Recently we received a call from a man who inquired if we had anything we could send him on birth control. He and his wife were discussing the subject, and he was looking for information which could clear up the matter.
Besides cancer and heart diseases, stroke is the third leading cause of death. Approximate 1/4 of all stroke victims die as a direct result of the stroke or it's complications. According the National Institutes of Health, more than two million Americans suffer long-term disabilities from stroke, costing our society billions of dollar each year.
Stroke is caused by uncontrolled diet that is high in saturated and trans fats resulting in cholesterol build up in the arteries and high blood pressure. In other words, if cholesterol building up in the arteries is blocking the circulation of blood in any part of the body causing oxygen not to be delivered to the brain, resulting in some cells in the brain to die off and are unable reproduce, then we have stroke.
One of the adequate methods of control population growth is family planning . An expert committee (1971) of WHO defined family planning as ‘A way of thinking and living that is adopted voluntarily , upon the basis of knowledge , attitude and responsible decision by the individual and couples , in order to promote health and welfare of family group and thus contribute effectively to the social development of a country ’ .
