Strokes can be fatal or lead to a devastating loss of brain function.  Strokes are a leading cause of death and disability. Stokes occur when an artery or smaller capillary is blocked from delivering oxygen-rich blood to an an area of the brain.  This can lead to temporary or permanent death of the brain cells in the area of blockage.   

These blockages can sometimes be detected and removed before a stroke occurs through painful and risky surgery.  But it is safer to reduce the cause of these blockages. 

By controlling cholesterol levels through diet and products such as Lipistat™, and through exercise, you can dramatically reduce the risk of strokes.
