"Stroke claims a life in India every 3.5 minutes, cementing its status as a significant factor contributing to mortality and disability in the country. Recent studies indicate that the adjusted prevalence rate of stroke varies from 84 to 262 per 100,000 in rural areas and 334 to 424 per 100,000 in urban areas. The incidence rate ranges from 119 to 145 per 100,000, as per populationbased research. Together, let's unite in the battle to eradicate strokes from India."

Spread the Word to Your Loved Ones: Unite in the Battle Against Stroke! By sharing this knowledge with your friends and family, you can make a real difference in the fight against stroke. Every year, millions of lives are affected by stroke, but with awareness and action, we can change that. Let's join hands and protect our loved ones by understanding the risk factors, signs, and treatment
options available.

For every minute without treatment, a stroke results in the loss of 1.9 million neurons, equivalent to the population of an entire city, and 14 million crucial connections between brain cells. Neurons are vital brain cells responsible for processing and transmitting information, and synapses are essential for communication between neurons. A stroke claims 7.5 miles of the brain's delicate myelinated fibers, disrupting essential pathways for motor and sensory functions.

The "golden hour" after a stroke is crucial because rapid intervention within the first 60 minutes can significantly increase the chances of minimizing brain damage and improving outcomes. This time frame is ideal for administering clot busting medications or performing clot removal procedures, which can restore blood flow to the brain and prevent further neurological impairment.

Incorporating a diet rich in nutrient-dense food plays a vital role in reducing the risk of stroke.

Safeguard your well-being by abstaining from smoking, alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet, and substance abuse.

Maintaining optimal health and controlling pre-existing health issues through routine check-ups are pivotal in the quest to prevent strokes!

Managing diabetes can significantly reduce your risk of stroke. A balanced diet and regular exercise can help control diabetes.
