With any disease you can fight. Stroke - is no exception. But the fight with an unknown enemy is much more difficult than with those qualities are known. An article about stroke with excerpts from medical dictionary has been published by the School of Life. Remember, what kind of disease.
Stroke - the most common disease of the brain in adults. Than people over, the greater the risk of disease. In different countries, its incidence ranges from one to four cases per year per thousand population. Among the causes of death, stroke ranks third among causes of disability - the undisputed leader.
Stroke - an acute, ie, emerged suddenly, stroke, or rupture of one of obstruction of cerebral vessels. Distinguish hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes.
In the hemorrhagic stroke destroys the blood vessel, which went no higher pressure. Blood enters the substance of the brain, ie, is a brain hemorrhage. It compresses the brain, causing its swelling and loss of a site.
Vessels in ischemic stroke remain intact, but the blood flow stops due to narrowing and blockage of blood clots. The consequences are the same as in the previous case: edema and death, myocardial area of the brain.
The first signs of a stroke - headache, nausea and vomiting. Then comes the movement disorders, speech disorders, sensitivity and awareness.
In the acute stage are killed 30-35% of cases. By the end of the first year after the acute stage - more than half. 10% of people with stroke, can not live without the constant help of others. And only one-fifth is able to return to work.
Stroke does not arise out of thin air. Often it is preceded by a variety of circulatory disorders of the brain. If you are plagued by frequent headaches, dizziness, and noise in your head, you began to forget simple things, disrupted the coordination of movements, it became a cause difficulties, there numbness in the extremities or on the face - see your doctor.
Among at-risk as people with high blood pressure. To reduce the risk, the pressure must be controlled in time and take medication to reduce it. Limit the numbers of pressure, still considered normal - 140/90. More specific advice can be given only a doctor.
Among the simple advice, it is quite feasible in the home, the following:
Do not smoke and limit alcohol intake. Safe daily dose of alcohol is not more than 20-30 g. of alcohol per day, a glass of dry wine or bottle of beer. It is best not to drink at all, but I note that in terms of state vessels, drink occasionally - more harmful than regular injections.
Reduce consumption of salt. It requires the body, but not in excessive amounts. It is quite sufficient 2.5 grams per day. Relatively much salt in the dishes from the menu and catering products, prepared industrially: the sausages, canned goods, baked goods. If you cook breakfast, lunch and dinner at home, reducing salt intake is easier.
Reduce obesity and diet. It is normal if the BMI is in the range 20-24,9. To determine the index value, divide weight in kilograms by the square of the values of growth, expressed in meters. Vessels needed potassium and magnesium, are very useful fish and seafood. Not long ago, added that the fish should not be oily. Today, the view is changing. Unlike animal fats, fish oil is useful.
Increase physical activity. Try to give yourself a low dynamic stress intensity at least every other day. Walking, cycling and swimming are very good. But in moderation. Do not allow yourself to shortness of breath, pain in the heart and arrhythmias. The maximum possible heart rate is defined as 220 minus the number of years lived. If there are problems with blood vessels, guided by the numbers, not exceeding 60% of maximum heart rate.
And finally, smile. Avoid stressful situations. Positive emotions - good health.
