Features: In the past, people called diseases that appeared without any reason or warning "strokes" or "apoplexy." The phrase "a bolt from the blue" was used to describe a healthy person suddenly falling ill. Stroke is a typical example of such a disease. Many people who contracted this disease died, and even those who survived had to struggle with aftereffects. Now, as the causes of cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction gradually become clearer, most strokes and senile dementia can be prevented. In fact, stroke is a disease caused by lifestyle. Such as excessive salt intake, the dangers of smoking and obesity, unreasonable diets, and fast-paced lives. Therefore, not only is prevention necessary, but it is also essential to change lifestyle habits. This book is based on this theme, not only selecting methods related to diet and lifestyle, exercise, etc., but also providing easy-to-understand explanations for knowledge that people have been less familiar with so far.
