Deans' stroke musings: Regular gardening 'can help stroke patients live longer': Pottering among the plants or going for a walk could halve risk of dying early, study shows

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.

Regular gardening 'can help stroke patients live longer': Pottering among the plants or going for a walk could halve risk of dying early, study shows

My God, the tyranny of low expectations is about the level of your burial; -6 feet.

Regular gardening 'can help stroke patients live longer': Pottering among the plants or going for a walk could halve risk of dying early, study shows

Stroke patients who regularly go for a walk or work in the garden could halve their risk of dying early.

The reduced risk was seen in those whose exercise levels reached the equivalent of at least three to four hours of walking or gardening a week, or two to three hours of cycling.

Every year more than 100,000 Britons have a stroke, and there are 1.2million stroke survivors living in this country.

These survivors are at greater risk of heart attacks and heart failure – often because of factors which caused the stroke, such as high blood pressure.

A study has shown stroke survivors who exercise enough have a 54 per cent lower risk of dying. Even those aged 75 and over saw a 32 per cent reduction in their risk of dying (stock photo)

But now a study shows those who exercise enough have a 54 per cent lower risk of dying. Even those aged 75 and over saw a 32 per cent reduction in their risk of dying.

'Our results are exciting, because just three to four hours a week of walking was associated with big reductions in mort ality,' said Dr Raed Joundi, author of the study from the University of Calgary, Canada.

'A better understanding of the role of physical activity in the health of people who survive stroke is needed to design better exercise therapies and public health campaigns.'

The researchers, whose study was published in the journal Neurology, looked at 895 stroke survivors who completed a national health survey in Canada between 2009 and 2014.

They were asked how much time they had spent in the past three months on activities including walking, running, swimming, sports, cycling and gardening.

Dr Richard Francis of the Stroke Association, cautioned that the number of patients in the study was small but said: 'This research reflects that regular, low-impact physical activity, like walking, can help stroke survivors stay healthy.'
