Health And Dental Helper

alongside cancer and heart disease, stroke is the third leading cause of death. About a quarter of all stroke patients die as a direct result of stroke or its complications. The stroke is uncontrolled by diet rich in saturated and trans fatty acids, which is caused from the accumulation of cholesterol in the arteries and blood pressure. In other words, accumulates when cholesterol in the arteries, the blood flow to every part of the body does not cause oxygen delivered to the brain, which die off in some cells in the brain and can not reproduce the situation, then we are related. Other strokes happen when a blood vessel bursts in the brain, causing the cells in your brain are deprived of oxygen in your blood, they die and never come back.

I. Causes of disease
There are similar causes of stroke and heart disease, but in the race, the result is severe. Any delay results in the death of the victim’s rescue. Here are some causes of stroke:

1
Poor Nutrition A diet rich in saturated and trans fats causes bad cholesterol in the blood vessels accumulate in the brain, blocking oxygen to the cells, increasing the risk for stroke. Poor diet also causes high blood pressure your heart has to work harder to pump blood through your body from heart disease. High blood pressure also causes the blood vessels in the brain to harden and narrow, which increases the risk of stroke.

2
Smoking Smoking not only has devastating health effects of smoking, but also for anyone who inhales its toxic fumes. Cigarettes contain high levels of cadmium that causes the blood to clot activity of cells in the result of blockage of blood flow and thus the blood vessels in the brain.

3 Excessive alcohol consumption, drinking moderately
is good for the heart but can excessive consumption, the concentration causing certain fats in the blood cholesterol to increase to accumulate in the arteries and blood vessels in the brain, leading to an increased risk for stroke.

4
Diabetes People with diabetes tend to develop heart disease or are at an earlier age than others. Diabetes caused by unhealthy diet high damage level of glucose in the blood, the nerves and blood vessels leading to complications such as heart disease and stroke, the most common causes of death in people with diabetes.

5 Obesity – a BMI shows of 30 or more study />

6 The use of birth control pills
Birth control pills contain estrogen and one of the two other hormones, lynestrenol or norethisterone that the risk of blood clots that can cause an ischemic stroke increase, especially in women who smoke and are older than 35 years.

There are many other causes of stroke, heart disease, as we discussed in detail in heart disease article.

II The symptoms of the disease
Here are some symptoms of a stroke:

1 Sudden difficulty speaking
sudden trouble in good standing is an early symptom of a stroke by the blood flow to oxygen caused by sudden narrowing of the arteries and blood pressure exhaust gas.

2 Dizziness and loss of balance
The brain coordinates information from the eyes, inner ear, and the importance of the body to maintain balance. When cells are damaged in this part of the brain due to oxygen deficiency leads to dizziness and loss of balance.

3
sudden confusion, sudden onset of confusion means that something is wrong with the brain’s potential. Almost all brain diseases are fatal. It could be a tumor or low levels of oxygen in the cells of the cerebral cortex in your brain that your ability to influence thinking with your usual speed or clarity caused. It could also lowered blood sugar levels are caused, as is the case of diabetes.

4 Who have difficulty speaking and understanding
Having trouble speaking and understanding occurs when brain cells ayrus in the Broca, Wernicke and start square in the region of the left hemisphere, because they do not die with more oxygen and nutrients they need to get function.

6 Sudden severe headache
headache is a condition that causes pain in the head, sometimes back pain in the neck or higher can also be interpreted as a headache. It is one of the most common complaints of local pain and can be common for many people, but a sudden, severe headache due to an early symptom of heart disease can be triggered, as we have mentioned in previous articles, by the breaking of a vessel of the brain or the degradation of oxygen in some parts of the

7 Sudden vision problems
This can be a leading indicator of a stroke, be if the oxygen content in the blood supply to part of the brain is suddenly interrupted or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, spilling blood into cells, the field of vision of the cerebral cortex in the brain . control

III. Risk factors
1
age of human aging is the biological process that is inevitable but controllable. From 40 cells in our body begin the process leading to the deterioration of some functions of our body. Most people in this age group have some form of cholesterol accumulates in the arteries and high blood pressure, leading to an increased risk of stroke.

