Dr. Lv Zhiqin
Rehabilitation from cerebrovascular disease requires attention to the following aspects:
1. Psychological care: Patients and their families should maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, build confidence in overcoming the disease, and avoid impatience or excessive pessimism, which may affect the rehabilitation outcome.
2. Balanced diet: The diet should be nutritionally adequate, well-balanced, and easy to digest. Follow the principles of low salt, low fat, and low sugar intake. Avoid excessive consumption of high-fat and high-calorie foods. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and moderately consume protein-rich foods.
3. Appropriate exercise: Develop a suitable exercise plan according to the patient's specific condition, such as walking or practicing Tai Chi. Avoid strenuous exercise to promote blood circulation and recovery of physical function.
4. Regular follow-up: Follow the doctor's recommendations for regular check-ups of blood pressure, blood lipids, blood glucose, and other indicators. Adjust the treatment plan promptly to prevent recurrence or worsening of the condition.
5. Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Quit smoking, limit alcohol consumption, avoid staying up late and excessive fatigue, and maintain good作息 habits and emotional well-being, which contribute to overall physical recovery.
