Regulate blood pressure: Lowering high blood pressure and raising low blood pressure is one of the preventive and therapeutic measures for cerebral infarction, because studies have found that the blood pressure of patients with cerebral infarction is generally abnormal, either too high or too low, and blood sugar is generally too high, so it is necessary to regulate blood pressure and control blood lipids.

Adequate rest is very necessary, but appropriate activities also play a significant role in improving brain blood circulation and preventing cerebral infarction.
