Stroke Prevention
Contrary to popular belief, stroke does not strike a person unawares, like a thief in the night. This ailment is, in fact, easily preventable and you do this by lowering your risk for experiencing one.
To lower your risk of stroke you should:
- Be aware of your blood pressure
- Have a medical check up to see if you have arterial fibrillation
- Stop smoking
- Stop drinking alcohol (or just drink in moderation or socially)
- Monitor your cholesterol level
- Find out if you suffer from diabetes
- Exercise daily
- Reduce salt and fat in your diet
- Have a medical check up to see if your blood circulation is good, and
- Know the symptoms of the ailment.
