60-year-old Mr. Yu has always been in good health. Since there is nothing to do after retirement, he usually likes to play mahjong with his neighbors.
One night, after dinner, Uncle Yu was about to play mahjong at his neighbor's house, but he fainted at the door as soon as he went out. When his wife found out, she immediately sent him to the hospital for treatment, but she was still unable to make up for the situation.
Doctor said: Uncle Yu died of cerebral infarction . For middle-aged and elderly people who want to reduce cerebral infarction, they should do these 6 less after a meal.
1. Drink after meals.
Many people like to drink a glass of wine after a meal, thinking that this can cultivate sentiment and is also beneficial to the body. But this is not the case, because wine contains a large amount of ethanol and other ingredients. After entering the human body, these ingredients will flow to various parts of the body with blood, especially on the cardiovascular and stomach. For friends who drink frequently, cerebral infarction will also occur. For middle-aged and elderly people, if they want to prevent cerebral infarction, they must control the amount of alcohol to reduce the number of times they drink.
2. Smoke after meals.
According to relevant research, people who smoke for a long time have a chance of cerebral infarction more than 5 times higher than those who do not smoke. Cigarettes contain a large amount of nicotine , tar and other ingredients. These ingredients will affect the sympathetic system of the nerves, causing them to produce excitation, and then cause heart rate to increase and blood pressure. If you smoke after a meal, it will also affect the blood oxygen ability of hemoglobin, which will increase the chance of cerebral infarction.
3. Sit for a long time after a meal.
Many middle-aged and elderly people like to sit and rest after dinner, or even play mahjong and chat. Little do they know that this habit not only leads to fat accumulation, but is also not conducive to digestion. If you go on for a long time, it will cause many problems such as hypertension and , hyperlipidemia, and abdominal obesity.
4. Exercise vigorously after meals.
Many people have heard of the saying "Let's go after meals and live to ninety-nine", so many middle-aged and elderly people mistakenly believe that just exercise after meals is good for the body. In fact, not all exercise after meals is reasonable. After eating, if you exercise vigorously, it will not only not be beneficial to the body, but will also endanger your health, reduce the blood circulation of the brain, and cause congestion in the brain, thereby increasing the chance of cerebral infarction.
5. Take a shower immediately after meals.
Many people like to take a bath at night, and taking a bath can relieve the fatigue of the day. For the elderly, taking a bath before going to bed can also effectively improve the quality of sleep, but you also need to choose the right time when taking a bath, and try not to take a bath immediately after a meal. If you take a bath immediately after a meal, the blood in the heart will flow rapidly to the limbs, thereby reducing the blood supply to the brain and causing acute cerebral infarction.
6. Drink strong tea immediately after the meal.
Some people like to drink strong tea after a meal, thinking that this will help digestion. However, drinking strong tea after a meal is also a bad habit, because strong tea contains high caffeine and theophylline, which can easily cause insomnia, and long-term insomnia can also lead to cerebral infarction.
Cerebral infarction has always been the primary culprit that threatens the health of middle-aged and elderly people. To reduce the chance of cerebral infarction, corresponding prevention work must be done. Especially after meals, you should do less of the above six things. Not only that, you also need to maintain healthy eating habits in your daily life to ensure a diversified dietary structure. If conditions permit, physical examinations can be conducted regularly, and once problems are found, they can be treated in time.