2 Inheritance
people with a family history of stroke have a better chance of stroke than those without such family history.

3 Course
Due to frequent high blood pressure in African-Americans, they have a significantly higher risk for stroke than their white counterparts.

4
High blood pressure High blood pressure causes hardening and thinning of the artery walls and makes our heart work harder to get blood through the body caused by heart disease and pump an increased risk for stroke.

5
Smoking Smoking can be exposed to toxic cadmium, which reduces the blood pressure and heart disease and carry a higher risk for stroke.

6
Excessive drinking a cup of wine for women and two glasses of wine for men can help blood circulation and provide more oxygen to the cells. But excessive drinking not only damages the normal function of the liver, but also increases blood pressure, increase the risk for stroke.

7
diabetes caused by unhealthy diet high level of glucose in the blood. Diabetics have an increased risk for stroke, because high levels of glucose damage the arterial wall and the clotting of arteries and blood vessels.

8
sex men have a 20% higher risk of stroke than women.

IV types of stroke
There are two types of features:

The ischemic stroke by a blood clot or other blockage of an artery, causing the brain. Hemorrhagic stroke, the vessel leaking into the brain a break in the result of the blood caused in the brain.

1 Stroke is the most common type of stroke, accounting for almost 80% of all strokes. The brain is dependent on the streets to bring in new blood from the heart and lungs. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain and removes cellular waste and carbon dioxide. When an artery is blocked, then the brain cells do not have enough oxygen. You can not have enough energy and will eventually stop working.
There are two types of stroke

a) thrombotic stroke.
blood clots in the arteries of the brain, we thrombic stroke.
A study shows that this type of stroke accounts for nearly 50% of all strokes. The most common problem is the arteries in the neck or head lower. Thrombotic strokes are sometimes as large artery strokes. The process leading to thrombotic stroke is complex and takes place over time. Thrombotic stroke could be arterial walls slowly thickening and hardening of the arteries caused as a result of injuries. These signals harms the immune system white blood cells, which release the site to a stroke. Thrombotic stroke also occurs in the inner lining of the arteries as a result produces less nitrogen oxides were injured, leading to hardening of the arteries. If the blood clot then blocks the already narrowed artery, cutting oxygen part of the brain, we have a thrombotic stroke.

B)
embolic stroke clotted blood in other parts of the body’s arteries and then into the brain, we have an embolic stroke. In this case the clot was formed elsewhere in the brain itself.
The clot then travels in the blood until they are deposited and no longer travel. This naturally restricts the blood flow to the brain and results in embolic stroke. An embolic stroke occurs when a blood clot or other particle forms in a blood vessel away from your brain. It is usually displaced by a blood clot that traveled through the blood vessels until it gets stuck in an artery caused. It is also because of fouls in the two upper chambers of the heart. These heart rhythm disturbances can lead to poor blood circulation and the formation of a clot.

2 Hemorrhagic stroke Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when blood vessel bursts
inside the brain, leading to an increase in fluid pressure on the brain and damages the brain, pressing against the skull. Hemorrhagic stroke is high blood pressure, which stresses the artery walls until they break associated
There are two types of hemorrhagic stroke.

A), intracerebral hemorrhage:
intracerebral hemorrhage, internal bleeding that can happen in any part of the brain. Blood may accumulate in the brain tissue itself, or the space between the brain and the membranes that it. In most cases the problem is in the small arteries in the brain that are sick to begin the cause for these small blood vessels to leak. Since the actual source of bleeding is often low, it may take some time before causing symptoms of intracerebral hemorrhage, the blood to build and often gets into a couple of minutes or hours. People may not realize the problems associated with bleeding in the brain and ischemic strokes.

B subarachnoid hemorrhage)
hemorrhagic stroke, bleeding, causing the fluid-filled space deep in the brain known to be localized subarachnoid hemorrhage. Subarachnoid hemorrhage can occur at any age but is most commonly between the ages of 40 to 65 It is by the presence of blood in the subarachnoid space of some pathological processes caused by ruptured aneurysm and stop bleeding spontaneously. Other causes are vascular malformations, tumors and infection.The the most effective treatment is to front with microsurgical clipping of the lesion. This stroke is paralysis of all limbs, unconsciousness and bleeding in the cerebellum produceing typical signs of coordination with headache and neck stiffness.

