Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Yang Ziqi
Patients with cerebral thrombosis should choose foods beneficial to vascular health to assist in controlling and recovering from their condition. The following foods are recommended:
1. Foods rich in high-quality protein: such as fish, chicken, legumes and soy products, eggs, etc., which help maintain normal body metabolism and enhance resistance.
2. Fresh vegetables and fruits: vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, carrots, etc., and fruits such as apples, bananas, oranges, etc., rich in vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, which help reduce blood viscosity and lower the risk of thrombosis.
3. Whole grain foods: such as brown rice, oats, whole wheat bread, etc., rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals, which help control blood sugar and lipid levels.
4. Foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids: such as olive oil, fish oil, nuts, etc., which help regulate blood lipids and improve vascular endothelial function.
Low-fat dairy products: such as low-fat milk, yogurt, etc., which provide high-quality protein and calcium without increasing the burden of blood lipids.
The above foods are beneficial for cardiovascular health but cannot replace prescribed medications. Patients with risk of or who have already developed cerebral thrombosis should follow their physician's guidance.
