked the younger group, but it does not mean that young people are the main force, and middle-aged and elderly people are still the main force. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people need to take precautions. Folic acid should be replenished. At the same time, you should also pay attention to the above three things. If you can do it well, it can also help reduce the cerebral infarction. I hope everyone can pay attention to it and not ignore their health too much.
