Dear dean,
During a stroke, every second counts.
Without a supply of oxygen and nutrients provided by the blood, brain cells die at a shocking rate of 1.9 million per minute.
No wonder stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S. and also a major cause of disability.
That means your independence and your life
just might come down to knowing the signs and symptoms of a stroke so
you can get treatment before permanent damage occurs. To help you do
this, Harvard Medical School experts created a report called Stroke.
This report covers everything from lifesaving
stroke facts, to health problems that increase your risk for stroke, to
secrets for regaining function after a stroke. You’ll discover:
- How treating high blood pressure can reduce your chance of having a stroke by as much as 40%
- 7 important drugs that dissolve or prevent blood clots
- Why people with diabetes are at increased risk for strokes — and two ways to reduce the risk
- One of the most common causes of stroke in people under 50 — and the symptoms you need to watch for, especially if you see a chiropractor
- How Botox can help people who have trouble speaking clearly after a stroke
- And so much more!
Plus, you’ll get a Special Bonus Section on
the changes you can make to help prevent a first or second stroke, such
as how exercise can help lower your risk of stroke as much as 30%, how
increasing potassium intake can reduce the risk of ischemic strokes, and
why some women may want to take a daily aspirin.
For the best information on preventing, treating, or even recovering from a stroke, get your copy of Stroke right now.
