      First acquaintance with the brain .
"Brain is the main organ that helps control body movement,emotion, memory, speaking , intelligence , work of the heart and internal organs all the time. "
      So it works everything and everytime. This is a fantastic organ of us. Today we know that how the brain's work less than the space discovered. The brain must work all the time and it would require more oxygen and energy than other organs. Which substances to use the brain power that is Glucose, the single molecule of sugar .Our body send oxygen and glucose to the brain via the vascular only. If there have some problem with the vascular system is like we are driving a car with no gasoline. When the irregularities of delivery of the oxygen and glucose. Brain will stops working immediately. And will totally stop working around 4-5 minutes after ischemia, become brain-dead that means working of whole body would stop also . When the brain was dead the physician could be guarantee that man die , too .

      Stroke is the malfunction of the blood vessels of the brain . We can categorizes to 3 types :
     1.Ischemic stroke and arteries embolism .
      2. Hemorrhagic stroke.

Making many hospitals have a team of physiotherapist and doctor to work in this field . Also , i took care many stroke patients. Some people began nearly 10 years and spent the most time on the bed . So i think you don't want it happen to yourself or someone you love certainly .

      Believe that everyone who has read the previous posts no one would want disabled . So we learn to get to know how to prevent deformation . Disability is "losing the ability to live daily with some or all of their own, whether temporarily or permanently". We can concern the person with a disability or not, we can see from their activities daily life . We often compare the ability of daily life that people do that before the illness . Very simply, when they can not help themselves as before illness. Trends and conditions will not improve soon. We also considered a disabled person . example: The normal diet you can capture spoon scoop rice enter your own mouth. But after the illness, you can not capture the same spoon to eat rice. Can not chew or swallow food normally. Or unable to sit, then use the spoon to own it is a condition of total disability . However, symptoms may vary with the diseases . We must get to know the condition of disability is to remind to everyone sees horror. And the importance of protection style .

      Now we come to the characterization of disability between . In fact, the share of disability can be divided into many way. But my article just divided into 2 types .
      1. Permanent disability . Or long-term diseases such as Stroke , Paralysis , Coronary Heart Disease , Degenerative Joint Syndrome, etc.. These diseases is still not completely recovered by current medical technology . In addition to violent death could be if not treated immediately. And sometimes symptoms of the disease is more severe if the diagnosis and treatment was not appropriate. Make patient care more difficult and more complex .
      2. Temporary disability . Is likely to return to normal. Or near normal. If treated properly fit. For example : Some types of nerve injury , Herniated Disc Syndrome , Temporary myocardial or cerebral ischemia (Transient Ischemic Attack), etc. Although such disease or condition is only temporary, but. we can not use a normal daily life. And some diseases are the warning signs of permanent disability in the future . Who are disabled in this way is considered lucky,but need to awareness . Because of your good fortune may be hidden within other serious diseases .

      I will try to present the way we can prevent disease for consistency and easy to understand. However, permission to say before I write that article was compiled from the experiences of experience with many patients. Therefore, some facts may not match the book or any textbook. Which ask you not to take as true. Please do not bring, or to reference in the event of a conflict with your physician . I believe in their examination and they certainly know better about your condition.

      In the next article I will describe the Stroke disease for prevention and treatment .
