This week we had a discussion around the topic of lifestyle and the impact of stroke.
We watched videos from the Stroke and Heart Foundation of Canada and held some discussion around this. You can find the videos here.
One of the main points that stood out during our group was that after a stroke your life changes and won't be the same again. For a person who has very recently experienced this it may sound extremely daunting; however it was pointed out that this new life path can be a positive one. Many people have made changes to their lifestyle that improved their quality of life as well as their general health. These changes that need to be looked at include:- Diet
- Reducing stress
- Safe exercise
- Having a support system
I have attached the power point presentation used in our group as a resource. This can be used for similar groups but is particularly for our members to download and keep.
