Can people with cerebral embolism eat pork?
Patients with cerebral embolism generally suffer from heart diseases. For example, myocardial infarction can cause mural thrombi or atrial fibrillation, leading to thrombi in the left atrial appendage. These thrombi may detach and enter the cerebral arteries, resulting in cerebral embolism. The onset is quite severe, with patients rapidly developing symptoms that quickly peak. Clinical manifestations may include speech impairment, limb paralysis, and numbness. In severe cases, due to extensive damage, patients may experience coma or even death. Patients with cerebral embolism can consume small amounts of pork, but it is advisable to eat mainly lean pork. Lean pork contains some protein and B vitamins, which are beneficial for brain recovery. It is not advisable to eat fatty parts, as they can increase blood lipids and lead to arteriosclerosis.
