May is National Stroke Awareness Month in the United States, a month dedicated to spreading awareness about stroke risks and reducing its occurrence. A stroke occurs when blood circulation to the brain fails or bleeds - it can be of two types; ischemic due to lack of blood flow, and hemorrhagic caused by bleeding. Unfortunately, every 40 seconds someone suffers from this medical condition while deaths attributed to strokes occur at four-minute intervals on average.  Learn more: http://ow.ly/6b4Q50IX4wy
