Cerebral arteriosclerosis, prevention is effective

Cerebral arteriosclerosis is a local manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis in the limbs. It is very harmful and middle-aged and elderly people must actively prevent it. The total calorie intake of the diet should not be too high, in order to maintain a normal weight. People over 40 years old should prevent obesity. Those who have been diagnosed with coronary atherosclerosis are strictly prohibited from overeating to avoid inducing angina pectoris or myocardial infarction.

⑴. The total calories of the diet should not be too high, in order to maintain a normal body weight. People over 40 years old should prevent obesity. A simple calculation method for normal weight is: height (cm) - 105 = weight (kg); or body mass index BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)2. Normal weight should be less than or equal to 24.

⑵. People who are over normal weight should reduce the total calories they eat every day, eat a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet, and limit the intake of alcohol, sucrose and sugary foods.

⑶. Even if people over 40 years old have normal blood lipids, they should avoid consuming too much animal fat and foods high in cholesterol, such as fatty meat, liver, brain, kidney, lung and other internal organs, squid, cuttlefish, eel, bone marrow, lard, egg yolk, crab roe, fish roe, cream and its products, coconut oil, cocoa butter, etc. If the total cholesterol, triglycerides, etc. in the blood are high, you should eat low-cholesterol, low-animal fat foods, such as fish, chicken, various lean meats, protein, soy products, etc.

⑷. Those who have been diagnosed with coronary atherosclerosis are strictly prohibited from overeating to avoid inducing angina pectoris or myocardial infarction. People with hypertension or heart failure should also limit their salt intake.

⑸. It is recommended to eat a light diet and eat more foods rich in vitamin C (such as fresh vegetables, fruits and melons) and plant protein (such as beans and their products). When possible, try to use soybean oil, rapeseed oil, sesame oil, corn oil, tea oil, rice bran oil, safflower oil, etc. as cooking oils.
