Till now the common belief about stroke has been that it is a disease of the elderly only. But recent research and data have completely changed this perception. Stroke cases are increasing rapidly in men under 40 years of age. While stroke cases in men have increased by about 25% in the last two decades, the increase in women has been only 1%.
Stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is disrupted, causing brain cells to die. It is mainly of two types: ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke.
Ischemic stroke: When blood vessels become blocked due to blockage.
hemorrhagic stroke: When a blood vessel in the brain bursts.
This problem is linked to heart disease, high blood pressure, cholesterol and bad lifestyle.
What is the reason?
* Consumption of junk food: Eating foods rich in fat and sugar causes plaque to accumulate in blood vessels.
*Drinking more alcohol: Alcohol increases blood pressure and thickens the blood.
* Stress and bad lifestyle : In today’s fast-paced life, stress and lack of physical activity have become the main causes of stroke.
* smoking : It weakens the blood vessels and increases the risk of blood clots.
Which signs should not be ignored?
F (face): The face suddenly tilts to one side.
A (arms): There is difficulty in raising both the arms.
S (speech): speech is not clear or slurred
t (time): Don’t waste time, contact a doctor immediately.
