Diet guidance for patients with cerebral infarction

summary

Cerebral infarction is the general term of ischemic stroke, including cerebral thrombosis, lacunar infarction and cerebral embolism, accounting for about 70% of all stroke, which is caused by cerebral blood supply disorder. Cerebral infarction is due to the sudden decrease or stop of blood flow in the local cerebral artery, resulting in cerebral ischemia and hypoxia in the blood supply area, leading to necrosis and softening of brain tissue, accompanied by clinical symptoms and signs of corresponding parts, such as hemiplegia, aphasia and other neurological deficit symptoms. 24-48 hours after the onset of cerebral infarction, brain CT scan showed low-density lesions in the corresponding parts, the boundary was not clear, there may be a certain space occupying effect. MRI examination and examination of brain can detect cerebral infarction earlier, showing low signal on T1 and high signal on T2. MRI can detect small infarct. Next, let's discuss diet guidance for patients with cerebral infarction?

Diet guidance for patients with cerebral infarction

Lentinus edodes: flat in nature and taste. It has the effect of Tonifying Qi and stomach, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

matters needing attention

For patients with hypertension, blood pressure should be controlled at a reasonable level. Because the blood pressure is too high, it is easy to make the cerebral microangioma and atherosclerotic arteriole rupture and bleeding; and when the blood pressure is too low, the cerebral blood supply is not complete, and the microcirculation is stagnant, it is easy to form cerebral infarction. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent various factors that cause sudden decrease of blood pressure, slow cerebral blood flow, increase of blood viscosity and increase of blood coagulation.
