9 Ways to Avoid Stroke or Stroke as it is popularly known in this video I will tell you about nine points that if you are careful and pay attention to these nine points your chance of having a stroke will decrease drastically it will decrease a lot for sure you Do you know someone who has had a stroke because it happens very often to thousands and thousands of people, but what does that mean? So-and-so had a stroke, it means there was an interruption in the blood flow with oxygen and nutrients to a specific part of the brain, that's it and basically this interruption can happen for two things, the first is an occlusion and the blood cannot reach it and the second, less frequent cause, about 15%, the first cause is ischemic stroke, about 80 85%, the second cause is hemorrhagic stroke, no there is a bleed And then that part of the brain cannot be oxygenated the blood cannot get there to do its function So that's it the ABC is very simple to understand ah but what are the symptoms What are the main signs and symptoms for you you also identify not only knowing how to reduce it but it is important to know how to identify it to seek emergency care, so if you do this your chance is also much greater of being able to reverse it, okay, you will pay attention to sudden changes from one moment to the next, for example you started with tingling in the arm only on one side of the body or a reduction in strength change in speech you saw that the person is speaking in a more slurred way, for example different to usual and it happened from one moment to the next and also changes in the Balance in vision difficulty understanding what you are talking to often you are talking to someone you see that they have difficulty and they cannot understand this could also be a sign of a stroke person is not able to Go for a walk in the same way another change like this You probably Do you know that it is a change in the mouth called lip corner deviation or lip deviation because it can affect the muscles of the face and cause this change and it is important to remember if you only have one of these signs or symptoms that I mentioned, you already need to seek help, no. you need to have them all Not always the person will have a change in Balance difficulty speaking change in the strength of sensitivity just one of these signs and symptoms already indicates the possibility of having a stroke or a stroke and now how will you do to reduce the chance of having a stroke of having signs and symptoms that I mentioned there are nine ways they are all very important so pay close attention number one blood pressure control high blood pressure is one of the major risk factors for stroke for stroke both ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke for bleeding so controlling your blood pressure is an effective way for you to reduce your risk of having a stroke, one of the main ways including but what does high blood pressure mean?

high blood pressure is when the first number is greater than or equal to 14 or 140 or the second number is greater than or equal to 9 or 90 what is a good pressure value ideally 12 to 8 Ah but my pressure is a little higher and the doctor said that it is ok in some cases we can tolerate a little higher pressure a patient who has a very high risk of falling, for example, so it is always a risk assessment, but as a rule, 12x8 is an excellent pressure value and also reduces the chance of you having a stroke . hospital or outside the doctor's appointment Many people don't do this and there is a big mistake when you go to do the wound or the measurement Because there is a condition called white coat hypertension this is no joke many people R when I explained this but what happens some people only have high blood pressure when they go to a doctor's appointment This ends up making a mistake because the doctor sees it there Ah, your blood pressure is high So I'm going to give you medicine but the opposite also happens, there is what is called masked hypertension, what is this the person has high blood pressure but when she goes to the doctor's office when she goes to the hospital the pressure stays normal because she stays calm Oh if I feel sick here the doctor will help me so the pressure stays normal so it's important that you carry out a blood pressure control outside the doctor outside the office outside the hospital this will help you a lot number two cholesterol ah but I heard that cholesterol is good, yes cholesterol is good for our body to produce hormones so that you can live so that the cells can function but what happens here that Excess cholesterol greatly increases the chance of you having a stroke Okay, so be careful with some people who say that cholesterol is good. I'm talking about excess cholesterol.

So yes, there is a danger to your health. As a rule, we look at three parameters. The first is the good cholesterol which is called HDL And what is an ideal HDL value greater than 40 would already protect you and reduce the chance of you having a stroke another measure is also the bad cholesterol called LDL and what is the LDL value here is a trick because the value of bad cholesterol is variable, it is very individual What is good for one person may not be good PR for another, for example, there is a person who is an athlete, does not have high blood pressure, does not have diabetes, has never had a heart attack don't smoke for this person who has a low risk of having a stroke the LDL cholesterol level of 130 will be fine now for another person who has already had a heart attack twice who smokes who has high blood pressure who has high blood sugar levels who is sedentary for this person 130 will be too high so I need a lower value So we have to evaluate or use a fancy word to stratify the person's risk of having a stroke And then the doctor will be able to determine what the LDL value is but the LDL is also increased It is one of the risk factors for you to have a stroke, one of the biggest risk factors and there is another measure which is not cholesterol itself but it is also part of the fats in the blood which are triglycerides, triglycerides ideally lower than 150 as well you have cardiovascular protection, the third factor for you to avoid and reduce the chance of having a stroke as much as possible is not smoking, I know, you already know, I won't go on too long here, is that smoking is harmful and increases the chance of you having a stroke.

