The weather is getting cooler, so be aware of the sudden drop in temperature!Therapist Chen Tingxuan teaches you how to prevent stroke

Harvard University has studied that the time between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. is the most likely time to cause myocardial infarction and embolic stroke. Especially in winter, the large temperature difference between day and night can cause blood vessels to constrict and prevent blood from flowing, leading to vascular embolism and significant fluctuations in blood pressure. Therefore, it is recommended not to get up and jump out of bed immediately in the morning, especially the elderly should pay more attention. Rapid temperature changes can easily cause blood vessels to constrict and cause blood clots, and a health crisis will appear immediately! It is recommended that you do not rush out of bed when you get up in the morning. You can move your body under the quilt, put on warm clothes, let your body complete the warm-up mode, and warm your body before getting out of bed.
There are several things you can do on a daily basis to prevent the occurrence of stroke

1. Properly replenish water
As the weather gets colder, people will be less willing to walk around, and it will also reduce the need to replenish water and reduce the frequency of taking off pants to go to the toilet. Since 70% of human body cells are composed of water, insufficient water intake will increase the thickness of the blood. Blockage of blood vessels will reduce the efficiency of blood circulation, narrow the blood vessels, and increase the chance of stroke.
It is recommended to drink a cup of warm water after getting up in the early morning to warm the body, dilute the thick blood, help blood circulation, and supply the oxygen and nutrients needed by the cells.
2. Control the three highs
The three highs are commonly known as high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and high blood sugar. The three will affect each other’s blood vessels and body organs in the long term. People with high blood pressure or diabetes need to pay more attention to control their blood data: blood pressure <140/90mmHg, glycosylated hemoglobin <7%, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol <100mg/dl to reduce the chance of stroke.
At the same time, people suffering from stroke also need to continue to control their daily blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood sugar data, follow the doctor’s instructions to take chronic medications regularly, control their diet, and maintain a stable routine to avoid aggravation of the condition.
3. Avoid excessive emotional ups and downs
The saying “I’m so angry that I have a stroke” is no joke, it’s true!
A recent study in the European Heart Journal pointed out that factors such as anger, emotional instability, and strenuous exercise may increase sympathetic nervous tension, thereby increasing the risk of stroke. Excessive emotion, stress, anger, etc. can easily increase blood pressure suddenly, leading to hemorrhagic stroke. Therefore, try to keep your mood in a positive state every day, so that the brain’s endocrine system can release serotonin to stabilize your mood, and regulate excessive emotional ups and downs, which can reduce the chance of rupture of blood vessels in the brain.
4. Prevent falls
The most common patient in the rehabilitation department suddenly falls down accidentally at home in winter, causing an acute stroke, and is rushed to the hospital to enter a post-acute integrated care plan (PAC). It is really important to prevent falls, especially the elderly who are at high risk of falling at home due to aging, functional deterioration of the musculoskeletal system, and poor balance and coordination.
Elderly people should pay more attention when going to the toilet at night, and bright lighting equipment should be installed in dark areas of the home; anti-slip mats can be placed in the bathroom to prevent slippery floors and falls; safety handrails should be installed on stairs to prevent the elderly from falling.
★Intimate reminder
When it’s cold, please pay more attention to weather changes and keep warm. Only by getting rid of bad habits (cigarettes, alcohol, betel nut, etc.) and slowly accumulating good health habits can you always maintain good health.
