Features: Both cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction are diseases caused by the obstruction of blood vessels due to impaired blood circulation in the body. They have high incidence rates, high mortality rates, and severely endanger physical health. Therefore, preventive measures to prevent these conditions from occurring in the first place naturally become a strong desire for those who wish to maintain good health. Cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction are both caused by the obstruction of blood vessels in the human body. The main reason for blood vessel obstruction is impaired blood circulation in the body, which leads to thickening of the arterial vessel walls, tortuosity of the lumen, and easy adhesion and aggregation of platelets, forming thrombi (blood atherosclerosis in plaque form), ultimately resulting in stenosis or blockage of the blood vessel lumen, causing local necrosis of the brain and heart muscle.
Regarding the preventive measures for these two diseases, the primary goal is to ensure that blood circulation remains unobstructed at all times. The key to maintaining unobstructed blood circulation is closely related to people's correct daily living habits, with dietary habits being particularly important. If excessive fat, salt, and high-calorie foods are consumed in daily diet, and nutritional balance is not paid attention to, the risk of developing cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction will increase. However, if fish and vegetables, which are effective in promoting blood circulation, are made the focus of daily meals, and a good dietary habit of paying attention to nutritional balance is developed, then cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction can be prevented.
In this book, the author simplifies the effects of various food ingredients in promoting blood flow into a scoring system called "anti-thrombotic points," and clearly explains various dietary issues such as "what to eat," "how much to eat," and "how to eat" in a concise and straightforward manner. It is hoped that readers will choose recipes with "higher anti-thrombotic points" from this book to cook and consume, in order to maintain unobstructed blood circulation, reduce the incidence of cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction, and thus enjoy a wonderful life of health every day and peace every year.
