Monitoring Symptoms of Stroke
Recently a close friend who used to work at Target Digital Marketing experienced two TIAs, Transient Ischemic Attacks. While not as serious as a stroke a TIA is considered a warning sign of stroke. Although it only lasts a few minutes and the symptoms are mild, most people who have a TIA are likely to suffer a full blown stroke within the next year if left unattended.
Monitoring your heart and the cardiovascular system for blockages naturally includes keeping arteries running to your brain clear and healthy. If they are towing debris that causes blood flow to diminish and nutrients are cut off to a part of the brain, you are likely to experience a TIA or worse, a stroke.
When researching the human heart the scope of study incorporates the natural connectedness of brain activity. How do we manage stress? What is our level of cognitive interpretation? What is our relationship with our self and others? How do we relate with our daily surroundings?
Eating well is the best medicine for a healthy heart, but what does that mean? We all know what unhealthy eating is; too much fast and processed foods, or an unbalanced intake of one thing over another. But what constitutes a heart healthy diet?
One of the buzz phrases going around is “drop into your heart”. What does that mean? When you find yourself too much in your head about a situation – stop. Stop for a moment and entertain the circumstances from a different perspective. Get another view from a different source.