which scared me that to make this video I went to look for how many people smoke in Brazil and in Portugal in Brazil about 99% of people smoke which is extremely high and the Portuguese this value n in Portugal is even higher about 14% in some some groups around 20% So let's be careful and stop smoking well it greatly increases the chance of you having a stroke number quat How is your sleep how many hours per night are you sleeping we know that sleep is a great ally of the point of metabolic view of controlling various diseases and it is impressive how people don't care about this issue of sleep it seems that it is irrelevant one of the causes of increased blood pressure and other metabolic changes is called obstructive sleep apnea which is when during the night you When you are sleeping, there is an interruption in the flow of oxygen and then you can even wake up choking, it is not just the feeling that you are out of air, but you actually run out of air and this can cause several changes in your body, including greatly increasing the chance of If you have a stroke, you snore a lot, someone has already told you, so ask people if there is someone who lives with you, can you ask about this because it is really important, this issue of sleep is left aside, the fifth way, this one can reduce it by up to 40 % 40% Chance of you having a stroke just because you are doing this which is controlling how much sodium salt you are ingesting per day what is the recommendation up to 5 g of salt per day or 2 g of sodium Oh but how am I going to to know how much sodium there is, you will have to look at the labels, is it detailed there, is there how much sodium is there, it is extremely important that you do this because high consumption of sodium salt is not only related to an increased risk of stroke but also with high blood pressure for example and what is the average salt consumption in Brazil in Portugal in the United States in Brazil this average is 10 g double the recommended in Portugal in the United States it is 11 g more than double the recommended number of people This has happened several times too, how is your salt consumption? Ah, no, I'm not adding more salt. I've already eliminated salt, but you still eat foods that are rich in sodium, like instant noodles, sausages, for example.

So you have to have this. be careful frozen foods are also rich in good sodium So take care of your salt and sodium intake and the sixth way is to control blood sugar levels diabetes is one of the major risk factors for stroke especially for ischemic stroke good for the most frequent cause of stroke Ah , but why does this happen because diabetes is a risk factor because high levels of sugar in the blood end up damaging the blood vessels, for example, they end up causing injuries and increase the risk of having a stroke, so it is very important to take care of them. blood sugar levels many people ask what a high blood sugar level is I already made a video for you with all these values ​​about diabetes at the end of this video I will leave this recommendation Okay then stay until then for you to have also access this video and find out what a high blood sugar level is Okay, but diabetes is one of the major risk factors number seven arrhythmias if you number seven cardiac arrhythmias when the heart is beating out of rhythm it has the beat irregular I will draw attention to one of the most frequent arrhythmias which is atrial fibrillation And why it is important to reduce the chance of stroke because if you have an arrhythmia such as atrial fibrillation You can have the formation of thrombi from clots that can go to circulation and stops there in the brain did you know that it is one of the major causes I know that many people will comment Oh but I don't have access to a cardiologist in the city I live in, they don't have this medical specialty but here's the tip, the clinical doctor for consultation at a health center, for example, he can listen to the heart, listen to the heart and also with a simple exam called an electrocardiogram, just with these two measurements, just by listening to the heart and doing an elro cardiogram exam, which is widely available, the clinical doctor can make the diagnosis of some arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation, so when I worked in a health center, before I even completed my specialized residency, I got tired of diagnosing arterial action and it also provides specific treatment for this type of arrhythmia, which greatly reduces the chance of you have a stroke, so if you have never had your heart heard, never had an electrocardiogram, talk to the doctor, he will not refuse to listen to your heart and it can be a measure that will greatly reduce the chance of you having a stroke number eight and there could be no lack of physical activity, a sedentary lifestyle is also a risk factor for you to have a stroke or a stroke, when you do at least 150 minutes a week divided into three or more days, for example 50 minutes three times a week, you have protection from cardiovascular system and there is a decrease if you increase this goal a little to 250 minutes a week also divided into three or more times some studies show even greater protection but if you do 150 or more I am already satisfied Oh but What exercise can be walking It could be running, it could be on the treadmill on the street, it could be the gym, it could be swimming, focus on doing the exercise and you'll get it, don't put too much pressure on it Ah, I just need to run, I just need to go to the gym, don't do any physical activity that you're whatever you like, then yes, you will be able to do and maintain this physical activity and it is very good for your health and the number nine way is to control your weight, but not only that, control your abdominal circumference, we already know that visceral fat increases and a lot of cardiovascular diseases such as stroke, I will tell you about measurements in values ​​so that you can control it.

It's no use just talking about reducing abdominal circumference. If you don't know what an increased value is, there are two references, two standards, the first for men of 102 102 or more then it would be a risk value, the second standard, a little tighter, puts it at 94, so 94 or more would no longer be an ideal value for women, right, as if there were two for men, I will also say for women, some studies put it higher or equal 88, right?
