Stroke, as it is known - is a cerebral infarction. Its causes - the gap vessel / vessels (and then hemorrhagic stroke) or thrombus occlude blood flow (then ischemic). This state is threatened primarily:
- high blood pressure;
- patients with heart disease;
- diabetics;
- people with excess weight;
- those who take birth control pills;
- smokers;
- sedentary people;
- suffering from sleep apnea;
- for people older than 55 years;
- those who have a family history of stroke;
- men.
However, there are preventive measures that allow the maximum to protect themselves from adversity:
1. It is necessary to monitor their own weightBecause the extra weight leads to increased pressure and the appearance of a variety of diseases likely to cause, including stroke.
2. It is necessary to include in the diet of vegetables and fruits - they increase the elasticity of blood vessels and lower blood pressure. And it is an excellent prevention of stroke.
3. We'll have to quit smoking, as smoking and active and passive increases the risk of stroke.
4. Need to do sport. Nobody is talking about professional achievements in this area. It is only about aerobic exercise. Half-hour sessions in the hall every day, and your weight returns to normal, reduce pressure, improve heart function and condition of the blood vessels. So ischemic stroke is not exactly threatening, as, indeed, and hemorrhagic.
5. Reduce the use of alcohol to a reasonable minimum. That is no more servings per day. A single "portion" is about 17 (!) Ml of pure alcohol. This beer or 350 ml or 150 ml of wine, or 44 (Well, OK - 50) ml of distilled spirits. Anything that exceeds this rate, as well as periodic "drinking-spree" to the ugly state of binges and even more so - true road to a stroke. In general, it is best to consult with your doctor, because someone may drink at all contraindicated.
6. Remove from the diet of trans fats. Absolutely. No fast food, chips, shop baking. All of this narrows the lumen of blood vessels and increases the risk of thrombosis, and thus the stroke.
7. blood pressure control. If it is above 130/80 mmHg, it is necessary to consult a doctor for the corrective treatment. Such an approach would prevent cerebral infarction.
8. Controlling the level of sugar. In order not to missed diabetes, which is often at the root of serious problems with the brain vessels.
