On World Stroke Day, we underscore the seriousness of this health threat. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to a portion of the brain is cut off, damaging cells and often leading to disability or death. To avoid strokes, lead a healthy lifestyle, be mindful of your blood pressure, don't smoke, and consult regularly with your doctor. Remember, every second counts in responding to a stroke 🕰️🧠🏥 #WorldStrokeDay #HealthAwareness
