I really despise these press release stroke prevention tips. They can say 80% of strokes are preventable but thats just guessing on their part. More blaming the victim because hey, you wouldn't want to expend any intellectual energy working on worthwhile stroke disability reduction protocols.

Many people who have had a stroke believe that their family history
is the main reason for it, regardless of how well they look after
themselves. While a family history of cardiovascular disease does increase your risk of stroke or heart attack, it doesn’t make it your destiny.
Exercising to the point of breaking a sweat plays a key role in
stroke prevention, and can help change your family’s medical history.
Smoking and high blood pressure are widely known to be associated
with an increased risk of having a stroke. But we are now learning about
other lifestyle and medical conditions that can be modified to reduce
stroke risk.
A combination of five healthy lifestyle factors
can reduce your risk of stroke by 80%; people who don’t smoke, have a
healthy weight and healthy diet, exercise for 30 minutes each day, and
consume modest amounts of alcohol have a much lower risk of many chronic
diseases, including stroke.

Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 28,972 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
What this blog is for:
My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.
