Until you consider the alternative, growing old does not seem like it is all that much fun! Most of us talk about aches and pains and operations the way we compared recipes, classes or our children's milestones. As we age we adjust to many changes albeit not as quickly as in the past.
And as we age, we are at risk for more physical problems. One of the greatest risks to older Americans is the danger of having a stroke. STROKE is the 4th leading caue of death and the leading cause of disability in the US. Like with most ailments, early intervention can make a HUGE difference in recovery. That is why the American Heart Association has asked us all to learn about F.A.S.T.
F.A.S.T. stands for F: face drooping; A: arm weakness; S: speech difficulty; T: time to call 911. When you don't know what to look for, and most Americans don't, you cannot save a life. YOU CAN CHANGE THAT! Learn the 3 symptoms of stroke and then remember it is time to call 911.
Remember FAST and save a life! You are the cure!
