How can you prevent strokes?
Know your own blood pressure . Have your blood pressure checked at least once a year, and, if it is elevated, treat it diligently, to keep it under control.
If you smoke, stop; If you chew tobacco or snuff tobacco, stop immediately .
If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation.
Include exercise in your daily routine.
Eat a low-salt, low-fat diet.
Eat whole grains and whole pulses.
Ask your physician if you have circulatory problems that could increase the risk of stroke; Find out from your doctor, whether you have atrial fibrillation, which encourages the formation of blood clots that could cause a stroke.
Find out if you have high cholesterol; If you do, then, lower it by lifestyle changes like regular exercise and change in diet. If despite the lifestyle changes being adopted the levels persist to be high then think of medication to lower your cholesterol.
If you have diabetes, follow your doctors' advice to control the condition.
Eat 10-40 gms of unsalted non-fried nuts everyday.
If you are recovering from illness or a surgery and are in bed, then make sure you exercise your legs by raising it up and down 10-15 times every day.
