Every year, 795,000 Americans have a stroke and 144,000 die.1 A stroke happens when an artery is blocked or breaks; as a result, the brain does not get the blood that it needs and begins to die.2 Sounds gruesome, but the more you educate yourself about diet and exercise, the more chance you have of preventing a stroke.

When I was a teenager I probably spent more than half my day sleeping or lying on the sofa napping. Most teens and young adults are like that. Babies, too, of course. They need huge doses of rest and relaxation (between bouts of physical energy and exertion) due to their bodies working overtime to develop and grow. But what about adults?
