Nutritional regimen
A suitable diet is an extremely important factor in preventing stroke.
- Eat plenty of plant-based foods such as green vegetables, beans, whole grains, and nuts.
- Eat more seafood, eat poultry and eggs instead of red meat.
- Limit salt, fat, fried foods high in oil, limit sugar and refined grains.
Exercise more
According to the American Heart Association, people who are sedentary have a 20% higher risk of stroke than those who exercise four times a week. Regular exercise with appropriate exercises contributes to stable blood circulation in the body and heart rate. Thanks to that, the risk of cardiovascular disease leading to stroke is reduced.
Limit beer and alcohol consumption
Instead of regularly using alcohol and beer with high levels, you should drink red wine in moderation (about 1 small glass per day). Red wine contains resveratrol, which helps protect the heart and brain.
Keep your body warm
It is necessary to keep the body warm during the changing seasons. Middle-aged and elderly people should wear warm clothes when going to bed, leaving the room, even when walking in the morning to avoid sudden cold infections, which can easily cause sudden high blood pressure. If high blood pressure is not prevented, it can cause a high blood pressure that causes a blood vessel to rupture, causing a stroke.
Control diabetes
Controlling blood sugar levels according to your doctor's instructions is necessary. In addition, you should adopt a scientific diet, exercise and take medication to keep blood sugar levels stable.
No smoking
According to many studies, smoking can increase the risk of stroke. If it is difficult to quit smoking, you should consult your doctor to choose a suitable way, for example using products to help quit smoking such as nicotine capsules, stickers, etc.
