Cerebral hypoperfusion, commonly referred to as insufficient cerebral blood supply, is a common cerebrovascular disease. Below are some dietary recommendations:
1. Consume foods rich in vitamins and minerals: Eat more foods rich in vitamin B12, folic acid, vitamin C, and antioxidants, such as milk, sea fish, liver, legumes, vegetables, and fruits. These foods help promote blood circulation and improve vascular elasticity.
2. Consume foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids: Such as linoleic acid and omega-3 fatty acids, which are mainly found in olive oil, hazelnut oil, walnuts, and deep-sea fish. These fatty acids help lower blood lipids, reduce the risk of thrombosis, and thereby improve cerebral blood supply.
3. Increase dietary fiber intake: Eat more fiber-rich foods such as oats, whole grains, and legumes. Dietary fiber helps lower cholesterol and triglycerides, improving vascular health.
If symptoms of cerebral hypoperfusion occur, prompt medical attention is necessary.
