The best stroke is the one that never happens.
Preventing a stroke is easy in theory (harder in reality), you just have to lower your Risk Factors:
– β‘οΈ High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
– β‘οΈ Lack of exercise
– β‘οΈ Obesity
– β‘οΈ Smoking
– β‘οΈ Bad eating habits
– β‘οΈ Alcohol
Reduce these, and you will less likely get a stroke. Simple as that.
π Take your blood pressure pills. ποΈββοΈ Work out. If you’re fat: π€ Eat less. βπ¬ Don’t smoke. Don’t eat too much refined stuff, π¬ sugar and salt. More fresh food, π vegetables and π fruit. πββοΈ Move π΄ββοΈ Don’t drink too much βπ» alcohol, drink more π§ water.
(We know it’s a bit harder than it sounds – but it’s worth working on these. By the way: This is exactly the way to lower your risk of cardiovascular disease, too)
There are some more Risk Factors, but those are harder to control. (Check the “… read more” section!)
