With the change of modern lifestyle, more and more patients with cerebral infarction, research shows that the elevated cholesterol level in the body (high blood fat) is one of the main root causes of cerebral infarction.
Once a cerebral infarction occurs, it can lead to transient weakness and slurred speech, or paralysis and even life-threatening injuries, bringing a great burden to families and society! For this reason, the state advocates the enhancement of health literacy of the entire population to prevent cerebral infarction. In the publicity of all parties to promote, we are more and more important to the health of the body, and began to control the intake of cholesterol in food, to prevent the formation of high blood fat.
I believe that in most people's inherent impression, we will think that the cholesterol content of animal offal is higher, and pig intestines are the best cholesterol content of animal offal, right? But today I want to tell you, real cholesterol "big" is not pig intestine, but another pig brain!
Pork sausage is not a cholesterol "big"
Our daily life in the food whether it is eggs, pork, beef and mutton or animal offal, contain a certain amount of cholesterol, for example, per 100g of chicken, beef, sheep and pork. For example, the cholesterol content per 100g of chicken, beef, sheep and pork is about 60-85mg, while the cholesterol content of 100g of animal offal is about 100-400mg, which is higher than that of meat in general, and we believe that the "best" pig intestines, the cholesterol content of each 100g of cholesterol is also 130-150mg, so it is not the highest.
The study found that animal brain tissue is the cholesterol "big", such as pig brain flower, per 100g pig brain flower, cholesterol content of up to 2000mg or more. In life, many people are superstitious to eat what make up, so many people in order to make up for the brain like to eat brain flower, if often eat brain flower, not only to make up for the brain help is not big, but also easily lead to high cholesterol anemia, instead of inducing atherosclerosis, leading to the possibility of cerebral infarction!
In addition to diet, but also to do so in order to effectively prevent cerebral infarction
Prevention of hypercholesterolemia is one of the measures to prevent cerebral infarction, but only from the dietary restriction of cholesterol intake is far from enough, because some people in the physical body is slow metabolism type, that is, we are commonly referred to as the "easy to fat". However, limiting cholesterol intake from diet alone is not enough, because some people are slow metabolizers, which is commonly known as "easy to gain weight", so even if they consume very little cholesterol, hypercholesterolemia may occur. The first thing you need to do is to get rid of all the risk factors that can cause you to lose your mind and your brain.
1. Quit smoking
Tobacco smoke contains more than 200 kinds of toxic and harmful substances, at least 69 kinds of substances with carcinogenic effect, smoking can make the endothelial function of the blood vessel damage, leading to atherosclerosis, plaque instability and thrombosis. Studies have found that smoking increases the relative risk of cerebral infarction by 90%, so prevention of cerebral infarction first needs to quit smoking.
2. Limit alcohol
2018 WHO has clearly shown that there is no "safe value" for drinking alcohol, as long as the drinking of alcohol, no matter how much, will have an adverse effect on health. Especially for patients with hyperlipidemia, even a small amount of alcohol can lead to a further increase in blood lipid levels, leading to a higher risk of cerebral infarction, so you should stop drinking or strictly limit the consumption of alcohol.
3. Exercise
Long-term physical inactivity can lead to overweight and obesity, and overweight and obesity will bring high blood pressure, high blood fat and high blood sugar, which will increase the risk of the development of cardiovascular and cerebral vascular diseases, and a large number of studies have found that the amount of physical activity and the risk of cardiovascular and cerebral vascular diseases and death inversely proportional to the greater the activity, the smaller the risk of cardiovascular and cerebral vascular diseases. The more activity you do, the less risk you have of developing cardiovascular disease, but it's recommended that you do it according to your ability.
In short, the prevention of cerebral infarction, in addition to controlling the three highs, but also need to pay attention to improve the lifestyle, and dietary control of high cholesterol intake is very critical, I believe that most people can not imagine that the animal brain tissue will contain such a high level of cholesterol, right? So the doctor again reminded, prevention of cerebral infarction, animal brain tissue to minimize touch!
