10 years old can also have a stroke?
A Taiwanese toxicology nurse said that because of one eating habit in a local family, even a boy in his teens suffered from high blood pressure, and three had strokes. Experts pointed out that this is because the family often eats a kind of meat and cooking oil, which is high in saturated fat and is sick. The Hong Kong Department of Health pointed out that saturated fat makes the blood more likely to coagulate, which can lead to arteriosclerosis, stroke, heart disease and other diseases.
1 dietary habit causes high blood pressure and stroke.
1 Diet Habit Causes Hypertension and Stroke
Tan Dunci, a Taiwan toxicology nurseThe program “The Doctor is Hot”The shared case refers to a family who sold pork for a living. The whole family ate pork for three meals and cooked with lard. As a result, a boy in his teens suffered from high blood pressure, and three family members had strokes. She pointed out that lard is high in saturated fatty acids and can be used occasionally for seasoning, but it should not be added to all dishes.

Tan Dunci said that there is no absolute good or bad cooking oil, but it is best not to use one kind of oil to the end, you can try different cooking oils. She quoted the recommendation of the American College of Cardiology that when choosing cooking oil, the higher the monounsaturated fatty acid, the better, because it can increase the body’s good cholesterol; if the saturated fatty acid is higher, it will increase the bad cholesterol in the body.
Saturated fat increases stroke risk
According to the Hong Kong Department of Health, fat is basically composed of 1 glycerol molecule and 3 fatty acid molecules. Common fats in food can be divided into two categories: “saturated fat” and “unsaturated fat”. Excessive intake of the former will increase the risk of disease, while the latter can reduce cholesterol levels.
Saturated fat
It makes blood more likely to coagulate, leading to arteriosclerosis, stroke, heart disease and other diseases, and promotes the production of cholesterol in the liver.
Excessive intake will increase the bad cholesterol in the blood, and its adverse effects are greater than eating too much cholesterol.
unsaturated fat
It can be divided into monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat, which can reduce low-density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol) in the body and keep blood vessels unblocked.
Saturated Fat VS Unsaturated Fat Foods
The Center for Food Safety lists the properties and food examples of saturated fat and unsaturated fat. In addition to reducing the intake of foods high in saturated fat, you should also eat less trans fat foods to avoid increasing the risk of disease.

Saturated fat
Saturated Fat Properties and Food Examples
Saturated Fat Properties
1. It will increase the low-density lipoprotein (soil cholesterol) in the body, thus increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke and other diseases.
2. The intake should be less than 10% (regarding 20 grams) of the total daily energy requirement.
3. It is solid at room temperature.
Food Sources of Saturated Fat
1. Animal fat
Examples: beef, lamb, pork, poultry
Examples: beef/suet fat, lard and dairy products (such as cheese, cream and whole milk)
2. Some tropical oils
Examples: palm oil, palm kernel oil, coconut oil
Saturated fat.
unsaturated fat
Unsaturated fat properties and food examples
Unsaturated Fat Properties
1. It is an important part of a healthy diet and is divided into monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat.
2. It is used to replace saturated fat, which can reduce low-density lipoprotein (low-density lipoprotein) in the body and keep blood vessels unblocked.
3. It is in liquid state at room temperature.
monounsaturated fatty foods
Oils Rich in Monounsaturated Fats
Examples: canola oil, olive oil, peanut oil, argan oil, avocado oil
The linoleic acid and linolenic acid contained in polyunsaturated fats are essential fatty acids, which cannot be synthesized by the body and must be absorbed from food. They are very important for human health.
Can dilute blood concentration, lower blood pressure and improve immune system function.
Polyunsaturated Fatty Foods Oils Rich in Polyunsaturated Fats
Examples: corn oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, safflower oil, fatty fish oils, walnut and seed oils
Precautions
Vegetable oil will be converted into trans fat following hydrogenation process. Excessive consumption will increase blood cholesterol and lower good cholesterol.
It is recommended to reduce the intake of trans fats, including: margarine and shortening foods containing trans fats, and fried and baked foods (such as shortcrust pastries, biscuits, etc.) that are made or cooked with these fats.
Vegetable saturated fats come from coconut oil, palm oil.
unsaturated fat.
Trans fat
Trans Fat Properties and Food Examples
Trans Fat Properties
1. The worst fats for heart health.
2. It is in solid state at room temperature.
3. Increase bad cholesterol in the body while reducing high-density lipoprotein (good cholesterol), increasing the risk of heart disease.
trans fat food
Most trans fats are produced industrially.
Found in foods containing partially hydrogenated oils, such as margarine, vegetable shortening, and baked/fried foods.
Meat and dairy products of cattle and sheep may contain a small amount of trans fat.
Trans fat properties.
The Center for Food Safety pointed out that fat, carbohydrates and protein are all energy sources in the human diet. Fat is the most concentrated source of energy, providing 9 kcal of energy per gram. Fat also has many other important functions in the body, such as transporting fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, and forming cell membranes.
However, eating too much fat can lead to serious health problems, including an increased risk of heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and certain cancers. To prevent the above non-communicable diseases, WHO recommends that total fat should only account for 15 to 30% of total energy intake. Taking a person whose daily energy requirement is regarding 2000 kcal as an example, only 300 to 600 kcal of daily energy intake should come from fat (regarding 33 to 67 grams).

According to Hong KongInformation from the Department of HealthIt is shown that “stroke” is caused by blockage or bursting of blood vessels in the brain, which prevents the brain tissue from receiving sufficient nutrients and oxygen, and the affected nerve cells are necrotic, resulting in various neurological symptoms.
9 major symptoms of stroke:
1. Hemiplegia
2. Slurred speech
3. crooked mouth
4. Slanting eyes
5. Difficulty swallowing
6. Incontinence
7. Feeling numb
8. Drooling
9. In severe cases, coma or death may occur
A 10-year-old boy had high blood pressure, and three members of his family had a stroke. After seeking medical advice, he revealed that he often ate 1 food and had an accident.
Ways to Prevent Stroke
According to the Department of Health, the main causes of stroke are smoking, high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis, so to prevent stroke, we must pay attention to daily living habits and avoid the occurrence of arteriosclerosis:
do not smoke
Maintain a balanced diet, eat low-fat food and reduce food with high salt content
reduce drinking
regular moderate exercise
Weight control
Get plenty of rest and avoid stress
Check your body regularly and control your blood pressure (at least once every two years)
5 formulas to recognize the warning signs of stroke
Taiwan nutritionist Gao Minmin in hisFacebook pageIt is pointed out that the key following a stroke is to grasp the golden treatment time in order to reduce the risk of disability and death. She also listed the formula “BE-FAST” for distinguishing and dealing with stroke, calling on the public to seek medical attention immediately if they find themselves or their loved ones suddenly experiencing any symptoms:
Recognize and cope with stroke formula BE-FAST
1. Balance out of balance