V. prevention and treatment
A. Foods with
1 Cold water fish contains
cold water fish such as salmon and tuna high amounts of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids help to lower cholesterol and blood clotting in the arteries, the blood vessels in the brain because the blood pressure and stroke risk.

2
Almonds Almonds contain high amounts of vitamin E and other minerals that can help lower bad cholesterol and maintaining healthy blood flow throughout the body.

3 Blueberries Blueberries contain
the greatest antioxidant capacity due to their large concentration of anthocyanins, which prevent to help heart disease and stroke by reducing the accumulation of bad LDL cholesterol.

4
Apples Apples are for the protection of the brain quercetin. It also contains large amounts of antioxidants and chemicals that protect the body’s cells to help especially brain and heart.

5 Apricots can protect
phytochemicals in fruit and avoid the eyes, the heart and stroke. Beta-carotene as mentioned in a previous article can help lower the bad cholesterol in the arteries, increasing your risk of heart disease and stroke.

6 Carrot
(See apricots)

7 Kiwi Kiwi
contains high amounts of vitamin C, potassium, magnesium and antioxidants that are good for the heart and the immune system and the prevention of stroke.

8 Rice bran his
rice contains high amounts of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids and fiber, lower levels of cholesterol in the arteries and help to reduce the risk of stroke and heart disease.

9th Oat bran is
oats are rich in beta-glucan, which has proven itself in lowering LDL and reducing the risk of stirring

B. With dietary supplements
1 B-vitamins B
Three: Folic acid, B-6 and B-12 can reduce homocysteine, an amino acid that occurs naturally in the body and study shows that the higher the level of homocysteine ​​in the blood, the greater the risk of stroke.

2 Beta-carotene Beta-carotene
is an antioxidant that may reduce oxidative stress in brain cells. Such stress occurs when highly volatile forms of oxygen damage cell structure. A study shows that beta-carotene reduces the risk of crimes against stroke.

3
Vitamin E Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps prevent formation of blood clots.

4
Selenium Selenium is a powerful means to keep that tissue and helps arteries elastic. It also helps to reduce the stiffness of the blood and reduces the risk of blood clots, which in turn lowering the risk for heart attack and stroke. Selenium increases the ratio of HDL (good cholesterol) to LDL (bad cholesterol).

5 Pycnogenol Pycnogenol helps
collagen elasticity and softness of platelets, which reduces the blood flow more efficiently.

6 Co-enzyme Q-10
Co-enzyme is a potent antioxidant that not only low high-density lipoprotein LDL against oxidants protects, but also helps to get oxygen to the cells.

7
Lecithin, lecithin is a fatty substance called a phospholipid to eliminate bad cholesterol and other lipids in the body helps. It also protects the arteries and organs of the body fat accumulation can lead to stroke or heart attack.

8
Melatonin Melatonin is a neurohormone produced in our body by the pineal gland. It is a powerful antioxidant that easily penetrates the blood-brain barrier and is used to treat a thrombotic stroke.

9th
Vitamin C Vitamin C strengthens the artery wall, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

C. With Herbs

1.Ginkgo biloba The herb is extracted from the leaves of the Ginkgo biloba tree and was first used medically in China more than 4000 years. Ginkgo biloba is to increase the ability of oxygen to the brain and other body tissues, improve blood circulation and increases the tolerance to cerebral hypoxia. Study shows that can increase the intake of Ginkgo and other blood-thinning drugs all the risk of heart disease and stroke. Be sure to consult your doctor before taking Ginkgo biloba.

2 Hawthorn Hawthorn contains cardiotonic amines
, polyphenols and is a source of vitamins C, B, and help many other nutrients, which relax and dilate the arteries, increasing blood flow and oxygen to the heart and maintaining healthy blood pressure leading to a lower risk for stroke.

