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.

Walking This Much Every Day Could Add Up To 10 Years To Your Life, Longevity Docs Say

You might think that in order to live longer and healthier you have to spend a lot of time and money on high-tech treatments and supplements with funny names. (Look no further than entrepreneur Bryan Johnson who estimates that he spends $2 million dollars a year on biohacking pursuits that include blood plasma transfusions and upwards of 100 supplements daily.) But, according to the experts who study it, longevity can come a lot simpler—and cheaper—than you might expect.

“There's a lot of evidence in animal models and humans that lifestyle interventions—we're not even talking about drugs—can have a dramatic effect on how long you're going to live,” says Eric Verdin, MD, the president and CEO of the Buck Institute for Research on Aging. So, while the longevity and anti-aging market is projected to grow from $63 billion in 2023 to $183 billion in 2028, per Grand View Research, it turns out that the nonnegotiables for aging well are, well, basically free.

Some more good news? No matter where you’re starting from, you can make a difference for your future self. “The earlier you start, the more of a leg up you have,” Dr. Verdin says. “But, it's never too late.” Here’s what you can get started with today.

Meet the experts: Eric Verdin, MD, is the president and CEO of The Buck Institute, a leading biomedical research organization on aging. Luigi Ferrucci, MD, PhD, is the scientific director of the National Institute on Aging, which is part of the National Institutes of Health. Deborah Kado, MD, is a geriatrician and co-director of the Stanford Longevity Center.

What does longevity mean, anyway?

When thinking about longevity, you might be thinking about adding years to your life, but for experts who study aging, it’s equally as important to prioritize the quality of those years too.

Unfortunately, with age comes an increased risk for illnesses like cancer and dementia, mobility challenges, and a whole host of problems that might interfere with your day-to-day. “We need to distinguish between longevity in terms of how long you want to live and healthy longevity, which is living longer, but also maintaining great vitality, physical, and cognitive function,” says Luigi Ferrucci, MD, PhD, the scientific director of the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Aging. “I think that our attention should really be on the second one.”

That’s why docs are more concerned with “healthspan”—a.k.a., the amount of years you can spend not just living but in good health—and why all of these tips not only promote a longer lifespan, but a healthier one, too.

Here’s what scientists *know* can increase your healthspan.

1. Go on a walk for 30 minutes every day.

Getting active makes a huge difference when it comes to longevity. Even walking 30 minutes per day can reduce your risk of heart attack, stroke, Alzheimer’s, cancer, Parkinson’s, and neurodegeneration, and potentially increase your lifespan by seven to 10 years, says Dr. Verdin. “The most powerful anti-aging drug that we have today is physical activity,” he says.

The CDC recommends 150 minutes of moderate to high intensity and two days of strength training per week for a reason. Not only does exercise target the hallmarks of aging, but it also boosts your circulatory and metabolic system, improves insulin resistance, and helps keep you agile and independent.

As for what your physical activity should look like: Ideally, your fitness routine includes aerobic activity, like walking, running, or swimming, strength training—which is especially important for women to maintain bone density—and flexibility and mobility work, according to Dr. Ferrucci. Exercise was able to add a little over five years to individuals in a 2024 study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
