I. What conditions can cause cerebral insufficiency of blood supply?

1、Cerebral vascular atherosclerosis

High blood pressure, high blood lipids, high blood sugar if long-term poor control, or smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, sedentary and other bad habits, may lead to blood viscosity, but also vascular inflammation, plaque on the walls of blood vessels, resulting in atherosclerosis of cerebral arteries, narrowing of blood vessels, so that the blood supply to the brain tissue is reduced.

At the same time, these patients are often accompanied by obesity, metabolic disorders and other abnormalities that add to the functional impairment of blood vessels.

2. Cervical spine lesions

The arteries that pass from the cervical spine can also affect the blood supply to the brain, and cervical spine lesions can sometimes compress these blood vessels and affect the blood supply to the brain.

3. Cardiovascular diseases

Some middle-aged and elderly people have heart diseases, such as heart failure, heart attack and other diseases will affect the ejection function of the heart to the large blood vessels, so that the amount of blood circulating in the body is insufficient to meet the demand for blood supply to the brain.

If middle-aged and elderly people with high blood pressure try to lower their blood pressure faster or lower, when the blood pressure is lower than 90/60 mmHg, it will significantly affect the cerebral blood flow and cause discomfort.

Second, how to prevent insufficient blood supply to the brain?

1. Control of blood pressure

Blood pressure that is too high or too low can affect the blood supply to the brain, and people with high blood pressure need to keep it in the right range.

For those over 65 years of age, the blood pressure should be controlled below 150/90 mmHg and lowered to below 140/90 mmHg if there are no uncomfortable symptoms;

Not less than 130/60 mmHg for those over 80 years of age.

2、Control blood sugar, blood fat

Even healthy middle-aged and elderly people need to have their blood glucose and blood lipids checked every six months or once a year;

Those who already have abnormalities in blood lipids and blood glucose, actively adjust their lifestyles and standardize the use of medication to control blood glucose and blood lipids in the standard range.

3. Keeping the cervical spine healthy

No serious cervical spondylosis or activity cervical spine without dizziness, it is recommended to often do to do the neck relaxation activities, front, back, left, right, clockwise, counterclockwise direction of each pulling 3 to 5 seconds.

When sleeping, it should be noted that the head should be placed in the center of the pillow, and the lower edge of the pillow should be close to the shoulder, so as to avoid the neck falling out. The height of the pillow after sleeping under pressure is 5 cm for flat sleepers and 10 cm for side sleepers.

4. Maintain a balanced dietary nutrition

thrive on grains and cerealsFor example, millet, corn, brown rice, etc. are the main food, and more vegetables, fruits and potatoes are eaten;

On top of that, you can drink at least 250 mL of milk a day., intermittently eat some eggs, fish, beef and lamb to maintain a high quality protein intake.

Try to minimize sugar and salt during stir-frying., and the amount of oil, especially animal oil.

Alcohol cessation is recommended.If you are a habitual drinker, you should not overdo it. 1 to 2 pints of red wine and no more than 1 pint of white wine are recommended per day;

5. Maintain an effective amount of activity

Feeling that your heart is beating slightly faster during the activity but you are not straining to speak means that the activity is moderate;

Brisk walking, jogging, strolling, and tai chi are all great forms of exercise;

At least 10 minutes at a time, totaling 30 minutes or more per day, at least 5 days per week.
