A stroke can change a person’s life in less than a minute! A few lifestyle changes and knowing certain facts about stroke can help you prevent it.
Signs of stroke:
- A sudden weakness or numbness in arms, legs or face on one side of the body.
- Confusion, slurred speech or trouble in speaking.
- Dizziness and trouble in walking.
- Loss of balance, poor eyesight or diminishing vision.
- A sudden headache without any reason.
People with these symptoms can be suspected of stroke! But these can be prevented by an effective but simple way of exercise. Hypertension, elevated cholesterol and diabetes enhance your risk for stroke! Aerobic exercise can help you lose extra pounds and reducing salt intake is beneficial for those having hypertension. A smoker has twice the likely risk of a stroke than a non-smoker! Smoking causes damage of blood vessels and raises the blood pressure. When someone has a stroke, he may experience the full range of symptoms or none at all! Only a few can fully recover after suffering a stroke. Leading a healthy lifestyle and a good diet are important. Last of all, the most effective way to prevent damage due to stroke is by recognizing the signs of an attack and seeking medical care immediately!
