How to reduce risk of stroke
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.

* Help keep your “bad” cholesterol down by eating a diet that’s low in saturated fat and high in fiber.
