B.E.F.A.S.T. is an acronym used to help people remember the signs and symptoms of a stroke, enabling quicker recognition and response, which is crucial for improving outcomes. Here's what each letter stands for:

B - Balance: Sudden loss of balance or coordination. ⚖️
E - Eyes: Sudden vision changes, such as blurred vision or loss of vision in one or both eyes. 👀
F - Face: Facial drooping or an uneven smile. Ask the person to smile and see if one side of their face droops. 🙂
A - Arms: Sudden weakness or numbness in one arm. Ask the person to raise both arms and see if one drifts downward. 💪
S - Speech: Slurred or garbled speech. Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase to check if their speech is affected. 🗣
T - Time: Time to call emergency services immediately if any of these symptoms are present. Quick action is essential. 🆘🚑

Recognizing these symptoms quickly and acting immediately by calling emergency services can significantly improve the chances of recovery for someone experiencing a stroke.
