Stroke Prevention Made Easy: Essential Tips for a Healthy Life

A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, either by a blockage or a burst blood vessel, leading to brain damage. It's a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, but the good news is that many strokes are preventable.

Recognizing the Risk Factors

Several factors increase the risk of stroke, including high blood pressure, smoking, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle. Family history and age are also significant contributors. However, adopting healthy habits can greatly reduce these risks.

Embrace a Healthy Diet and Active Lifestyle

A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins is essential. Reducing salt intake helps manage blood pressure, while avoiding excessive sugar and unhealthy fats can prevent obesity and diabetes—both major stroke risk factors.

Regular exercise, such as brisk walking, swimming, or cycling, strengthens the heart and improves circulation, further lowering stroke risk. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate activity most days of the week.

Supplements for Stroke Prevention

Certain supplements can support brain health and circulation. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish oil, help reduce inflammation and maintain healthy blood vessels. Coenzyme Q10 and magnesium can also support cardiovascular health. For those recovering from a stroke, these supplements may assist in the rehabilitation process.

Commit to a Healthier Lifestyle

Preventing stroke requires a commitment to a healthy lifestyle. By eating well, staying active, and considering the right supplements, you can significantly lower your risk and lead a life of vitality and wellness.

Can we please get something straight here??

Mitch McConnell has supported Donald Trump and will support him again if Trump wins the Republican nomination. I have never supported Trump and I never will.

Mitch McConnell has been a willing tool of the NRA and helped pass countless stand-your-ground laws, he has helped pave the way for laws like permitless carry, and he has helped make guns easier for anyone to get. I have not.

Mitch McConnell has helped pass laws that intentionally suppress the votes of millions and millions Black people. I have not.

Mitch McConnell has helped write or pass laws that deny millions of women access to reproductive health care. I have not.

Mitch McConnell has helped write or pass laws that deny basic healthcare and living wages to millions of poor people. I have not.

I AM NOW AND I WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER than Mitch McConnell and Republicans, because my wishes do not have any material impact on anyone, unlike the myriad of hateful draconian laws that Mitch McConnell has helped to pass.

I could continue, but hopefully I’ve made my point: people sending Mitch McConnell “ill wishes” IS NOT being “just the same” as Mitch McConnell and Republicans, and it doesn’t make anyone “as bad as” McConnell and the GOP.

Are you fucking kidding me??

Saying that my wishes = McConnell’s actions is a false equivalence. It’s false, it’s offensive and it’s gaslighting.

Mitch McConnell is an elected politician who has a very long history of using his political power to actively harm the poor, marginalized communities, women, LGBTQ people, and non-Christian, non-white people. If you cannot differentiate between the words and the unenforceable “wishes” of the oppressed vs. the actions of an oppressor, then you have some serious problems to unpack.

I could ~almost~ see it if there was some chance that a Republican would go, “Oh wow, those progressives are being nice to Mitch McConnell, maybe I’ll stop being a racist and vote for a Democrat now.” But that almost never ever happens, does it??

You are not going to win over a Republican by being kind. Their entire ideology is based on racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and cruelty.

Look, I’m not tryna write a dissertation here, but please believe me when I say that this neoliberal knee jerk Pollyanna reaction of, “turn the other cheek” and “be kinder to your oppressors” is very much rooted in Christofascism + white supremacy. It’s a weaponization of the “hate breeds hate” trope and the “forgiveness narrative” meant to tame slaves, and I refuse to fall for it.

I absolutely positively do not wish Mitch McConnell well, and HELL NO, I am not being a bad person for hoping that a racist, evil, old white man suffers a fraction of the pain he has inflicted on others for decades and decades.

I am a proud member of the #MitchMcConnellDieChallenge community.

That all said, at the very least, Mitch McConnell has unintentionally provided us with a teachable moment: please learn to spot the warning signs of someone having a stroke

The anniversary of my mini strokes are in the next couple of days.

