matters needing attention

Physical exercise is helpful to the recovery of hemiplegia; It can strengthen physique, improve disease resistance and delay aging; It can enhance the heart function, improve the elasticity of blood vessels, promote the blood circulation of the whole body, and improve the blood flow of the brain; It can reduce blood pressure, dilate blood vessels, accelerate blood flow, and reduce blood viscosity and platelet aggregation, so as to reduce thrombosis; Can promote lipid metabolism, improve the content of high density lipoprotein in the blood, thus can prevent arteriosclerosis. Long term exercise can reduce weight and prevent obesity. Therefore, physical exercise is an important measure to prevent hemiplegia.
