Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIAs)
Prevention
Stroke prevention is still the best medicine. A stroke is a single, damaging attack, but the conditions or risk factors that lead to a stroke, such as high blood pressure, smoking, heart disease, and diabetes develop over many years.
You can reduce your stroke risk by taking the following steps:
Control your blood pressure: Have your blood pressure checked often, and, if it is high, follow your health professionals advice on how to lower it. Treating high blood pressure reduces the risk for both stroke and heart disease
Stop smoking: Cigarette smoking is linked to increased risk for stroke. Research shows that the risk of stroke for people who have quit smoking for 2-5 years is lower than people who still smoke
Exercise regularly: Researchers think that exercise may make the heart ber and improve circulation. It also helps control weight. Being overweight increases the chance of high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, heart disease, and adult-onset (type 2) diabetes.
Physical activities like brisk walking, cycling, swimming, and yard work lower the risk of both stroke and heart disease. Talk with your health professional before starting a vigorous exercise program
Eat a healthy diet: Choose, prepare, and eat foods low in fats, saturated fatty acids, and cholesterol. Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables
Control your diabetes: If untreated, diabetes can damage the blood vessels throughout the body and lead to atherosclerosis.
The regular practice of Vedic Meditation, is an invaluable tool in the prevention of strokes and Ischemic Attacks, as it reduces each of these risk categories.
The regular practice of Vedic Meditation lowers blood pressure, and helps to reduce the consumption of cigarette smoking and alcohol abuse. Vedic Meditation also provides an increase in energy and motivation levels, which means that exercise becomes effortless and therefore enjoyable.
People often report that it is this natural and spontaneous return to a more healthy routine, through higher levels of self-esteem and self-confidence brought about by the regular practice of Vedic Meditation, that allows them to exercise more regularly and follow a healthier diet and enjoy an overall better quality of life.