I was just 24 when it happened, so it can happen at any age.

The day before I was hospitalized, I lost vision in my left eye and then it came back after I was done work.

The next night, I couldn't walk. I was lucky I didn't hit my head as I felt a bang go off in my head and went sideways and couldn't walk down the stairs.

I was at the hospital in under an hour.

Time is crucial when this happens.

so, uh, what incredibly lame-ass excuse for '''kuchiki business''' did byakuya claim he needed to attend to in the shattered remains of the seireitei in order to ditch rukia and renji so he didn't have to see them gross-flirting?

[monksexualizer]

i made what i think will be a baklava to blow my tits clean off today . proud of myself

reciple

syrup:

100g white sugar

100g water

around 1 cup honey (much better to use nice honey like wildflower etc instead of generic stuff - it really improves the flavor)

2 whole cloves

a few cardamom pods

1-1 1/2 tsp rose water (to taste)

put the water and sugar along with the spices onto a pan on the stove and heat it until the sugar dissolves. then add the honey and rose water and simmer until it reaches a sufficiently thick consistency. let cool completely.

filling:

6oz each walnuts, hazelnuts, and pistachios, chopped fine (you can change the ratios of different nut types around if you want)

around 50g butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1tbsp cinnamon

pinch of ground cloves

pinch of salt

chop or food process the nuts until they are in small pieces. it's not strictly necessary, but you can also toast them lightly in the oven either before or after you chop them.

then add the sugar, spices, and salt, and the butter. mix until well combined.

pastry:

1 package of store bought filo pastry. you know im not making that shit myself

assemble the pastry by cutting the filo into the shape of your baking vessel, then begin by laying down a layer of filo, then coating the top with melted butter. repeat this until you have around 6-8 layers of filo. then add half the filling and smooth it out on top of the pastry. add another 6-8 layers of the dough, then add the rest of the filling on top of this. then add your remaining 6-8 layers of filo on top, brushing the very topmost one with melted butter also. then cut the baklava into slices before baking.

bake at 175 c/350 f for around 35 minutes.

pour the syrup onto the hot pastry right after it comes out of the oven.

Hot take, but everyone should be taught the symptoms and signs of a stroke. This should be a mandatory lesson in school.

Anyone could have a stroke, at any time, including you, the person reading this! If you were having a stroke wouldn't you want someone to be able to quickly identify it and get you help before it got really bad? Brain damage is fucking serious, and yet it's the butt of so many jokes and ehat most people know about it is the "burnt toast smell" which can be caused by many things.

So, as someone who has forced my mother to let me do her annual stroke test assessment to make sure she still knoes the stroke signs and everything, here are some things you can do to try and determine if someone is having a stroke. (Yes I passed the test everytime I did it and my mother would watch it with me)

Has their face drooped? Ask them to smile wide and if one or both sides of their face are drooping, they may be having a stroke. Call 911 or whatever emergency services

After this, ask them if you can touch their arms and legs to see if they can feel it. If they do not say yes or some affirmative DO NOT TOUCH THEM. Consent isn't just for sex, and this person is most likely going through a very traumatic sscenario. If they say yes, have them close their eyes and tell you which body part and or side you are touching them on. Let the 911 operator know your findings, and if they say no move on to the next step.

Test their speech. Have them say "I want my mother/mama" Can they say "a cactus is prickly"? If their speech is slurred then this is a sign of a stroke. Tell the 911 operator how severe the slurring is.

Have them try to raise their arms and legs. Let the operator know if they can or cannot raise any of their limbs, or if they have any difficulty.

Finally, ask them what year it is, what day it is, who's the president, where they are, etc. If they answer any of these questions wrong (especially if it seems like a really random answer) let the operator know.

