Ladies, sound the alarm, strike up the band, jump up and down,...because it's FRIDAY!!!!!! We made it to another week end. I pray you all had a great day today in this beautiful weather. I couldn't wait to get home, so that I could watch in peace, some of my shows that I had DVR'd during the week. But before I could relax really good, I wanted to share this quick tidbit with you: All week we have been talking about stroke awareness, starting on Monday with the leading causes, Tuesday, the two common strokes (although there are more), Wednesday, moving our bodies; the importance of exercise and healthy eating, last night, recognizing the signs, and tonight, we will talk about the myths and realities of strokes. Please see the following:
- Myth - Strokes are not preventable
- Reality - up to 80% of strokes are preventable
- Myth - Strokes cannot be treated
- Reality - strokes require emergency treatment
- Myth - Strokes only strike the elderly
- Reality - anyone can have a stroke
- Myth - Strokes happen in the heart
- Reality - a stroke is a "brain attack"
- Myth - Stroke recoveries end after six months
- Reality - stroke recoveries can last a lifetime
Again, this information that I share, that I have researched, is strictly for our health benefit; this is not my opinion. However, working in the healthcare field, allows me the opportunity to make us all aware of how important our health is. I hope you all have a great night tonight, doing what makes your heart happy. Although I have started my Fitness Class (I survived today), as a treat to myself, I'm going to curl up on the couch with a bowl of Butter Pecan ice cream. Shhh..., don't tell anyone. Peace & Love....
