Does cerebrovascular disease have anything to do with a lifestyle?

Condition analysis:
Well, lifestyle can impact it, but it can happen to the most healthy person living the most stable life. Smoking and drinking alcohol to excess are big contributors, as is being obese, and eating high fat diets. Still, abstaining from all that doesn't guarantee that you will be fine.

Instructions:
Traditional Chinese Medicine:
Acupuncture Acupuncture can be used to lower cholesterol and blood pressure, as well as improve the flow of blood through the arteries in order to prevent a stroke. It also may be helpful in unblocking energy pathways following a stroke, which can hasten the patient's recovery and help prevent paralysis.

Acupressure:
Acupressure may prevent a stroke by rejuvenating blood flow through clogged arteries. It also helps stimulate muscles that may have been weakened by a stroke and increase energy and stamina in patients with impaired immune systems.

Chinese Herbal Therapy:
Chinese medicine views a stroke as an internal damp-wind condition that impairs brain and circulatory functioning, and herbs are typically prescribed to remedy this underlying disorder as well.
