26-year-old man suffers stroke while sitting at his desk, admits to having a habit many young Vietnamese people have

GDXH - Most of the three meals of this young man who had a stroke included fried foods. These are foods that contain large amounts of trans fat, saturated fat, sugar and sodium, which, if eaten for a long time, will cause great harm to the body.

A 26-year-old man in China was sitting at work when he suddenly felt weakness in his right arm and could not move it, so his family took him to the hospital for examination.

After examination and tests, the doctors concluded that the patient had suffered a stroke . The doctors performed emergency thrombectomy. After 5 days of hospitalization, the patient was discharged home.

The doctor recommended that after recovering from this stroke, the patient should lose weight to prevent a recurrence of the stroke. Because his weight exceeded the allowable index (weighing 120kg even though he was only 1.65m tall, with a BMI of 45.7), high blood pressure, high blood fat... These are risk factors for causing an acute stroke.

Blood tests also showed poor metabolism, clogged blood vessels, and an unhealthy diet that produced toxins and free radicals, increasing the burden on the liver.

Causes of obesity and stroke in young people

According to the doctor, the test results showed that the young man was seriously obese, with all indicators exceeding the allowable standards. The key to this condition was that most of the young man's three meals included fried foods. Doctors warned that such foods contain large amounts of trans fat, saturated fat, sugar and sodium, which, if eaten for a long time, will cause great harm to the body.

Fried foods contain a lot of trans fat and saturated fat, which can increase bad cholesterol (LDL) and decrease good cholesterol (HDL), leading to the risk of arteriosclerosis, heart disease and stroke. The ingredients and sauces in fried foods contain a lot of sugar, increasing blood sugar, long-term consumption leads to insulin resistance, increasing the risk of diabetes.

In addition, cooking at high temperatures can create harmful oxidants, long-term use of which can cause chronic inflammation and metabolic syndrome. Meanwhile, the high sodium content in fried foods increases blood pressure, putting a burden on the heart and kidneys.

Diet helps to recover quickly after stroke

Increase green vegetables

Experts recommend that people after a stroke should eat lots of green vegetables, asparagus, carrots, etc. At the same time, be careful if you plan to eat foods that cover vegetables. If you plan to eat a salad with bacon or cheese, it is best to replace vinegar in the salad, and consider adding nuts to keep the meal full of healthy green vegetables.

Increase beans

Beans are low in fat and rich in folate (vitamin B9), potassium, iron, and magnesium. They are also cholesterol-free and high in fiber.

Increase intake of fish and poultry instead of red meat

Studies show that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, or a diet that includes fish and no meat, reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Fish contains healthy fats — unsaturated fats include monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, both of which are recognized for their heart-healthy benefits.

Avoid processed foods

Packaged processed foods such as crackers, some breads, potato chips, etc. are often high in sugar and salt, which can contribute to ischemic stroke.

Some studies show that women who drink one or more sugary drinks such as soda, energy drinks... have a 20% higher risk of stroke than women who rarely drink sugary drinks. Excess sugar causes weight gain and diabetes, both of which are risk factors for stroke.

In addition, you need to maintain physical exercise to promote metabolism. Maintain a regular schedule, do not stay up late and maintain physical and mental health, so that you can avoid the risk of disease.