Hopefully this helps someone. And please, for the love of fuck, treat stroke patients and survivors and people with brain damage like normal fucking people. Don't baby them and shit, and treat then like how you'd treat anyone else.

finally found a place to read With the Light online and i'm thrilled; if you haven't read this manga i do Legitimately recommend it

[starlooove]

I already said this but if u make Aisha the tallest in ur fanart i hate u a lil

[arctic-hands]

I suggested that maybe the city should postpone having a giant outdoor festival so it wouldn't coincide with a triple-digit heat dome extreme weather event and you would think I insulted the strength and stamina of every single person in Baltimore 🙄

[aussie-bookworm]

You ever just have a dream about a TTRPG that doesn’t exist but you really fuckin want to play it now

[leechloach]

Came the closest I've been to having a full blown meltdown in a grocery store in probably five years today

[splynter]

I will be answering more character directed asks later. My iPad needs to charge and I’m procrastinating on school

But feel free to keep sending stuff if you want, and if you have any out of character questions then I’ll probably quickly answer :]

[the-oracle-of-the-lost]

would also add that elderly people and a lot of disabled people are much more susceptible to heat stroke & its effects and are less able to care for themselves so please check up on your neighbors and other elderly/disabled people you might know! if you can – offering to run errands, pick up groceries, or do lawncare can be a big help in keeping people safe.

For all of the northerners that stood up for Texas during our freeze and said, "Don't make fun of them, they've never dealt with this before. Their infrastructure isn't made for snow and freezing."

This one is for you.

Where I live 108°F with 80% humidity with no wind is normal.

Pacific North West is dealing historic best waves 35-40°C or 95-105°F.

First of all. Don't make fun of them for bitching about the heat. Just like Texas isn't built for a freeze and our pipes burst, Pacific North West isn't built for heat and a lot of their homes don't have AC.

If you live somewhere with a high humidity like 80+ HUMIDITY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. The "humidity makes it feel cooler" is a lie once it gets beyond a point.

If you live somewhere with a lower humidity, misters are nice to cool off outside.

Once you get over 90°F (32°C) a fan will not help you. It's just pushing around hot air. (I mean if you can't afford a small AC unit because they're expensive as hell, by all means a fan is better than nothing).

If you have pets, those portable AC units aren't safe. If your pets destroy the outtake thing, it'll leak CO2. Window units are safer.

Window AC units will let mosquitoes or other small bugs in. Sucks, but that's life.

Now is not the time to me modest. If you have to cover for religious reasons, by all means. If you don't, I've seen people wear short shorts and a swim top. It's not trashy if it keeps you from getting heat stroke.

If you do have to cover up for religious reasons, look for elephant pants or something similar. They're made with a breathable material.

Shade is better than no shade, but that shit it just diet sun after some point. Don't think shade will save you from heat stroke.

I know the "drink your water" is a fun meme now, but if you're sweating excessively you need electrolytes. Drink Gatorade, Powerade, or Pedialite PLEASE. I don't care if you're fucking sitting in one spot all day. That shit WILL save you from heat stroke.

Most importantly. RESEARCH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAT STROKE AND HEAT EXHAUSTION PLEASE!

If you're diabetic and can't drink Gatorade, mix water, fruit juice, and either lite salt or pink salt

If you can afford it, cover windows with thick curtains to insulate the house

If you have tile floors, lay on them with skin to tile contact. If you don't, laying your head on cool counters works too.

If the temperature where you're at is hotter than your body temperature, don't wear heat wicking clothing. Moisture wicking is safe though.

Check your medication labels. Many make you more susceptible to sun and heat

-Room temperature water will get into your body faster. This is something I learned doing marching band in high summer in Georgia, and it saved all of our asses. Sip it, don't gulp it, especially if you're getting into the red; same goes for whatever fluid you're drinking. And just in general drink during the day.

-If you are moving from an air conditioned space to an un-air conditioned space, if at all possible try to make the shift gradual. When my dad and I were working outside and in un-ac houses a few years ago, he'd turn the air down to low in the truck about ten-fifteen minutes before we got where we were going. This way your body doesn't go from low low temps to high temps. S'bad for you.

