stroke , commonly known as stroke
is an acute cerebrovascular disease
is called "the number one killer of human health"
October 29, 2022
is the 17th " World Stroke Day "
The theme is "Identify stroke symptoms and grasp precious time!"
To popularize stroke knowledge and promote stroke prevention and control
Improve residents' awareness of stroke and its risk factors
and the awareness of preventing and treating diseases
What should we do to prevent stroke?
First of all, we must clarify what are the dangerous and pathogenic factors of stroke:
1 human body behavior factors
Unhealthy eating habits, love to smoke and drink, low physical fitness and lack of exercise, love to lose your temper and irritability, etc.
2 body metabolic factors
three highs, high cholesterol , body bloated and obese, high systolic blood pressure , etc.
3 living environment factors
poor air quality, severe pollution and other similar situations.
Among them, individual behavioral factors account for the highest proportion of factors causing stroke. But fortunately, this part of the factor is also the best we can control. Behavioral factors are basically divided into two categories: daily living habits and eating habits . Doing these two aspects well can effectively inhibit the occurrence of stroke.
Three actions to prevent stroke
1
Faced with the air handle
Do it once every morning, noon and evening, each time 400 times.
It is best to use your left hand to do this movement more often, because the left hand is less effective, so most people lack exercise in the right brain, and the blood vessel wall is very fragile and easy to rupture. Using your left hand more often is also for the sake of life safety.
2
Shrugging
Everyone can do the shrugging actions, and it is better to do it in a coherent way. A 5-minute shrug exercise every day can not only help relax the nerves and blood vessels in the shoulder, promote blood circulation, but also clear the path of blood flowing into the brain, providing power for our body.
3
Shaking the mind is not a disease, but a treatment
frequency is still three times a day, thirty times a time each time. Find a place to sit right, shake your head left and right, the slower the better. Hypotension patients are recommended to do it in a flat position.
This is done to increase the anti-stress of the blood vessels and prevent stroke.
"Life-saving recipe" to get a copy of
In addition to healthier living habits, eating habits should not be underestimated. Eating right and well can also greatly reduce the probability of stroke. Here I have compiled a list of foods for preventing strokes for you, and you must keep them well!
01 Folic acid and calcium must not be less
Calcium supplementation is important, but folic acid supplementation is also important.
folic acid has a good effect on improving intradermal function of the blood vessels. It is one of the best choices to prevent coronary heart disease or chronic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so it can also reduce the chance of our brain stroke much less.
There are many foods rich in natural folic acid, including animal liver, legumes, dark green vegetables (such as broccoli , spinach, asparagus, etc.), nuts, sunflower seeds, peanuts and peanut butter, citrus fruits and juices, soy milk and milk, etc. You can consume more foods rich in folic acid to ensure the amount of folic acid your body needs every day.
02 Egg, the nemesis of stroke
Don’t underestimate this most inconspicuous food in our lives. The nutrients it contains are incomparable to many foods. There are countless benefits to preventing vascular lesions.
The most intuitive result is that the Journal of the American College of Nutrition has proved that eating an egg can reduce the risk of stroke by 12%~
03 Olive oil is a good thing, don’t waste
Eat more cold dishes made of olive oil, which tastes fresh and nutritious, and can maintain your body and maintain your health after losing fat.And, if you often choose to cook food with olive oil when cooking, you are 41% less risk of suffering from stroke than those who do not cook with olive oil!
04 Whole grains, if you see it taking a stroke, you will take a detour
The University of Aberdeen in the UK has a survey and research showing that people who eat 3 servings of whole grains a day will have a lower blood pressure and their systolic blood pressure. The decrease in blood pressure means that the risk of stroke is smaller, and the probability of illness is naturally smaller.
05
fish
Although we advocate eating less meat, many people cannot do without meat. If that's the case, why not eat more healthy and delicious fish?
Fish meat will not cause any burden on our blood vessels as long as you do not cook with excessive oil. People who can eat fish more than five times a week will have a stroke probability of 53%; even if they only eat fish once a week, the chance of stroke can be reduced by 20%.
What is the reason for preventing stroke when eating fish?
Fish contain Ω-3 fatty acid , which can help us reduce the stickiness of platelets . Most strokes are caused by the blood viscosity, which is caused by blood clots . Fish can prevent blood clotting and naturally prevent stroke. Especially effective for middle-aged and elderly people!
06 Drinking green tea
green tea has antioxidant effects, and the tannin and vitamin E in it have a great effect on enhancing the elasticity of blood vessel walls. A thin and broken blood vessel wall can easily cause stroke. If the blood vessel wall is elastic and thick, there will be no such danger.
07 Eat more vegetables and fruits
Eat more tomatoes and apples, and other fruits and vegetables you like to eat are fine.
must be eaten with vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are of great use to improve microvascular function and lower blood pressure and lipids. These are very useful for preventing stroke.
At the end, the editor introduces a self-evaluation method for stroke.
can help you identify your family around you as soon as possible whether
suffers from stroke.

"FAST" evaluation method
Internationally commonly used "FAST" evaluation method. This method is relatively simple. It can identify whether you or your family have stroke as soon as possible. Timely visiting a doctor may save the lives of stroke patients and may also improve the quality of life. The main content of
"FAST" has a vivid chart (see the picture above).
F (Face): Can you smile, do you feel weak or numb on one side of your face?
A (Arm): Can you raise your hands smoothly, do you feel that one hand has no strength or cannot lift it at all?
S (Speech): Can you answer fluently, whether you have difficulty speaking or unclear words.
T (Time): If one of the above three items exists, please call the emergency number "120" immediately.
"120" three-step method
In 2016, the Lancet Neurology Journal published an article "Stroke 120: Chinese Strategies for Quick Recognition and Immediate Action" jointly by Professor Zhao Jing of Minhang Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University on "World Stroke Day". This article pioneered the "120" three-step method suitable for China, convenient for memory, and can quickly identify stroke patients.
1 Look at a face and see if the two sides of the face are symmetrical.
2 Check whether one side of the arms is weak.
0 Listen, whether “listen” is unclear whether it is said or not.
found an abnormality and quickly called "120" for emergency treatment and sent it to the hospital for treatment.
forward it quickly,
lets more people know how to prevent stroke!
