Here are some key takeaways:  Blockages in blood vessels supplying blood to the brain may lead to a brain stroke. It is different from a heart attack or cardiac arrest.Diabetes, hypertension, Obesity, smoking, and use of tobacco are the major risk factors that contribute to a brain stroke.Statins may help stabilize the plaque and reduce LDL cholesterol levels.Brain stroke can happen due to occlusion (blockage) in arteries or hemorrhage(rupture) of blood vessels. A person experiencing a Transient Ischemic Attack might have difficulty speaking. Unfortunately, in the symptoms of a brain stroke, there is no pain. Running and other endurance activities may help condition your heart and even keep your baseline heart rate in check.A well planned workout program is helpful in mitigation of similar issues including a condition such as brain stroke.About Vikas Singh: Vikas Singh, an MBA from Chicago Booth, worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, APGlobale, and Reliance before coming up with the idea of democratizing fitness knowledge and helping beginners get on a fitness journey.
