About 15 minutes before a str0ke, the body usually sends out 4 clear signals

• B – Balance loss
• E – Eye changes (blurred or loss of vision)
• F – Face drooping
• A – Arm weakness
• S – Speech difficulty
• T – Time to call emergency services immediately

⏱️ Every Second Counts

The moment you notice any of these symptoms, call emergency services immediately. Don’t wait to see if the symptoms go away — a stroke is a medical emergency, and the faster treatment begins, the greater the chance of survival and recovery.

Doctors often say: “Time is brain.” Every minute counts.

🥦 Can Diet and Lifestyle Help Prevent Strokes?

Yes. While strokes can happen suddenly, you can reduce your long-term risk with simple lifestyle changes:

• Eat a heart-healthy diet: Include leafy greens, berries, garlic, olive oil, and fatty fish.
• Stay hydrated and active: Movement improves circulation and brain health.
• Monitor blood pressure and cholesterol: Silent killers that raise stroke risk.
• Avoid smoking and limit alcohol.
• Manage stress and sleep — they affect blood flow and inflammation.

Final Thoughts

If you ever experience sudden numbness, slurred speech, vision problems, or loss of balance — or see someone else who does — don’t brush it off. It could be a stroke, and you may only have minutes to act.

Knowing these early warning signs could save your life or someone else’s.
