Stroke

Stroke continues to be the third leading cause of death in the United States, after heart disease and cancer.  There are about 750,000 new strokes yearly, resulting in approximately 150,000 to 200,000 deaths. 

Risk factors for stroke include:

  • Hypertension (elevated blood pressure)
  • Smoking
  • Diabetes
  • Metabolic syndrome
  • Stress
  • Obesity

There is an emerging body of literature and front-line clinical experience that supports taking an integrative/functional medical approach to the prevention and treatment of cerebrovascular disease including stoke.  The comments of this type of approach include:

  • Nutrition
    • An anti-inflammatory eating program
    • Blood sugar control
    • Maintaining appropriate weight
  • Supplementation
    • Omega 3 fish oil
    • Vitamin E
    • B vitamins
    • Vitamin D
    • Ginkgo Biloba
    • Green tea extracts
  • Exercise
    • Regular exercise – 200 minutes/week
  • Aspirin
    • Low dose aspirin may be beneficial in select cases
