Recent studies conducted by the Ohio State University have found that a natural compound of vitamin E called alpha-tocotrienols may play a role in reducing stroke-related damage.
IMAGINE having the world you know ripped from beneath your feet. Your vision blurs. Colours once resoundingly familiar grow faint.
Your memory fails you. Abilities you have been well-acquainted with from infancy, including the simple acts of walking and talking, become a daily struggle.
Having a stroke can leave you with severe and lasting debilitations.
Currently, it is also the leading cause of serious long-term disability around the world.
Strokes occur when the blood flow to your brain is halted. Within minutes, brain cells become damaged and may die.
When this occurs, the body parts that are controlled by these cells can no longer function.
This loss of function may range from mild to severe, or temporary or permanent; depending on where and how much of the brain is damaged, as well as how fast the blood supply can be returned to the affected areas.
Types of stroke
There are two types of stroke. The more common one, called ischaemic stroke, is caused by blood clots that block the blood vessels to the brain.
