A blood vessel had ruptured in her brain, leading to a hemorrhagic stroke. He said that his mother was perfectly normal one moment, but almost completely immobilized the next, after the stroke hit. Later on, she couldn\u2019t even perform the simplest tasks, such as taking a shower, feeding herself, or going to the bathroom. My friend found the drastic change in her hard to accept.<\/p><p>Aside from feeling sad for his mother, her sudden collapse had led my friend to worry about his own health.<\/p><p>My friend was a big meat eater and partial to heavily seasoned food. I vividly remember several years ago when we dined together the deeply satisfied look on his face after he had gulped down the last drop of a curry soup from a large bowl. He told me at the time that he had put on so much weight as he had gotten older that it was no longer healthy. Hearing him confess his dilemma, I advised him to watch his diet and go easy on greasy and heavily seasoned foods.<\/p><p>He responded: \u201cI simply can\u2019t resist the temptation of delicious food, especially when it is right under my nose. For me it\u2019s always \u2018Dive in and worry about losing weight later.\u2019\u201d<\/p><p>Who could have predicted that his attitude about food would take an about-face when his mother suffered a stroke? He asked me, a dietician, in all seriousness: \u201cAre strokes hereditary? What am I to do if I suffer a stroke too when I get old? What food should I avoid? What food can I eat?\u201d His about-face took me by surprise.<\/p><p>Since I became a dietician, when the topic of how to prevent stroke or other chronic illnesses comes up, the focus has almost always been on \u201chow to eat right,\u201d as if a stroke is completely preventable as long as one eats right.<\/p><p>And when it comes to eating right, the questions most often posed to me are: \u201cWhat should I eat?\u201d and \u201cWhat should I avoid?\u201d It is as though food is divided into two kinds: the kind that will induce chronic illness\u2014the so-called \u201cbad food,\u201d and the kind that will make you healthy\u2014the so-called \u201cgood food.\u201d<\/p><p>It is, however, a misconception to think that you will keep a stroke at bay if you eat only the so-called good food.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-78966b42 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"78966b42\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e0ecd3d\" data-id=\"e0ecd3d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-149cf38a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"149cf38a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><strong>Not the exclusive province of the old<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43d4c390 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"43d4c390\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Another misconception about stroke is that it only affects older people. Take my friend for example. He worried about being hit by a stroke in his old age. Sadly, strokes are not the exclusive province of the old; one of my friends was younger than 35 years old when he had a stroke. Though older people are indeed more susceptible to a stroke, an unhealthy lifestyle is an even bigger contributing factor. The best way to protect yourself from a stroke is to understand your risk and how to control it.<\/p><p>One time during a talk about how to prevent a stroke, I mentioned that the risk factors of a stroke can be classified into two categories: uncontrollable and controllable. The examples I gave for the uncontrollable kind included family history, age, and sex (males are more susceptible).<\/p><p>A member of the audience said to me jokingly, \u201cNo one can become young again; I can\u2019t go back to being a 20-year-old. I can\u2019t change my sex either. Does that mean that my fate is sealed?\u201d He was only half right, of course. Though one cannot control one\u2019s age or sex, there are reversible factors, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart and blood vessel diseases, obesity, drinking, and smoking.<\/p><p>By focusing on mitigating the risk factors under our control, we can take steps to lower our chances of having a stroke. They include undergoing regular checkups to determine our risk and what to do next, eating healthy, exercising regularly at a moderate intensity, and quitting smoking.<\/p><p>During another talk of mine, a member in the audience asked if vegetarians were immune from stroke. I was puzzled by the expression on his face when he posed the question, so I inquired as to why he had asked it. He told me that he was the lay disciple of a Buddhist monk who had recently suffered a stroke. Thinking that vegetarians were immune from strokes, he began to suspect his master had been eating foods he shouldn\u2019t have.<\/p><p>I told him eating vegetarian is not a sure guarantee against a stroke. If a vegetarian consumes too many high-fat and salty foods, he or she is as susceptible as a meat eater to obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes\u2014the medical conditions that can increase one\u2019s risk for a stroke. In addition to diet, genetic factors can also contribute to a stroke.<\/p><p>I advised my audience to adopt a correct understanding of what might lead to a stroke and adjust their lifestyle habits accordingly to reduce their risk of having a stroke.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1dc3a168 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1dc3a168\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-51f3c20\" data-id=\"51f3c20\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4752ee9c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4752ee9c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><strong>Time is of the essence<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74d430d2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"74d430d2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Right before the Chinese New Year holiday a few years ago, my mom, who was in her 80s and lived alone, came to my home for a short stay. A couple of days after she arrived, she told my husband and me she was experiencing a sudden blurriness in her right eye and weakness in her limbs. Her weakness was such that she couldn\u2019t even stand or hold a pair of chopsticks in her hand. I immediately rushed her to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with an ischemic stroke. (An ischemic stroke is the most common type of stroke. It occurs when a vessel supplying blood to the brain is blocked.)