"You have to be careful, staying up late for a long time is really easy to induce cerebral infarction." Doctor Chen Zhiping said to Lao Zhao with a serious face.
Lao Zhao is a 60-year-old retired teacher who usually lives a regular life, but has a bad habit: staying up late.
No matter how tired he was, he had to stay up until one a.m. to fall asleep. As a result, that morning, he slept until three o'clock in the morning, and when he woke up, he felt dizzy, his feet were weak, and he almost fell to the ground.
This fall frightened Lao Zhao, and he quickly got up, touched his head with palpitations, and thought, "What's wrong with my body?" ”
With doubts and worries, Lao Zhao hurried to the hospital to see a doctor.
Dr. Chen examined Lao Zhao's physical condition in detail and found that his blood pressure was high and his blood lipids were also abnormal, and suggested that he should take good care of his body, especially to change his habit of staying up late. Lao Zhao looked dazed, not knowing what staying up late had to do with cerebral infarction.
Dr. Chen looked at Lao Zhao's appearance and patiently explained:
Lao Zhao nodded after hearing this, but he was still a little puzzled and asked, "Then what should I do?" I'm used to staying up late, and I can't change it all at once. ”
Dr. Chan sighed and said, "Habits can be adjusted slowly. First of all, you need to gradually advance the bedtime time, 15 minutes earlier every day, and slowly adjust to fall asleep before 11 o'clock. Secondly, it is necessary to ensure a comfortable sleeping environment and avoid noise and light interference. In addition, it is important to pay attention to diet and exercise to control blood pressure and blood lipids. ”
Lao Zhao nodded again and again, feeling that what Dr. Chen said was very reasonable. He decided to follow his doctor's advice and start adjusting his lifestyle.
After returning home, Lao Zhao first adjusted his schedule and tried to go to bed before 11 p.m.
In the first few days, he really didn't get used to it, but slowly, he found that after going to bed early, he woke up in the morning in a much better state of mind and dizziness.
However, Lao Zhao didn't know that in his circle of friends, everyone was also troubled by the problem of staying up late.
My friend Uncle Li is a business owner, who is usually busy with work and often stays up late to deal with official business.
He noticed that he had been having headaches lately and went to the doctor. The doctor told him that staying up late for a long time caused his blood pressure to rise, and that the headache was caused by unstable blood pressure. Uncle Li followed the doctor's advice and began to adjust his work and rest time, and as a result, the headache was relieved.
I also have a friend, Aunt Wang, who is a housewife who usually likes to watch TV dramas and often sees it in the middle of the night.
She noticed that her memory was declining and went to the hospital for consultation. The doctor told her that staying up late for a long time would affect brain function and lead to memory loss. Aunt Wang followed the doctor's advice and began to control the time she spent watching TV, gradually returning to her normal routine and memory.
Lao Zhao listened to the experiences of his friends and strengthened his determination to adjust his living habits. He understands that in order to maintain good health, it is not only about controlling staying up late, but also about conditioning in many aspects.
Therefore, Lao Zhao insisted on going to bed early and getting up early every day to ensure adequate sleep. In terms of diet, he also began to pay attention to nutritional matching, eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, and less greasy and spicy food. Every morning and evening, he will also do a moderate amount of exercise to enhance his physique.
After a period of time, Lao Zhao's physical condition improved significantly, the dizziness almost disappeared, and the whole person felt more energetic. When his friends saw him, they praised him for his great changes, and Lao Zhao felt happy in his heart and felt that his efforts were not in vain.
However, Lao Zhao still has a question in his heart: In addition to staying up late, what other lifestyle habits will affect the occurrence of cerebral infarction?
Studies have shown that the occurrence of cerebral infarction is related to multiple factors, not just staying up late. The following lifestyle habits also need to be noted:
First of all, dietary habits have a great influence on cerebral infarction.
People with insufficient qi and blood should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains and low-fat proteins to maintain a balanced and healthy diet.
Secondly, lack of exercise is also an important factor in the occurrence of cerebral infarction.
Furthermore, emotional management is equally important. Long-term mental stress and mood swings can lead to endocrine disorders in the body and increase the risk of cerebral infarction. Maintaining a good state of mind and engaging in appropriate relaxation and stress-reducing activities, such as listening to music, reading books, meditating, etc., can help regulate emotions and reduce the risk of cerebral infarction.
In addition, smoking and alcohol consumption are also risk factors for cerebral infarction. Smoking causes blood vessels to constrict and increase blood viscosity, while excessive alcohol consumption can damage blood vessel walls and increase the risk of cerebral infarction. It is recommended to quit smoking and limit alcohol as much as possible and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Why is emotion management equally important for preventing cerebral infarction?
Studies have shown that emotion management is essential for the prevention of cerebral infarction for the following reasons:
First of all, long-term mental stress can lead to endocrine disorders in the body, increase blood viscosity, and then increase the risk of thrombosis. For example, a survey of 500 patients with cerebral infarction showed that nearly 60% of patients had chronic mental stress.
In order to better manage emotions and prevent cerebral infarction, the following useful methods are recommended:
Stress can be relieved through exercise. Moderate exercise can not only promote physical health, but also release stress and maintain a good state of mind.
Through these methods, emotional management can be effectively improved and the risk of cerebral infarction can be reduced.
Studies have shown that good social support can significantly reduce mental stress and improve emotional state.
It is advisable to communicate with family and friends to share your feelings and troubles and get emotional support.
Through these methods, emotional management can be effectively improved, thereby reducing the risk of cerebral infarction.
Lao Zhao's further changes
With Dr. Chen's advice and his own practice, Lao Zhao gradually mastered the methods of emotional management.
In terms of socialization, Lao Zhao has also improved.
These changes have significantly improved Lao Zhao's emotional management, and his mental state is much better than before.
Two years later, Lao Zhao came to the hospital again for a physical examination.
When Dr. Chen saw the results of Lao Zhao's examination, he was very satisfied and said:
"Lao Zhao, your physical condition is much better than two years ago. Blood pressure is normal, blood lipids are well controlled, and most importantly, the risk of cerebral infarction is greatly reduced. ”
After hearing this, Lao Zhao felt that his efforts were not in vain.
He sighed and sighed: "It seems that healthy lifestyle habits and good emotional management are really the key to preventing cerebral infarction." ”
