Smart Practices For Preventing Strokes

by Insights-on-Health.com

Healthy Supplements

* Coenzyme Q10 – 100 mg daily to increase oxygenation of brain tissues

* Fish Oil – use as directed on label to promote proper blood flow

* Vitamin C – 1000 mg daily to regulate blood pressure

* Calcium – 1000 mg daily to support cardiovascular system

* Ginkgo Biloba – use as directed to eliminate free radicals

Regular Exercise

* No smoking – even though you may think it is a stress reliever, smoking is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease and stroke; quitting now has instant health benefits

* Exercise – engage in as much activity as possible throughout the day; go for walks and play a fun sport to support heart health and reduce stress several times per week

* Breathing – practice regular, mindful breathing to help your body reduce stress and function better

The more of these things you include in your daily routine, the more you will notice how they all work together to keep your body, mind and spirit running smoothly. Small, consistent efforts can reap huge rewards in the long run. Make a goal to be strong and healthy as you age, and your body will thank you.

Although there are many things you can do to prevent a stroke, once it has begun, medical attention must be sought immediately to ensure recovery. There are several signs to look for to determine if someone is having a stroke, including numbness in the face or appendages, trouble speaking, sudden reduced vision, or loss of balance. If you or someone you know is suffering from any of these symptoms, contact a doctor right away, even if they only last a few moments.
