5 Tips To Reduce Your Risk Of Stroke
1. Make Sure Your Blood Pressure Is Under Control
There are many causes of stroke, but high blood pressure is one of the biggest risk factors, as it damages your blood vessels, causing them to become narrower and stiffer.
How to lower blood pressure? A healthy lifestyle is highly recommended – eat healthy, limit your alcohol intake, don’t consume too much salt, and engage in physical exercise regularly.
If your blood pressure is above 140/90 mmHg regularly, you should check with your doctor and get appropriate treatment. And if you have other health problems, like diabetes, you should try and keep your blood pressure below 130/85 mmHg.
