Stay away from stroke

There is a disease that can make people lose their dignity in an instant---stroke

Pay attention to the "invisible killer" of stroke

Why is the incidence of stroke so high? Wrong ideas and unhealthy lifestyles are the main and most basic causes of this problem and are the "invisible killers" of stroke.

There are many misunderstandings in the lifestyle of Chinese residents, such as diet, exercise, hobbies, etc. This is also a common risk factor for many chronic non-communicable diseases.

In addition, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and high blood sugar can all induce stroke. These chronic non-communicable diseases are collectively referred to as lifestyle diseases. They involve all aspects of daily life and have a significant impact on people's health. At the same time, because of its prevalence and familiarity, many people do not think how important the impact of lifestyle on health is. Therefore, wrong concepts and unhealthy lifestyles have become "invisible killers."

In addition, some common organic diseases such as patent foramen ovale and atrial fibrillation can also cause stroke.

Stroke is preventable and treatable

We must correct wrong ideas and unhealthy lifestyles, and consciously avoid risk factors for stroke. In addition, we must pay attention to pathological changes that have already formed in the body, such as stenosis caused by carotid artery plaques, and regularly screen for stroke risk factors to detect disease problems early, so as to achieve early prevention, early diagnosis, and early treatment, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of stroke.

After a stroke occurs, effective treatment measures including thrombolytic therapy within 3 hours can save some brain tissue that has not yet necrotized, greatly improve the patient's prognosis, reduce mortality and disability rates, and some patients can fully recover without any sequelae. However, in my country, less than 2% of patients can reach the hospital in time and receive thrombolytic therapy.

The earlier you start preventing stroke, the better.

Establish a healthy lifestyle and behavior to prevent stroke as early as possible. Because the pathological changes of arteriosclerosis often begin in childhood and gradually worsen with age, which is mainly related to excessive fat content in food and high-sugar diet leading to obesity. Hyperlipidemia and obesity are the main causes of arteriosclerosis. From an early age, properly control the intake of high-cholesterol and high-sugar foods, eat more fruits and vegetables; develop the habit of not being picky eaters and not overeating; actively participate in various sports and develop good living habits, which are extremely beneficial to a person's health throughout his life.
