How to treat cerebral arteriosclerosis with diet

Cerebral arteriosclerosis is common in clinical practice, and this symptom is more common among the elderly. Cerebral arteriosclerosis must be treated in a timely manner. In addition to conventional drug treatment, diet therapy is also very important. Patients with cerebral arteriosclerosis must pay attention to a low-cholesterol diet and eat less animal offal.

1. Low-cholesterol diet and less animal fat. Generally speaking, plasma cholesterol has two sources. Those derived from food (daily intake of 300 mg) are exogenous, and those synthesized in the liver and small intestine are endogenous. It is generally believed that daily cholesterol intake should not exceed 300 mg. Otherwise, excessive lipid substances are deposited on the blood vessel walls. Leading to cerebral arteriosclerosis.

2. Quit all bad habits, especially smoking. Because the nicotine in tobacco can cause arterial spasm and arterial ischemia, leading to cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction.

3. The diet should be light, and avoid eating too salty and sweet foods. Eating sweets frequently will increase the triglyceride level in the blood. Maintain a normal weight, do not consume too much daily, and adhere to proper physical exercise while taking dietary therapy.

4. Diet therapy: control the intake of animal fat and high cholesterol, such as limiting egg yolk, fat meat, animal offal, etc., avoid high-sugar diet, eat more vegetables, fruits and kelp, control weight, and it is best to quit smoking and drinking.. Drug therapy: drugs to improve brain blood circulation such as vitamin E, ginkgo leaf preparations and many Chinese patent medicines; drugs to lower blood lipids such as linoleic acid preparations; drugs to activate nerve cells such as Sanlexi, ATP, CTP, etc.; and treat hypertension, diabetes and other major diseases that cause arteriosclerosis.
