NUMBERS SO HIGH? WHAT ARE YOU SEEING IN YOUR
PRACTICE AND WHY?

SECTOR IS THE UN-BUSY LYSOL
LIFESTYLE OR ON BUSY BEHAVIOR
BECAUSE THE DIET IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTOR.4@
AND IN SOUTH CA4@ROLINA WE FRY
EVERYTHING.
THE DIET IS HIGH IN CALORIES
AND FAT CONTENT.
IT IS HIGH IN FAT AND WE DON'T
NEED THAT MUCH FIBER.
4@
IT IS HIGH IN FAT AND WE DON'T NEED THAT MUCH FIBER. FOR DIET IS PRETTY MUCH THE
MOST IMPORTANT 4@4@FACTOR AND P
DIET MEANS IT CA4@N LEAD TO
OBESITY, CAN LEAD TO HIGH BLOOD
PR4@ESSURE AND DIABETES,
CHOLESTEROL AND HEART
CONDITIONS IN ALL THESE ARE
INDEPENDENT FACTORS FOR STROKE.
ALSO I WOULD SAY SMOKING IS THE
BIG CONTRIBUTOR AND 4@IN OUR
COMMUNITY SMOKING IS HIGHLY
PREVALENT.
WE HAVE LIKE LOWER EDUCATION
AND INSTEAD OF 4@LACK OF
AWARENESS ABOUT STROKE IN
DIFFERENT MEDICAL CONDITIONS
AND ARE LIMITED ACCESS TO
HEALTHCARE.
I THINK ALL OF THESE ARE
CONTRIBUTING BIG TIME.

AND MY DIET 4@MOSTLY A LITTLE MORE SERIOUSLY.
