If you didn’t already know, October is Stroke Awareness Month—a time to spotlight one of the leading causes of disability worldwide.🧠 Key fact: Up to 80% of strokes are preventable through healthy lifestyle choices and regular medical care. 🚨 Key action: Remember F.A.S.T. Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call emergency services. Although given my understanding about the episode, I actually prefer B.E.L.F.A.S.T.— Which stands for Balance, Eyes, Legs, Face, Arms, Speech, Time.
This month, let’s commit to prevention, education, and supporting stroke survivors in our communities.
📅 World Stroke Day is October 29—a reminder that time = brain. Together, awareness saves lives. 💜. The quicker someone reacts to a stroke, potential stroke the more of the brain is saved so please remember the important take home point which is simply TIME = BRAIN
