Did you know that someone in the United States su ffers a stroke every 40 seconds?*
A stroke can happen anytime, regardless of age or health status. Knowing the warning signs of a stroke can save a life!
The American Stroke Association uses a handy acronym, “Be Fast”, to designate and identify the symptoms of a stroke:
-
B: Balance Loss
E: Eye (Vision) Changes
F: Face Drooping
A: Arm Weakness
S: Speech Difficulty
T: Time to call 911
The month of May is National Stroke Awareness Month. The mission of raising stroke awareness is crucial and imperative; preventing stroke risk factors, such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol, can dramatically decrease one’s risk of suffering one or multiple strokes. Some general preventive practices for strokes include healthy eating, regular exercise, and healthy sleep.
Did you know that there are also insurance plans that kick in and provide emergency funds in the event of a stroke? Critical Illness Plans are designed to provide a safety cushion in the event of a heart attack, stroke, or cancer diagnosis, so that you can focus less on the finances and more on getting better.
