The weather is getting colder, be alert to the "red light" of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and stay away from what is a healthy winter?

A large number of studies show that the incidence of cerebrovascular diseases has different characteristics in different seasons and solar terms; The incidence of cerebral hemorrhage in winter is the highest, followed by autumn; The incidence of cerebral infarction is the highest in spring, followed by winter. The top four patients with cerebral hemorrhage are vernal equinox, first frost, beginning of winter and beginning of spring. The top four solar terms of patients with cerebral infarction are long summer, rain, Qingming and mango.

Winter is the high incidence season of acute cerebrovascular diseases.

The incidence of acute cerebrovascular disease is closely related to climate change. Every winter, many patients come to see a doctor because of the attack of cerebrovascular disease. Winter is a period of high incidence of cerebrovascular diseases. Once cerebrovascular diseases break out, the mortality and disability rate are very high, which brings a heavy burden to individuals, families and society. For people at high risk of cerebrovascular diseases, cold winter is a challenging season.

Why are cerebrovascular diseases high in winter?

1. cold stimulation: the release of adrenaline and norepinephrine in human body will increase due to cold stimulation, causing vasoconstriction and blood pressure increase, leading to vascular rupture and cerebral hemorrhage; At the same time, the temperature changes greatly in winter, and the fluctuation of blood pressure increases, which will also lead to the rupture of blood vessels or plaques. Moreover, cold stimulation will also cause blood vessels to contract, leading to slower blood flow. In particular, sudden cold weather will induce sudden contraction of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which will easily lead to vascular occlusion.

2. Living habits: People like to get calories by eating in winter, which will lead to the increase of blood lipids and blood viscosity, leading to cerebral vascular occlusion. Moreover, people's exercise in winter will also be reduced, leading to obesity and hyperlipidemia, which has become a risk factor for cerebrovascular diseases.

How to prevent cerebrovascular diseases in winter?

1. Pay attention to cold and warmth.

Avoid cold stimulation, especially when the cold wave strikes and the temperature drops suddenly, pay attention to adding clothes in time to prevent blood pressure from fluctuating or unstable due to temperature.

Reasonable diet

Diet, you can eat more high-fiber green food, eat less greasy food, and avoid alcohol and tobacco. This diet is usually low in salt, fat and cholesterol. It can supplement heat source food, increase the supply of heat energy and improve the body's tolerance to low temperature, that is, it can keep warm, keep out the cold and prevent dryness through diet.

3. Insist on physical exercise

Because of the cold weather in winter, many people are reluctant to take part in sports. But as the saying goes: Move in winter and get sick less; Lazy in winter, drink a bowl of medicine. ? Physical exercise can improve cold tolerance, such as walking outdoors and playing Tai Ji Chuan are all good activities. Of course, you should be fully prepared for exercise and exercise moderately.

4. Control your emotions and avoid getting emotional.

Extreme anger or nervousness can induce cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, we should maintain an optimistic and happy mood in our daily life and work, and avoid ecstasy, rage, depression, sadness, fear and shock.

5. Keep taking medicine and keep blood pressure stable.

Cold weather can lead to high blood pressure. Patients with hypertension should not stop using antihypertensive drugs at will. If they suddenly stop taking it, their blood pressure may rebound. Therefore, patients with hypertension should adhere to the maintenance dose under the guidance of doctors to keep their blood pressure at an ideal level. In addition, patients with hypertension should appropriately increase the dosage of antihypertensive drugs under the guidance of doctors in cold season to make their blood pressure reach normal standards.
