This article will combine the hot data of the past 10 days to compile a list of meats that patients with cerebral infarction need to strictly limit or avoid, and provide scientific alternative suggestions.

|---|---|---|---|
| Fatty meat (pork belly, pork trotters) | Saturated fatty acids, cholesterol | Increase blood viscosity and accelerate arteriosclerosis | Chicken breast, rabbit meat |
| Processed meat (sausage, bacon) | Nitrite, preservatives | Cause inflammation of blood vessels and increase blood pressure | Fresh fish, soy products |
| Animal offal (pork liver, brains) | Purine, cholesterol | Induces hyperuricemia and affects blood flow | Kelp, fungus |

Recent hot research supplements:

1.Red meat controversy:The latest research in May 2024 pointed out that daily red meat intake of more than 100 grams will increase the risk of cerebral infarction by 18%, and it is recommended to control it within 300 grams per week.
2.Processed meat warning:The World Health Organization (WHO) reiterates that processed meat is a category 1 carcinogen and should be completely avoided by patients with cerebral infarction.
Key principles for dietary modification:
•Low fat and high protein:Prefer fish (rich in Omega-3) and skinless poultry
•Cooking method:Steaming, boiling and stewing are better than frying
•Matching plan:Meat should not exceed 1/4 of the total food intake at each meal, and should be paired with more than 200 grams of vegetables
Special reminder from experts:The daily cholesterol intake of patients with cerebral infarction should be <300 mg (equivalent to 1 egg yolk), and those with hyperlipidemia should have <200 mg. Regular testing of homocysteine levels is recommended, and some patients may need to limit meats high in methionine (such as beef).
Note: The above data is based on the National Health Commission's "Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Stroke" and the latest research results of the International Stroke Conference in May 2024.
