The scorching heat of the dog days of summer not only makes people feel bored and tired, but also hides huge hidden health risks. In recent years, the mortality rate of cerebral infarction has increased significantly, which has become a serious challenge in the field of health. Cerebral infarction, that is, cerebral infarction, as a severe representative of acute cerebrovascular disease, occurs from the sudden interruption of cerebral blood flow, resulting in the dilemma of ischemia and hypoxia in brain tissue, and eventually leads to necrosis, which is too harmful to be ignored. In the heat of summer, the human blood tends to thicken, which can easily promote thrombosis, which in turn induces an increased risk of cerebral infarction. Therefore, doctors especially remind us that we must pay attention to the following four aspects on dog days to prevent cerebral infarction.
As a retired teacher, Mr. Zhang, who is a retired teacher, has always been physically fit and devotes himself to exercising every morning. In the dog season of last year's scorching heat, one morning, Mr. Zhang followed the routine and embarked on the journey of morning jogging. In an instant, Mr. Zhang suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous, and before he could react, his body had fallen to the ground. He was immediately sent to the hospital for treatment, and after a detailed diagnosis by a senior physician, it was determined that Mr. Zhang had a sudden acute cerebral infarction, and his condition was urgent and needed immediate treatment. Although Mr. Zhang's life was saved after emergency rescue, the left side of his body was paralyzed and his speech function was severely affected. This sudden incident really made Mr. Zhang's family feel a big stone in their hearts, and they became financially nervous all of a sudden. The doctor pointed out that if Mr. Zhang had taken proper precautions in the hot weather, the disaster might have been averted.
1. Scientific hydration, ensure adequate water intake, and effectively prevent dehydration.
In the summer, the sun is shining hotly, and when people sweat, it is like turning on the faucet, and the water in the body is gone, so you have to drink some water to replenish it. If water is not replenished in time, the blood will become more viscous, increasing the risk of thrombosis, which may induce serious consequences such as cerebral infarction. Therefore, the doctor specially advised that in these dog days, we must drink enough 2 to 3 liters of water every day to make the body full of water, so that we can be healthy! In particular, the elderly need to establish a regular drinking schedule to prevent the rush to replenish water when they are thirsty, which will adversely affect their health.

2. Arrange exercise time reasonably
On this hot day, as soon as the dog days come, you have to be careful when exercising, and if you move in a hot environment, the risk is not small. It is very dangerous to do strenuous exercise in the hot morning or midday like Mr. Zhang. The doctor warmly reminds that it is better to carry out relaxing and suitable exercise activities such as walking in the woods and playing tai chi in the early morning when the breeze is blowing in the morning or when the evening is cool and pleasant, so as to effectively avoid the risk of high temperature outdoor sports under the scorching sun at noon. At the same time, you should pay attention to proper rest when exercising to avoid excessive fatigue and heat stroke.
3. Pay attention to your diet and control your blood lipids
Hot weather can cause a loss of appetite, but a balanced diet is especially important for health. People with high blood lipids must carefully adjust their diet and strictly limit the intake of high-fat and high-cholesterol foods to maintain the stability of blood lipid indicators. Doctors recommend eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, moderate intake of high-quality protein, such as fish, chicken and soy products, and avoiding high-salt, high-fat and fried foods. People with high blood lipids must carefully adjust their diet and strictly limit the intake of high-fat and high-cholesterol foods to maintain the stability of blood lipid indicators. In addition, it is necessary to regulate the total amount of food and drink, strictly prevent excessive eating, and cultivate and adhere to healthy eating habits.
4. Pay attention to your body's signals and seek medical attention in time
On dog days, especially the elderly and people with a history of chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, special attention should be paid to abnormal signals in the body, such as dizziness, chest tightness, blurred vision, limb weakness, etc. Such signs may indicate the early stage of cerebral infarction, and once it is detected, it is important to stop activities immediately and seek medical attention quickly. The doctor emphasized that the golden window for the treatment of cerebral infarction lies in the early intervention within 3 to 6 hours after the onset of the disease, and the recovery effect is more significant. In view of this, it is advisable to maintain a high level of vigilance and be keenly aware of any signs of abnormality in the body.
To prevent cerebral infarction, start from the details
Preventing cerebral infarction is not only a temporary need in hot weather, but a healthy lifestyle that needs to be adhered to for a long time. Here are some details from your daily life to help you effectively prevent cerebral infarction:
Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Quit smoking, limit alcohol, and maintain moderate exercise and a regular routine.
Regular health check-ups are crucial: especially for people with a family history or chronic diseases, it is important to have regular comprehensive health check-ups and carefully monitor key health indicators such as blood pressure, blood lipids and blood sugar to ensure early detection and early intervention.
Manage emotions: Maintain an optimistic mindset and avoid excessive mood swings and stress.
Listen to the doctor's words and take medicine well: If you have a chronic disease and have to take medicine for a long time, then you have to follow the doctor's instructions honestly, and don't stop the medicine or change the dosage of the medicine yourself.
The heat of dog days is not only unbearable, but also a health hazard. With the help of scientific water intake, proper exercise, balanced diet and timely medical intervention, we can significantly reduce the risk of cerebral infarction. Especially for the elderly and patients with chronic diseases, it is necessary to be more vigilant and take the initiative to adopt preventive strategies to prevent the occurrence of adverse health events. Mr. Zhang's personal experience is like a wake-up call, a profound warning that health is not child's play, and that every small lifestyle habit can have a profound impact on the quality of life, and we must be cautious.
