Last Memorial Day, Teri Ackerson finished a 6-mile run in preparation for her next marathon, went home for a shower, then visited a Starbucks for a latte with her teenage son, Parker. Driving away, her grip on her coffee cup loosened as her left arm suddenly went numb. She felt …

Stay active, even at work
We know the best way to minimize the risk of stroke is to maintain a healthy lifestyle. But for many of us, 8 hours or more are spent in an office - not exactly the place for physical activity. But there are ways we can increase our physical activity at work while staying productive.
These tips can help you combat a sedentary office culture. Try a few and we guarantee you’ll notice an increase in energy and a more positive attitude.
Walking meetings - Need to brainstorm ideas or have a quick huddle with a few coworkers? Walking and talking in the fresh air can really get the blood flowing, and better circulation leads to better idea generation.
Sit on a ball - Yoga balls or balance balls may look uncomfortable to sit on, but parking yourself on a ball - even for an hour - can help improve posture and strengthen your core. Start out in 15 minute increments and increase the time as you begin to build abdominal strength.
After work recreation - If your company has a softball or kickball team, join in! If not, talk to your coworkers about starting a weekly game. Not only does team activities promote camaraderie, they also get you moving.
Stand up! - Stand up desks are becoming prevalent in offices across the country as people look for ways to increase their activity while at work. Studies have shown that sitting for long periods of time can be extremely detrimental to your health. A stand up desk gives you the option of getting your normal work done while while standing. A stand up desk is just a simple platform that raises and lowers so you can easily switch between a sitting and standing position.
Take the long way - Even walking up or down stairs a flight or two can get your heart rate going. And if you park in the far back of the lot, you can increase your heart rate even more. This doesn’t mean you have to uncomfortably break a sweat at work, but it will begin training your body to get used to the increased physical exertion. Soon, you’ll be biking to the office!
High blood pressure is the chief culprit of strokes, and atrial fibrillation isn’t far behind. Yet there’s good news — you can easily do something about them.
The American Heart Association shares what you can do to reduce your risk of stroke, even if you’re living with high blood pressure or atrial fibrillation.
Don’t smoke.
Get regular physical activity.
Maintain a healthy weight.
Limit alcohol to no more than two drinks a day for men or one drink a day for women.
Eat a healthy diet that is high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, include low-fat dairy products and limit salt, saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol.
Monitor your blood pressure and work to keep it at your goal.

Meet Amber Thomas (striped shirt).
On Super Bowl Sunday at the age of 13, Amber had a stroke. Fortunately, her grandfather was present and knew the warning signs. He was able to put her through a series of tests to assist the paramedics when they arrived.
Her symptoms included slurred speech, drooping face and headaches. She also experienced slight tremors on her left side.
When she arrived at the hospital (Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia), her braces had to be removed to do an MRI which made her head hurt.
Amber’s major symptoms dissolved quickly, although she suffered long term headaches that were worse in the mornings and had residual numbness.
In order to progress with her class, Amber attended schools for half-days. She had to give up sports for several months, but was able to practice with her team by the end of the year and play in the following season.
According to Amber, the experience made her work harder; she didn’t want to fall behind.
Today, Amber is an honor roll student and will be attending Drexel University in the fall for Biomedical Engineering. She hopes to make the softball team.
Congratulations, Amber!
