Deans' stroke musings: How being slightly overweight is GOOD for your health: Fat tissue 'boosts brain's energy levels and affects metabolism and ageing'

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.

How being slightly overweight is GOOD for your health: Fat tissue 'boosts brain's energy levels and affects metabolism and ageing'

You'll have to have your doctor analyze this. I am somewhat overweight right now so I would need a definition of what slightly means. I did manage to lose 3 lbs. while on the cruise.

We are inundated with messages from health professionals urging us to slim down.

But a new study has revealed being slightly overweight may, in fact, boost a person's health.

An enzyme secrete by the body's fat tissue controls energy levels in the brain and its response to a lack of food, researchers discovered.

They concluded there may be an optimal amount of body fat for maximising health and longevity.

'We showed that fat tissue controls brain function in a really interesting way,' said senior author Professor Shin-ichiro Imai, of Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis.

'The results suggest that there is an optimal amount of fat tissue that maximizes the function of the control centre of ageing and longevity in the brain.
