METABOLIC SYNDROME.

Hello again:

As you recall, I have been talking in previous posts about the importance of maintaining monitored levels of blood pressure, triglycerides, blood sugar or glucose, as size of our  waist, and cholesterol. And I wanted to leave these clear concepts before speaking of Metabolic Syndrome.

What is metabolic syndrome?

STROKE

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.
