A stroke can occur when blood flow to the brain is blocked or there is sudden bleeding in the brain. There are two types of strokes. A stroke that occurs because blood flow to the brain is blocked is called an ischemic stroke.
The brain cannot get oxygen and nutrients from the blood. Without oxygen and nutrients, brain cells begin to die within minutes. A stroke that occurs because of sudden bleeding in the brain is called a hemorrhagic stroke. The leaked blood results in pressure on brain cells, damaging them.
Just under 90% of strokes involve blocked blood vessels (ischemic), and the rest involve internal bleeding (hemorrhagic). Strokes are further classified based on where in the brain the blockage or bleeding occurs.
A stroke is a medical emergency. A stroke can cause lasting brain damage, long-term disability, or even death. Signs of a stroke can range from mild weakness to paralysis or numbness on one side of the face or body. Other signs may include a sudden and severe headache, sudden weakness, trouble seeing, and trouble speaking or understanding speech.
Major symptoms are as follows:
- Sudden Weakness or Numbness: A stroke can cause sudden weakness or numbness in the face, arm, or leg, often affecting one side of the body.
- Speech Difficulties: Difficulty speaking or understanding speech can be a sign of stroke, including slurred speech or inability to speak at all.
- Vision Problems: Stroke can cause sudden vision problems, such as blurred or double vision, or loss of vision in one or both eyes.
- Balance and Coordination Problems: Trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance, or lack of coordination can also be a sign of stroke. Severe Headache: A sudden, severe headache, especially with no known cause, can be a sign of stroke.
But did you know that you can prevent a stroke without visiting a hospital? How? Easy.
Avocado leaves are one of the best herbs to use for stroke prevention and complete reversal. They have been proved to reverse a stroke within a month depending on the severity.
The preparation process is easy. Boil 5 leaves of avocadoes for 20 minutes, drink a full cup twice a day. Do this daily for at least 28 days. If you re using the avocado leaf powder, 1 tablespoon twice a day is enough.
