    Updated guidelines to prevent first strokes

    The American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association have updated primary guidelines to help people to prevent a first stroke. Every 40 seconds, an American has a stroke, and, every three minutes, an American dies from a stroke. Over 600,000 Americans will have their first stroke this year, a preventable event if underlying risk factors are controlled or eliminated.

    Do you need to work out daily?

    Do you find yourself not having time to exercise daily or at all during the workweek? Do you find it easier to dedicate time to exercising on the weekends? If so, you are not alone. Due to the demands of life, many individuals find it difficult to exercise during the week. Are the health effects the same whether you workout daily versus one to two days on the weekend? A recent study by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital, a Harvard Hospital, found that the weekend warrior pattern of exercise is associated with lower risk of 264 diseases and is just as effective as more frequent exercise. The study looked at over 89,000 men and women, who wore a wrist activity monitor for one week and were followed for 6.3 years.
