Strokes are Not Rare
Strokes are unfortunately all too common, coming in at number three on the list of deaths in America. Nearly 800,000 Americans have a stroke every year. They are the cause behind the majority of long-term disabilities. Therefore, don’t be silly and pretend that you are immune to them. Make sure to keep on top of your blood pressure and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
