Through a complex system of arteries, our brain gets a continuous supply of oxygen.

The cells of our brain alone use more than 20% of oxygen in our blood.

Hence, if the blood doesn't reach the brain cells, they can begin to die, thus giving us a stroke.

The most common stroke is Ischemic stroke.

Ischemic strokes occur when the arteries supplying blood to the brain get blocked.

Like the roads get blocked in a traffic jam, right?

Due to bad lifestyle choices and stress, fats and cholesterol gradually start building up in the arteries.

If this build up ruptures, a clot may form blocking the complete artery.

As a result, the brain cells begin to die due to lack of oxygen and nutrients.
