STROKE
A
stroke occurs when a blood clot does not allow blood to flow to the brain.
Unable to receive oxygen due to a blockage caused by a clot, our brain cells or
neurons die, and this is the reason why we must act fast. The most common cause
of this is related to the narrowing of blood vessels that come from the heart
by fatty plaques that block the arteries, hence the importance of us to eat as
healthy as possible.
The
stroke is global statistics as the second leading cause of death and doubles
the number of deaths from traffic accidents. The chance of having a stroke
increases with age, exceeding deaths from heart attacks.
