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.

Lifestyle, diet modifications decrease stroke risk in middle-aged women

Hope you can figure out the EXACT PROTOCOL to achieve this because it sounds like useless guidelines to me.  And if you get a stroke anyway YOU can be blamed for getting one. This is just a way to deflect blame from the stroke medical world for their complete failure in even trying to get survivors 100% recovered.

Lifestyle, diet modifications decrease stroke risk in middle-aged women

Sustained lifestyle modifications in middle-aged women reduced the 26-year risk for ischemic stroke and total stroke, according to a study published in Stroke.
The 26-year risk for total stroke was also reduced with sustained dietary modifications, according to the study.
“The proportion of strokes that can be prevented is higher among patients who are at higher risk of stroke,” Goodarz Danaei, ScD, Bernard Lown Associate Professor of Cardiovascular Health at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, told Healio. “For example, those who have type 2 diabetes or other risk factors (eg, hypertension, obesity, high serum lipids or history of coronary heart disease). Therefore, doctors should strongly encourage these patients to adopt healthier lifestyles.”
Researchers analyzed data from 59,727 women (mean age at baseline, 52 years; mean BMI, 24.5 kg/m2) from the Nurses’ Health Study who periodically completed questionnaires regarding physician-diagnosed stroke, diet and physical activity.
“It is almost impossible to conduct randomized trials to evaluate the effect of lifestyle on cardiovascular diseases such as stroke,” Danaei said in an interview. “Therefore, the best evidence should come from observational studies with high-quality information such as the Nurses’ Health Study. We also used advanced analytical methods that allow us to emulate the design and analysis of a behavioral intervention trial.”
Diet information was used to calculate usual intake of poultry, processed and unprocessed red meat, nuts, fruits and vegetables, refined grains, whole grains, alcohol and fish.
The risk for total stroke, hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke was estimated between 1986 and 2012 based on moderate to vigorous intensity exercise of at least 30 minutes per day, smoking cessation and BMI reduction by 5%. Researchers investigated several dietary strategies including eating at least one serving of nuts per day, eating three or more servings of fish per week and eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables per day.
With no lifestyle intervention, the estimated 26-year risk for total stroke was 4.7% (95% CI, 4.5-4.9), 2.5% for ischemic stroke (95% CI, 2.4-2.6) and 0.7% for hemorrhagic stroke (95% CI, 0.6-0.8).
The estimated 26-year risk for total stroke (3.5%; 95% CI, 2.6-4.3) and ischemic stroke (1.6%; 95% CI, 1.1-2.1) decreased with combined nondietary interventions including exercise, smoking cessation and weight loss. Estimated risk for hemorrhagic stroke was similar with most strategies except for an isolated strategy of an increased intake of fish (0.5%; 95% CI, 0.4-0.7).
