Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 100,000 heartbeats a day means a lot of wear and tear over the years. Now two doctors explain how to lower the risk of a stroke as you age. Natural aging leads to artery plaque, high blood pressure, and slower and irregular heartbeats. You can do everything right, but while you can influence some aspects of aging on your own, some you cannot—at least not without your doctor’s help. Fortunately, the biology of aging is no longer mysterious. Heart and blood vessel health is knowable, measurable, and manageable. In You Can Prevent a Stroke, Dr. Joshua Yamamoto and Dr. Kristin Thomas help us understand what we can do, and what we can ask of our doctors, to manage the effects of aging on our circulation so that we do not have a stroke. Drawing on fundamentals learned at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, they offer principles and preventative steps that aren’t one-size-fit-all solutions or magical cures—just solid science to help anyone manage the natural processes that affect us all. Included is information on: · Establishing a relationship with a physician · Knowing the health of your heart · Knowing the health of your arteries · Knowing the regularity of your heartbeat · Knowing if it’s time to take a medicine to prevent plaque in your arteries, and whether you need a pill to prevent a blood clot Strokes can be avoided—and You Can Prevent a Stroke explains how.

Download or read book Your Guide to Lowering Your Blood Pressure with Dash written by U. S. Department Human Services and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-07-09 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book by the National Institutes of Health (Publication 06-4082) and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute provides information and effective ways to work with your diet because what you choose to eat affects your chances of developing high blood pressure, or hypertension (the medical term). Recent studies show that blood pressure can be lowered by following the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan-and by eating less salt, also called sodium. While each step alone lowers blood pressure, the combination of the eating plan and a reduced sodium intake gives the biggest benefit and may help prevent the development of high blood pressure. This book, based on the DASH research findings, tells how to follow the DASH eating plan and reduce the amount of sodium you consume. It offers tips on how to start and stay on the eating plan, as well as a week of menus and some recipes. The menus and recipes are given for two levels of daily sodium consumption-2,300 and 1,500 milligrams per day. Twenty-three hundred milligrams is the highest level considered acceptable by the National High Blood Pressure Education Program. It is also the highest amount recommended for healthy Americans by the 2005 "U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans." The 1,500 milligram level can lower blood pressure further and more recently is the amount recommended by the Institute of Medicine as an adequate intake level and one that most people should try to achieve. The lower your salt intake is, the lower your blood pressure. Studies have found that the DASH menus containing 2,300 milligrams of sodium can lower blood pressure and that an even lower level of sodium, 1,500 milligrams, can further reduce blood pressure. All the menus are lower in sodium than what adults in the United States currently eat-about 4,200 milligrams per day in men and 3,300 milligrams per day in women. Those with high blood pressure and prehypertension may benefit especially from following the DASH eating plan and reducing their sodium intake.

Download or read book Stroke Genetics written by Hugh S. Markus and published by Oxford Medical Publications. This book was released on 2003 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stroke is a major cause of death and the major cause of adult neurological disability in most of the world. Despite its importance on a population basis, research into the genetics of stroke has lagged behind that of many other disorders. However, the situation is now changing. Anincreasing number of single gene disorders causing stroke are being described, and there is growing evidence that polygenic factors are important in the risk of apparently "sporadic" stroke.Stroke Genetics provides an up-to-date review of the area, suitable for clinicians treating stroke patients, and both clinical and non-clinical researchers in the field of cerebrovascular disease. The full range of monogenic stroke disorders causing cerebrovascular disease, including ischaemicstroke, intracerebral haemorrhage, aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations, are covered. For each, clinical features, diagnosis, and genetics are described. Increasing evidence suggest that genetic factors are also important for the much more common multifactorial stroke; this evidence isreviewed along with the results of genetic studies in this area. Optimal and novel strategies for investigating multifactorial stroke, including the use of intermediate phenotypes such as intima-media thickness and MRI detected small vessel disease are reviewed. The book concludes by describing apractical approach to investigating patients with stroke for underlying genetic disorders. Also included is a list of useful websites.

Book excerpt: This book sheds light on the best foods to eat for preventing stroke through dieting and also elucidates how to maximize artery health.

The foods that the individual should profusely consume are subsumed under a healthy, nutrient dense, raw fruitarian diet. In order to preempt stroke, the individual should eat only fruits and vegetables that are characterized by high levels of alkalinity that also have a low glycemic load. A vast variety of nutrient dense, anti-stroke, anticancer, alkaline fruits and vegetables can play a salient role in revitalizing, nourishing, and empowering the individual so that his health is rendered highly unlikely be ever comprised by an impending stroke. Ideally, the individual should consume antistroke, alkaline, anticancer, heart healthy, kidney healthy, nutrient dense, antioxidant rich, anti-inflammatory, raw fruitarian foods. Some of the ample nutrient fruits to choose from encompass avocados, olives, durian, grapes, peppers, cranberries, cherries, apricots, nectarines, tomatoes, mangoes, oranges, pineapples, kiwis, strawberries, pears, grapefruits, cucumbers, papaya, and peaches. These aforementioned fruits are chalk-full of phytonutrients, macronutrients, micronutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes, fiber, and other salubrious anticancer compounds. Their medicinal properties and antistroke properties render them potent elixirs of life. They also play a vital role in optimizing the individual's artery health and prolonging their lifespan. It is paramount for the individual to only consume antistroke, antidiabetic, anticancer, kidney healthy heart healthy, nutrient dense, antioxidant rich, anti-inflammatory, alkaline, raw fruitarian foods if he is keen on precluding stroke. "Citrus fruits such as orange, lime, and lemon" (Gamble, 2015) can have tremendous bearing on helping prevent stroke. Moreover, "citrus fruits are considered alkaline fruits" (Gamble, 2015) since they leave an alkaline residue in the body post being digested. Additionally, "their alkaline nature combined with their citrus compounds can also help prevent kidney stones" (Gamble, 2015) which is all the more reason why the individual should be keen on consuming ample citrus fruits. There are a myriad foods that can mitigate risks for stroke. According to a study of "70,000 women published in the journal Stroke, women who consumed the most flavonoids from citrus fruits over a 14-year period had a 19% lower risk of stroke than women who consumed the fewest. Moreover, in another study of more than 30,000 older women over a period of 12 years, those who ate the most antioxidant-rich foods had the lowest stroke risk. Additionally, according to a meta-analysis of studies, higher magnesium intake from vegetables is associated with a reduced risk of stroke. Furthermore, eating more potassium-rich fruits and vegetables is also associated with a significantly lower stroke risk" (Oberst, 2017). It is also incumbent to assimilate adequate levels of Vitamin D from plant based sources. "Low levels of vitamin D increase your risk of stroke. According to one study, low levels of vitamin D doubles the risk of stroke in Caucasians. You can increase your vitamin D levels by consume vegan vitamin D3 supplements. Moreover, if you are overweight, even losing 10 pounds can have a substantial impact on reducing your stroke risk" (Oberst, 2017). It is critical to maintain a healthy BMI, attain optimal sleep, and desist from ever consuming stroke causing foods so that you can further substantially decrease the risk of succumbing to a stroke. Moreover, vegetables are also rendered permissible under the antistroke, anticancer, heart healthy, nutrient dense, raw fruitarian diet.
