The surgeon talked about the habits that lead to stroke

The worst habit that causes strokes is the habit of not monitoring blood pressure, said Alexander Umnov, senior lecturer at the Department of Surgery at the Medical Faculty of the State University of Education, on June 1.

According to the doctor, many people are used to not measuring blood pressure or knocking it down with a pill and not paying further attention to the disease. However, if blood pressure is systematically elevated, you should consult a doctor who will prescribe a system of medications for the morning and evening, explained Umnov.

The specialist also warned that the systematic consumption of any sweet products in large quantities damages blood vessels from the inside. The situation is aggravated if a person leads a sedentary lifestyle, which slows down blood circulation, disrupts metabolism, and increases the risk of diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure, Umnov emphasized.

"The second bad habit is that, as a rule, people eat whatever they want, that is, they do not think about the content of their diet, they do not evaluate the content of useful elements on their plate. <...> That is, they do not think about how balanced their diet is," he warned in an interview with Lenta.Ru.

The surgeon added that smoking spasms blood vessels and forms plaques — the smoker gets a whole bunch of problems from vascular spasms to hormonal failure. The same can be said about alcohol, because regular alcohol consumption is always a violation of the heart rhythm, dehydration, pressure drops, he noted.

"The habit of stress, dealing with scandals, conflict and reacting to all stimuli abruptly, with screaming, crying and internal shock is a direct blow to the blood vessels, such people are more likely to suffer from insomnia, which also provokes a violation of the heart rhythm, pressure, undermines the normal functioning of the body," warned Umnov.
