Stroke

 

Got a Question?


A stroke is caused by an interruption of blood flow to the brain. Early symptoms may include slurred speech, dizziness, confusion, and blurred vision. It is important to consult a physician immediately for anyone suffering from any of these symptoms, to determine the actual cause.

Strokes tend to affect only one side of the body and begin with a sudden attack. Strokes may be triggered by high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and smoking. Stress and excessive weight also are risk factors.

Those at high risk for stroke are advised to stop smoking and curb alcohol consumption. A diet rich in cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and cabbage, may be helpful. Tarragon oil, alfalfa, and turmeric should be added to the diet.

Recommended supplements:
  • Vitamin A: 5,000 to 10,000 IU daily
  • Vitamin D: 200 to 800 IU daily
  • Vitamin E: 400 to 500 IU daily
  • Carotenoids: 10,000 to 20,000 IU daily
  • Selenium: 100 to 200 mcg daily
  • Potassium: 99 mg, one to three times daily
  • Calcium: 500 to 1,000 mg daily (older women may take 1,500 to 2,000 mg before bedtime)
  • Omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil capsules): 50 mg, one to three times daily
  • Ginger extract: one to two, 170-mg capsules daily
  • Rutin: 50 mg one to three times daily
