There is one ailment that wrecks havoc with an elderly person's physical and mental abilities as well as social and family interactions. That ailment is a STROKE. Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability in the U.S. that are caused by abnormal changes in blood flow in the brain or the bursting of brain blood vessels. Each year, about 795,000 people in the United States have a stroke — the No. 4 killer and a leading cause of long-term disability. Every four minutes, an American dies from stroke. A new study, however, offers encouragement that seniors can make just small changes in their lifestyle and make a big reduction in their risk of a stroke. In the  American Heart Association’s Journal Stroke, a new study revealed that researchers used a stroke assessment tool developed by the association and named Life’s Simple 7.  The tool identified several areas that if managed well by an individual will lead to a reduction in the risk of a stroke. The seven categories include:

be active

control cholesterol

eat a healthy diet

manage blood pressure

maintain a healthy weight (diet and exercise)

control blood sugar and don't smoke
