Stroke cases have increased manifold in fit and healthy men under 40 years of age.

Stroke cases are increasing rapidly in men under 40 years of age. Stroke cases in men have seen an increase of about 25% in the last two decades.

So far, there has been a common belief about stroke that it is only a disease of the elderly. But recent research and statistics have completely changed this perception. Stroke cases are increasing rapidly in men under 40 years of age. While there has been an increase of about 25% in stroke cases in men in the last two decades, this increase has been only 1% in women.

A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted, causing brain cells to die. It is mainly of two types: ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke.

Ischemic stroke: When the blood vessels are blocked due to blockage.

Hemorrhagic stroke: When the blood vessel in the brain ruptures.

This problem is associated with cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, cholesterol and poor lifestyle.

What is the reason?

* Consumption of junk food: Eating food rich in fat and sugar leads to plaque accumulation in the blood vessels.

* Drinking too much alcohol: Alcohol increases blood pressure and makes blood thicker.

* Stress and poor lifestyle: In today's fast-paced life, stress and lack of physical activity have become a major cause of stroke.

* Smoking: It weakens the blood vessels and increases the risk of blood clots.

What are the signs not to ignore?

F (Face): The face suddenly tilts to one side.

A (Arms): Have difficulty raising both arms.

S (Speech): Speech is not clear or sloppy

T (Time): Don't waste time, contact the doctor immediately.
