RISK OF STROKE

HOW MILK CAN REDUCE THE RISK OF STROKE.

Different studies indicate that milk can reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome, which contains risk factors that increase proneness to stroke, type 2 diabetes, and stroke. Milk is a dairy product with casein content, which improves calcium absorption rate to help reduce platelet aggregation. Furthermore, observational studies have inversely associated milk consumption with high blood pressure and insulin resistance syndrome, risk factors of stroke. To reap the benefit, I recommend having 100g of low fat dairy per day.

The work of a family doctor includes a wide range of clinical diversity, which requires extensive knowledge and erudition from a specialist. However, I believe that the most important thing for a family doctor is to be human because the cooperation and understanding between the doctor and the patient are crucial in ensuring successful health care. On my days off, I love being in nature. Since childhood, I have been passionate about playing chess and tennis. Whenever I have time off, I enjoy traveling around the world.