<\/p><p>In this case, my husband and I took action immediately upon suspecting my mother had had a stroke. That\u2019s because it\u2019s critical for a stroke victim to get medical attention right away. Time lost is brain lost\u2014every minute counts. Immediate treatment is essential to minimizing the long-term effects of a stroke and improving one\u2019s prognosis.<\/p><p>That\u2019s why it is so important that you and your family recognize the signs of a stroke, so you can take immediate measures should one occur. Common symptoms include a sudden weakness or numbness in the arm, leg, or face (usually on one side of the body); sudden trouble speaking or slurred speech; sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes; headache or dizziness with no known cause; and sudden trouble walking or loss of balance.<\/p><p>For decades, my mother had led a healthy lifestyle. She had annual checkups, abstained from smoking and drinking, and kept her diet simple and food mildly seasoned. She maintained an exercise routine, getting up every day before it was light for walks outdoors or other workouts. She was popular with relatives and friends. When the news of her stroke spread, many people came to see her. Most of her visitors were surprised by what had happened. They couldn\u2019t understand how such a health-conscious person as my mom could have suffered a stroke. Some of them even began to question the necessity of a healthy lifestyle\u2014what\u2019s the use of eating healthy and exercising regularly if a stroke was inevitable? Some even advised me to stop restricting my mom\u2019s diet. They thought that I, as a dietician, must have had quite a say in her diet and had tried to control what she ate.<\/p><p>Later, I had a conversation with my mom alone. I said to her, \u201cSome of our relatives said that you\u2019d been vigilant about your diet for decades and yet you couldn\u2019t escape the fate of a stroke. They said if you had known all along, you should have just eaten whatever you wanted to eat. What do you think?\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cIt was their way of expressing their concern,\u201d Mom said. \u201cDon\u2019t take to heart what they said. We can\u2019t ask everyone to see eye to eye with us in everything. My personal feeling is that if I hadn\u2019t tried my best to lead a healthy life, a stroke might have happened to me much earlier in my life than it did.\u201d<\/p><p>I then asked if the stroke had changed her attitude about her diet choices and if she now felt that since she was advanced in years, she should just eat whatever she wanted. She answered with a smile: \u201cNo matter how old we are, we should all try to eat as healthy as possible.\u201d<\/p><p>I knew of patients who ignored their stroke symptoms, thinking that they were just too tired and that they would be fine again after they rested up. Out of curiosity, I asked Mom, \u201cYou said on the day of your stroke that you suspected you had had a stroke. I figured you wouldn\u2019t have known what to look for. What made you think you had had a stroke?\u201d<\/p><p>Her answer surprised me. She said that she once visited a relative who had been hit by a stroke and saw how she lay paralyzed in her bed and had to depend on her child for all her needs. Her child had even quit her job to take care of her. The stroke had made things very difficult for them. \u201cLooking at them, my heart really went out to them. At the same time, I couldn\u2019t help thinking: \u2018What if I end up like her?\u2019\u201d<\/p><p>My mom asked the child about the symptoms of a stroke and committed them to her memory. That\u2019s why she wasted no time in seeking help when she noticed a sudden blurriness in her right eye and a sudden weakness in the right side of her body. Her vigilance had saved her.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7729b44b elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7729b44b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-50dcc373\" data-id=\"50dcc373\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37a11ad2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"37a11ad2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><strong>Working hard on physical therapy<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-514b7ace elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"514b7ace\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>My mom worked hard on her physical and speech therapies to recover from the stroke. She also tried as much as possible to feed herself, brush her own teeth, and take care of her other needs. She needed some assistance from me in the beginning, but by and by was able to take care of everything on her own.<\/p><p>One day, when I asked her to leave a bowl she had used in the sink, she said to me, \u201cLet me try to wash it myself.\u201d Less than two minutes later, she said to me with a smile, \u201cI\u2019m done.\u201d The happy smile on her face was no different from that of my daughter\u2019s when she first learned how to fold clothes at three years old. I complimented Mom on having done a good job, and she said, \u201cI don\u2019t want to rely on others to take care of me. I must get better.\u201d<\/p><p>Even though she was making very good progress, we knew that she still needed to be careful lest she have a second stroke. She needed to watch her diet, get regular exercise, take her meds, etc. to reduce the risk of another stroke occurring.<\/p><p>I remember a patient once said to me: \u201cEveryone\u2019s lifespan is predetermined. We should enjoy life and eat freely while we still can, and worry about restricting our intake of salt, oil, and sugar after we get sick.\u201d Interestingly, I also have had a patient say to me: \u201cHaving lived to my age, I\u2019ve eaten almost everything I wanted to eat. For the rest of my days, I\u2019ll eat healthy and watch what I put into my mouth. I don\u2019t want to become a burden to my children.\u201d<\/p><p>I know whose example I want to follow.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-23f05714 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"23f05714\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-36878359\" data-id=\"36878359\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6dd1181d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6dd1181d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"189\" height=\"170\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/07\/\u82f1\u6587\u9801\u5c3e-2.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stroke is not just a disease of the elderly.
