Whether you’ve ever had a stroke or not, there are things you can do to minimise your risk.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers these suggestions:
Today’s Health Tips
* Keep blood pressure under control with lifestyle changes, and, if necessary, medication.
* Help prevent diabetes by eating a healthy diet, losing extra weight and getting regular exercise.
* Avoid use of any tobacco products.
* Get treatment for atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). Left untreated, the condition can cause clots that can lead to stroke.
