You may want to introduce new flavors into your salad by mixing iceberg with romaine or some other darker variety of lettuce. Remember, eating iceberg lettuce is better than eating no lettuce at all. I'd like to know what steps you think I should take to prevent a second stroke from occurring. A stroke occurs when there is an interruption in the flow of blood to a part of the brain. This interruption injures or kills nerve cells in the affected area.
Most strokes are thrombotic strokes.
Thrombotic strokes are caused by a clot in a blood vessel in the brain, which has been narrowed by atherosclerosis. A second, less common, type of stroke is called a hemorrhagic stroke. These strokes occur when a blood vessel in the brain bursts. Americans and individuals who already have had one. If you've already had a stroke, the odds are quite high that a second stroke will occur unless you immediately change your health habits.