3
Garlic contains high amounts of antioxidants and components to improve the blood circulation. It is dangerous to take garlic extract together with anticoagulant drugs such as in a previous article mentioned.

4 Cayenne Cayenne
contains an active ingredient called capsaicin that reduce the ability of the blood pressure and cholesterol levels and preventing heart disease and stroke.

5
Blueberries Blueberries are one of the richest food sources of antioxidants available natural resources, with more than twice the level of the other berries that helps to prevent heart disease, stroke and internal bleeding.

6
Amarante Amaranth is an excellent herbal source of calcium. It helps to reduce to one-third the risk of dying from a heart attack. I personally believe that these results also apply to ischemic stroke, because they biologically similar to a heart attack.

7 Willow bark, willow bark
It was, several studies showed that the risk of ischemic stroke to reduce by around 18 percent. Study shows that willow bark is to prevent the ability of aspirin to prevent heart attack, and also shows a slightly increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke to make willow bark every day, but the increase was small and not statistically significant.

8
Ginger is another herb proven to have anti-clotting abilities and has the same function as the garlic.

D. 1 with acupuncture and Chinese herbs
Acupuncture Acupuncture is
popular form of treatment for stroke patients in China, are effective on 85% of stroke patients to use it. The recent acceptance of acupuncture by western doctors allow a more effective method for curing diseases especially stroke. Study shows acupuncture facilitates the regeneration of nerves, reduce blood viscosity, as well as helping surviving nerve cells find new ways to effectively bypassing the damaged parts of the brain, leading to reduced risk of stroke.

2 Ginkgo biloba (bai guo ye).
Ginkgo biloba improves mental function and the prevention of blood clots forming in the brain. Study shows that ginkgo improves blood circulation and lowers plasma cholesterol to reduce the risk of stroke.

3 Gastrodia Gastrodia
was included in the former Shennong Bencao Jing (ca. 100 AD) and was later classified by Tao Hong as a superior herb, what it means for a long time could be taken to protect the health and extend life, and for the treatment of diseases. Gastrodia is used by Chinese herbalists in the treatment of stroke and chronic weaknesses of Qi, who eventually used the blood flow to the brain.

4 Cinnamon
True cinnamon is a common form of the spice. As we already mentioned, the cinnamon helps lower blood sugar by mimicking insulin, insulin-activated receptors and reduce the work with insulin in cells, the blood sugar levels to 20%. Cinnamon has some antioxidant benefits, to find ways to survive new nerve cells after a stroke helps.

5 Angelica Angelica
can help warm chest-yang to remove the obstruction of blood flow in the vessels of the heart and vessels of the brain.

6
Dragon Blood Dragon Blood is used to increase power, cleaning, protection, consecration, ritual energy development field. It also helps to relieve pain around the heart through blood stasis and promoting blood circulation to the brain resulting in reduced risk for stroke.

There are many other Chinese herbs that help to prevent and treat stroke plastron, such as ginger, mantis egg case, and the tortoise. Please consult your doctor before taking Chinese herbs, can have some of these plants because side effects.

E. With common sense approaches

1 A healthy diet
uncontrolled, rich in saturated fat and trans fat results in cholesterol accumulates in the arteries and obstruct blood vessels, blood flow and damaging brain cells because of lack of oxygen resulting in a stroke. If we are less processed foods, fatty meats can be consumed by animals and to avoid artificial chemicals and more fruits and vegetables to eat healthy, we can reduce the risk of stroke.

2 Put a face
happy study shows that people with depression have an increased risk for stroke. The experts also found that people raised with a high degree of depression, the risk of stroke by 73%.

3
Regular exercise is moderate exercise to improve blood circulation and reduce the risk of strokes caused by blocked blood vessels by 30%, such as regular walking to increase blood pressure and lowers HDL levels.

4 Stop Smoking Cigarettes contain toxic chemicals
together with heavy metals cadmium, the blood clotting in the arteries that lead from high blood pressure and high risks of heart disease and race.

5 Reduce your intake of alcohol
excessive rise in blood pressure, which increases the likelihood of stroke risk.
