Cut Risk of "Silent" Stroke With This...
Dear Reader,
New research finds that those who keep up moderate to intense exercise as they get older may be less likely to develop the tiny brain lesions that are also known as "silent" strokes. These strokes are so named because at the time they happen, no one knows it, the patient just doesn't have the symptoms of a major stroke. There's no severe headache, speech problems, dizziness or paralysis.
Though unseen, doctors know that these strokes are dangerous - they've been associated with an increased risk for falls, impaired mobility, memory problems and even dementia itself, as well as upping the risk for a bigger, more visible stroke.
Regular exercise has been found to offer some protection against the more clinically evident stroke, the one we all would recognize, but the role of being active when it comes to "silent" stroke has not been well researched. Until now.
This most recent study included almost 1,200 older subjects taken from the Northern Manhattan Study who had no stroke history, and were 55 and older when they entered the program. They all filled out a detailed questionnaire on how often and how intensely they exercised, using the two weeks just past as a guide.
Six years later the participants (average age now 70) underwent an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) of the brain. The scans found that 197 of the subjects (16%) had the tiny brain lesions that indicate they'd had a "silent" stroke.
Those who said they'd engaged in moderate to intense exercise were found to be 40% less likely to have dangerous brain lesions than those who didn't do any exercise at all. This held true even after the team of researchers from Columbia University and the University of Miami accounted for other risk factors for stroke - things like high cholesterol or high blood pressure.

Cut Risk of "Silent" Stroke With This... Continued...
Doing light exercise on a regular basis... golf, bowling, dancing or walking
didn't have an impact on "silent" stroke risk, a surprising finding even for
study author Joshua Willey of Columbia. Of course that's not to say these activities
don't bring a health benefit, they most certainly do. And they add pleasure to
life, which is no less important. It may simply be that to get the full benefit
in terms of "silent" stroke, a certain level of intensity must be achieved.
Also, since a small 36% of the study subjects reported doing light activity,
the sample size may simply be too tiny to draw accurate conclusions. It's important
to note too that the study is not suggesting that exercise keeps a "silent" stroke
from happening, only that those who exercised vigorously had a lower risk of
these events. What's more, the exercise levels were self-reported, and the brain
scans came several years later. There may be other factors that contribute to
the overall picture, things we've yet to uncover or understand.
The American Heart Association suggests that healthy, able adults do a minimum
of 150 minutes each week of moderately intense exercise. If the workout is more
intense and rigorous, 75 minutes a week is fine. Activities that count include
anything from a brisk walk, working in the garden, doing housework, swimming,
outdoor activities like jogging, hiking and biking, or sports like tennis. If
you're older, and you haven't been active in a while, don't just jump in, but
talk to your doctor about an appropriate, medically supervised exercise program
to get you started.
Doctors know that being active helps the body for many reasons... both seen and
unseen.
To your good health,