-If you can, keep your lights off during the day. Light bulbs may not generate a lot of heat, but the difference is noticeable when it gets hot enough. I literally only turn my bedroom light on in the evening when it gets too dark.

Don't be afraid to just like... pour water on yourself if you need to. The evaporation will cool you off.

Put your hand to the cement for 15 seconds. If you can't handle the heat, it'll burn your dog's paws. Don't let them walk on it.

Dogs with flat faces are more prone to heat stroke. Don't leave them out unsupervised.

Frozen fruit is delicious in water.

Wet/Cold hat/handkerchief on your head/neck will help you stay cool.

Pickle juice is great for electrolytes! You can even make pickle juice Popsicles!

Heat exhaustion is more, "drink water and get you cooled off." Heat stroke is more "Oh my god call 911."

Image Description provided by @loveize

[Image description: an infographic showing the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The graphic is labeled "Heat Dangers: First Warning." Signs of heat exhaustion: faint or dizzy, excessive sweating, cool, pale, clammy skin, rapid, weak pulse, muscle cramps. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat exhaustion, get to a cool, air-conditioned place, drink water if conscious, and take a cool shower or use cold compress. Signs of heat stroke: throbbing headache, no sweating, red, hot, dry skin, rapid, strong pulse, may lose consciousness. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat stroke, call 911.

Be safe.

Stroke: A medical emergency not to be ignored

A cerebrovascular accident (CVA), often referred to as a ‘stroke’, is a serious medical event that occurs when part of the brain is deprived of oxygen due to a problem with blood circulation. This oxygen deprivation can lead to irreversible brain damage and significant after-effects, ranging from mild to very serious.

How does a stroke occur?

There are two main types of stroke:

- Ischaemic stroke: This is the most common type. It occurs when a blood clot blocks a cerebral artery, preventing blood from reaching an area of the brain. The clot may form directly in the affected cerebral artery (thrombosis) or come from another part of the body (embolism).

- Haemorrhagic stroke: In this case, a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, causing a haemorrhage that compresses the surrounding brain tissue. This rupture may be due to high blood pressure, an aneurysm (dilation of a blood vessel) or an arteriovenous malformation.

What are the consequences of a stroke?

The consequences of a stroke depend on the size of the area of the brain affected, its location and the speed with which it is treated. Symptoms may vary from person to person but may include:

- Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, face or limb (hemiparesis or hemiplegia)

- Difficulty speaking or understanding (aphasia)

- Impaired vision in one or both eyes (hemianopsia)

- Dizziness, loss of balance or difficulty walking

- Sudden severe headaches

- Swallowing problems

- Altered consciousness

The after-effects of a stroke can be temporary or permanent and can affect a wide range of functions, such as mobility, sensitivity, language, memory and independence.

What are the risk factors for stroke?

Many factors can increase the risk of stroke. The main ones are

- High blood pressure: This is the most important risk factor.

- Heart disease: such as atrial fibrillation, heart failure or heart valve disease.

- Diabetes

- High cholesterol

- Smoking

- Obesity

- advanced age

- Family history of stroke

How can stroke be prevented?

Stroke prevention is based on controlling risk factors. Here are a few tips:

- Maintain normal blood pressure

- Practise regular physical activity

- Eat a balanced diet

- Stop smoking

- Control cholesterol and diabetes

- See a doctor regularly to monitor your cardiovascular health

In the event of a stroke, act quickly! Stroke is a medical emergency. Every minute counts, because brain cells deprived of oxygen die quickly. If you or someone you know is showing symptoms of a stroke, call emergency services immediately

World Stroke Day: Study Reveals Why Women Face Higher Stroke Risks Than Men

New Delhi: Hormonal changes caused due to pregnancy, or the use of oral contraceptives, and the longer life expectancy are some of the reasons that explain the higher incidences of strokes among women than men, said experts on World Stroke Day on Tuesday.  Stroke is a major cause of disability and death for all people worldwide. But, it is the third leading cause of death in women and kills more…
