8 ways to prevent stroke.

A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and blood to the brain is blocked or interrupted, leading to brain cell damage. It is the leading cause of long-term disability in adults and the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. Strokes are categorized into two main types:
Ischemic stroke: Caused by a blood clot that obstructs blood flow to the brain.
Hemorrhagic stroke: Results from a ruptured blood vessel in or near the brain. Additionally, there’s a condition called transient ischemic attack (TIA) or “mini-stroke,” which involves temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain. Although TIA symptoms usually resolve within 24 hours, seeking medical attention is crucial. 🧠
