The brain is the “headquarters” of the human body. All physiological activities, from heart beating, digestive juice secretion, to complex thinking and intense labour, are directed by the brain. Once the blood vessels in the brain are blocked, resulting in hypoxia in brain tissue, brain cells without nutrition will naturally die, and functional disorders will occur in brain tissue, which is a huge threat to life.

And the cerebral infarction comes from this! Cerebral infarction, also known as cerebral infarction and cerebral infarction, is known as the “four high killers”, that is, high incidence, high recurrence rate, high disability rate and high mortality rate! People with bad cerebral blood vessels have 3 manifestations on their heads. Beware of the occurrence of cerebral infarction. I hope you don’t.

1. Blackened in front of you

Generally, the blackness in front of the eyes is characterised by a relatively transient, and generally lasts for a few minutes or seconds to recover. If this happens, thrombosis is likely to occur in the brain stem, cerebellum and pontine. This is a temporary visual impairment, which usually leaves no sequelae. But it is often a more obvious sign before cerebral infarction occurs, so it is best to check it.

2. Headache when sleeping

Before the cerebral infarction occurs, there will be severe pain in the head, especially when sleeping at night, which may be awakened by pain. In addition, it will also be accompanied by convulsions, coma and other manifestations, which have not or rarely happened in the past. If you have any of the above symptoms, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying the condition.

3. Hard tongue

If you find that your tongue is starting to harden and you can’t speak clearly, it is very likely that the blood vessels in your brain have been affected. Therefore, it will make the blood circulation in the body not smooth, and the head will have insufficient blood supply, which will affect the brain’s control of the facial nerves, which will cause abnormal facial muscles, hard tongue, and unclear mouth.

Three habits are the “catalyst” of cerebral infarction. Try to do it as little as possible!

1. Overwork

Expert research has found that long-term fatigue, stress and tension lead to metabolic disorders, endocrine disorders, qi stagnation and blood stasis, and toxic fire in the body. It leads to elevated blood pressure, vasospasm, cerebral infarction, sudden death and other risks. The process of sudden death from cerebral infarction caused by fatigue: mild fatigue → body sinking → exhaustion → physical health → illness → sudden death

2. Tobacco and alcohol are continuous

After the age of 45, you must control your intake of tobacco and alcohol. Because the toxic substances in cigarettes enter the body, the coagulation mechanism will be impaired, which may cause cerebral infarction after a long time. Drinking alcohol will not only increase high blood pressure, but also cause sympathetic excitement, increase heart discharge, and increase the release of other vasoconstrictors, and then cause cerebral infarction.

3. Emotional excitement

Modern people are under great pressure in life, and it is difficult to control their emotions at ordinary times. They will be anxious for a long time when there is a little wind, but in fact, this state is very unfavourable to health. The study found that if people are in a state of tension, depression or fatigue for a long time, it will increase the possibility of vasospasm, which hinders the normal blood circulation of the human body and causes blood clots. And thrombosis is the culprit of myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. Protect vascular health, prevent cerebral infarction, and remember the “Three Ones”!

I. A class of nutrition

1. Alpha-linolenic acid

It is an essential fatty acid for the human body. It should be ingested from food, and the human body cannot synthesise important substances by itself, which helps to prevent myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction! When α-linolenic acid enters the body, it will be decomposed into EPA and DHA. Among them, EPA is called a “vascular scavenger”, which can decompose excess fat on the blood vessels, which is very beneficial for removing blood garbage, increasing the permeability of blood vessels, and removing substances harmful to cardiovascular.

2. Dietary fibre

An appropriate intake of dietary fibre is conducive to the feeling of fulness. Sources: fruits and vegetables, miscellaneous grains, nuts, beans, etc. Regular consumption can not only combine with bile acid and bile salt in the intestine, but also stimulate intestinal peristalsis, expel cholesterol from the body, and reduce the content of cholesterol in the blood.

3. Vitamin C

It can enhance the elasticity of blood vessels and improve atherosclerosis. In addition, it has strong antioxidant properties, which can prevent free radicals, harm the human body, and prevent ageing. ( Strawberries, oranges, kiwi, etc.)

4. Lecithin

It is a recognised “vascular scavenger” for good cholesterol, can regulate blood lipids, and remove blood debris from blood vessels. ( Eggs, soy products, etc.)

II. A cup of tea

1. Green tea

Green tea contains flavonoids, which have antioxidant effects, which can prevent blood clots, platelet aggregation, etc., thus reducing the risk of vascular diseases.

Drinking green tea every day can also inhibit platelet aggregation and reduce the incidence of arteriosclerosis.

2. Dandelion lotus leaf tea

Lotus leaf: It contains flavonoids and alkaloids, which can reduce total cholesterol and triglycerides, thus improving blood viscosity, lowering fat and blood pressure, and preventing the formation of blood clots.

Dandelion: Research shows that its water extract can reduce serum triglycerine, effectively increase high-density lipoprotein, help improve blood lipid health, and help cardiovascular health.

The combination of the two can promote the detoxification of the body, lower fat, lower blood pressure, improve blood viscosity, stabilise blood pressure, and protect the health of blood vessels.

3. Chrysanthemum tea

Chrysanthemum is the head-shaped inflorescence of chrysanthemum.

It is slightly cold, sweet and bitter. It has the effect of clearing the liver and eyesight, anti-inflammatory and detoxification, anti-thrombotic, antipyretic and sedation, increasing coronary artery blood flow, lowering blood pressure, and lowering blood lipids. Long-term drinking has a good effect on the prevention and treatment of hyperlipaemia and arteriosclerosis.

III. A series of actions

1. shrug your shoulders

Carry it on your shoulders and relax slowly. It is carried out over and over again.

Function: It provides a driving force for carotid blood to flow into the brain, accelerates blood flow to the brain, and reduces the risk of insufficient cerebrovascular blood supply and cerebral infarction.

Frequency: 5-8 minutes at a time.

2. Mouth open

Open your mouth: Open your mouth to the maximum extent, open and close, and affect all the muscles on your face. It can accelerate the blood flow of the face, delay the ageing of local tissues and organs, and make the mind clear and refresh. Just do it 30 times at a time.

Shoulder shrug: lift both shoulders, slowly relax, so lift and loose, repeat. 5-8 minutes at a time. It provides a driving force for carotid artery blood to flow into the brain, accelerates blood flow to the brain, and reduces the risk of insufficient blood supply to cerebral blood vessels and cerebral infarction.
