Hello this is my first post
Well the aim and purpose of this blog is discuss about prevention treatment and rehabilitation of stroke or sudden hemiparalysis occurring due to the clogging or blocking of the brain blood vessels pipes carrying blood to the brain, due to varoius reasons.
It is truly a devastating disease affecting the family the patient and our human society as a whole.
But there is good news its in our hand individually and collectively to prevent this malady.
This recent study has pointed out that ten risk factors/causative agents/things which can lead to stroke are taken care/ properly treated we can reduce the risk/possibility of its occurrence by 90%.
that means with our effort we can prevent 90% of stroke.
Ten modifiable risk factors are:
1. Treat and prevent Hypertension/ increased blood pressure
2. avoid and stop Smoking
3. Reduced weight specifically the waist line
4. Healthy diet- Indian diet with reduced salt and fat is acceptable with more servings of fruit
5.Regular Physical exercise
6.Control your Diabetes
7. Reduce your alcohol intake and stop
8. Treat cardiac problem valvular heart disease
9. Hyperlipidemia
10. Psychosocial factors--stress and depression
