Stroke (cerebrovascular accident) is extremely dangerous because it can cause rapid death, threatening life in just minutes. The disease can lead to severe sequelae such as paralysis, loss of speech ability, emotional disorders, and seriously affect neurological function and the quality of life of the patient.

Principles of stroke prevention include: maintaining a healthy lifestyle (scientific diet, regular exercise, not smoking, limiting alcohol), controlling risk factors (blood pressure, blood lipids, diabetes), regular health checkups for early detection and timely treatment, and keeping the body warm, especially in cold weather.

The following 3 vegetables help prevent blood clots:
1. Asparagus
Asparagus contains many different vitamins that can enhance the elasticity of blood vessels and contains many nutrients such as folic acid and selenium, which have a certain effect on maintaining vascular health. Furthermore, asparagus is a fiber-rich food that will help eliminate some waste in the intestines. Eating asparagus also promotes the rapid elimination of triglycerides and some metabolites in the bloodstream, thereby increasing blood circulation in the body!

2. Houttuynia cordata
Once you have blood clots or high blood lipids, you should add more Houttuynia cordata to your daily diet. Houttuynia cordata is a food rich in vitamins and fiber. It also contains a lot of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Not only does it promote the metabolism of lipid components in the body, eating Houttuynia cordata also prevents the excessive accumulation of some cholesterol in the blood vessels. In addition, mannitol in Houttuynia cordata has diuretic and blood circulation effects, and plays a role in eliminating blood clots as well as lowering blood lipids.

3. Onions
Onions not only contain many vitamins and other minerals but also sulfur-containing amino acids. This component can enhance fibrinolytic activity in the human body and has a very strong effect in dissolving blood clots, lowering blood lipids, and cleansing blood vessels. In addition, prostaglandin A found in onions can dilate blood vessels. This leads to the effect of not only helping to lower blood pressure but also quickly eliminating some waste products from the blood vessels.
