To Your Health
Stoke : Ailment Hits
400,000 Annually
BY BECKY ELLER
Alice Smith was in good health, ex
cept for occasional dizzy spells and
periodic numbness in her right arm.
She ignored these symptoms, believ
ing they were due to fatigue. She tried
to convince herself that the symp
toms must be insignificant because
they only lasted a few seconds. Within
six months, Alice Smith suffered a
massive stroke. Fortunately she sur
vived and is now undergoing
rehabilitation.
Alice Smith's story is certainly not
unique. Each year 400,000 Americans
suffer a stroke. A recent survey
shows that close to a third of all
stroke victims are under the age of
65. Many of these strokes -called
"cerebrovascular accidents" by
medical professionals- could have
been prevented.
What causes strokes? "Although
certain rare blood diseases and birth
defects can lead to a stroke, the vast
majority of strokes are caused by
blocked arteries leading to the
brain," says Grant Trevor, Physi
cian's Assistant with the Hot Springs
Health Program. "These blockages
can be the result of a clogged vessel
or a clot which has formed elsewhere
in the body and has travelled to the
brain. When the blood is unable to
flow to the brain because of a blocked
vessel, the brain cells begin to die.
The result is a stroke."
Strokes caused by blocked arteries
are called infarct strokes. Strokes
can also result from a ruptured blood
vessel which causes blood to pour into
the brain. Although less common,
hemorrhagic stroke is generally
more severe than the infarct stroke
and often leads to death. Occasionally
a weakened and stretched blood
vessel wall -called an aneurysm- will
burst and cause a cerebral hemor
rhage. High blood pressure, which
strains the artery walls, is also a ma
jor risk factor. High blood pressure is
found in 70 percent of all hemorrhagic
stroke cases.
A number of warning signs may
precede a stroke. These include unex
plainable headaches, dizziness,
drowsiness, nausea or vomiting. The
most common warning signs are
those associated with transient
ischemic attacks, or "TIA's." These
include numbness, tingling or
weakness in an arm, leg, or on one
side of the face; temporary blindness
in one or both eyes; temporary dif
ficulty with speech, and loss of
strenght in a limb. These symptoms
may last only a few seconds or
minutes but can last up to a day. A
TIA Is an ominous sign that stroke is
about to occur. Numbness, muscle
weakness, speech difficulty or tem
porary blindness or deafness requires
prompt medical attention and should
never be ignored.
The good news is that we can
significantly lessen our chances of
having a stroke. "Medical research
has identified a number of risk fac
tors which are associated with
stroke," notes Mr. Trevor. "These in
clude TIA's, diabetes, high blood
pressure, atherosclerosis, heart
disease, and obesity. Some of these
risk factors can be affected by a
change in lifestyle. Reduction of
these factors will minimize your
chances of having a stroke."
For example, studies show that
sodium -restricted diets and moderate
exercise can lower blood pressure.
Exercise can also strengthen the
heart and may even help dissolve
atherosclerotic plaques. Low-sugar
and low-fat diets can prevent obesity
which has been associated with
diabetes in adults. Continued high
levels of stress has also been im
plicated as a risk factor, so reducing
stress may help lower your chances
of suffering a stroke.
According to Mr. Trevor, "it is par
ticularly important that conditions
sutfi as TIA. arthersclerosis and high
blood pressure be treated. Medica
tions are available which can effec
tively treat these conditions and when
used in conjunction with dietary
changes, can greatly reduce your
chances of suffering a stroke."
With our sedentary lifestyles and
high-fat diets, stroke ranks third
among all causes of death in the U.S.
and is a major source of long-term
disability. Although not all of the fac
tors which can lead to stroke can be
eliminated, many are within our con
trol. Often needless suffering could be
avoided with proper exercise and
diet, and with prompt treatment of
symptoms which can warn us of an
impending stroke.
Living And Growing
BY DR. CARL MUMPOWER
About once a week or so, someone
or the other will accuse me of being a
workaholic. If you're not familiar
with the term, it means they think
that I'm addicted to my work to the
point it's an obsession. On one hand
they're right and on the other they're
wrong. You see, my work is my best
friend, and a pretty good one at that.
A workaholic is a person who works
to the exclusion of other important
aspects of his life-like people, hob
bies, spiritual values, and other
things. That doesn't fit me and it's not
the route I'm suggesting you take. I
do think it is possible, however, to
make your work an important part of
your life and benefit accordingly
from the experience.
Too many of us view work as
something we do so that we can have
the opportunity and money to enjoy
ourselves on our free time. That's a
very limited outlook on work and one
that is pretty well guaranteed to
make most of the work you do a
miserable or unfulfilling experience.
=n
It seems a shane the way most of us
spend half of our waking hours being
unhappy and disatisfied. It doesn't
need to be that way, if we can change
our attitudes a bit.
Few things or people can be a bet
ter friend to us than our work. For ex
ample where else can you find a bet
ter opportunity to excell and grow in
your skills and abilities? What else
feeds you, stimulates you, and
challenges you the way that work
can? Where else can you find the
potential for excitement, variety, and
success that work can offer? Sure, I
know there are lots of lousy jobs out
there, but I'm talking about careers,
not temporary stop overs. Tnose
kinds of jobs are like stepping stones
that we all have to cross to get to the
top. It's up to you if you chose to get
stuck on one.
Making your work your best friend
requires a few basic committments.
For starters, you've got to invest a
good bit of energy in your work to get
a good return. You can forget that
stuff about easy money and returns
for easy work. That's not how it goes.
What you put in the pot is what you'll
eventually be able to get out. You'be
also got to pick a type of work that
you feel good about and respect.
That's necessary to feel that you are
make a contribution to the world in
stead of justgoing through the mo
tions. You've also got to start think
ing creatively vs. stagnantly. A man
once said that the difference between
a job and a career is about twenty
hours a week. He was right, which br
ings us to another key to making your
work your best friend-forget the nine
to five routine everybody's so obsess
ed about. I'm not saying you've got to
work 80 hours a week, but I am saying
that you've got to quit thinking in
such a limited time framework. It
takes more time to pull off something
really worthwhile. You also need to
make your work a fun part of your
life. It can't be drudgery and
something where you just go through
the motions. Often, in the beginning
you've actually go to work to make
your work fun. Sounds crazy, but
your state of maid in this area will
have a lot to do with your ability to
make work a friend.
