A Stroke (cerebrovascular
accident-CVA) is a brain attack & a medical emergency that
requires immediate treatment. It occurs suddenly when the blood flow to an area of the brain is either cut off or severely reduced.
Brain cells are deprived of oxygen & nutrients and, within minutes, begin
to die causing the abilities controlled by the affected area (memo-ry, speech,
vision, thinking, muscle control) to be lost.
The interruption in the blood
supply is caused either by a blood clot in Ischemic Stroke, the most frequent, or by
the rupture of cerebral blood vessels in
Hemorrhagic Stroke. A
mini-stroke or Transient Ischemic
Attack (TIA) is when the symptoms last a few minutes.
Know the causes & risk factors described below:
REMEMBER
Stroke, a
silent killer, is the third cause of death worldwide.
During a stroke the flow
of oxygenated blood is blocked to a portion of your brain. Without oxygen,
brain cells start to die after a few minutes. So, every minute counts.
Focus on preventing & aim at eliminating the risks of
suffering a stroke. The natural remedies I describe in this video, excluding
sedentary lifestyle & smoking, will help you with that.
If you notice sudden speech disorders, loss of balance,
unilateral limb paralysis or numbness DO NOT delay & go to hospital right
away to receive thrombolytic
treatment.
Any
cardiovascular disease, particularly atrial fibrillation dangerously increases
your risk of suffering a stroke.
Take good care of your heart and circulatory system.
