Preventing a stroke is possible by following a healthy lifestyle. Here are some of the things that you can do:<\/span><\/p>\n

Having Proper Diet<\/b><\/h3>\n

You can reduce the risk of stroke by opting to eat healthy meals and snacks. It is also highly recommended to eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables. You can lower your cholesterol levels by consuming food that is low in trans fat, cholesterol, and trans fat and high in fiber. You can lower your blood pressure by cutting down on salt. Having high cholesterol levels and blood pressure increases your risk of a stroke.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Maintaining the Right Weight<\/b><\/h3>\n

Another risk factor for stroke is being overweight. You can check if your weight is right for your health by calculating your BMI or body mass index. You just need to know your height and weight to compute this. Health professionals sometimes measure the hip and waist to check the amount of excess body fat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Being Active<\/b><\/h3>\n

Doing physical activities helps maintain the right weight and reduces your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. The recommended moderate-intensity aerobic activity for an adult is around 2 hours and 30 minutes. This can be achieved by brisk walking every week. For children and teenagers, 1 hour of physical activity is ideal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not Smoking<\/b><\/h3>\n

You are at a higher risk of getting a stroke when you smoke, so it is best to quit it. If you find it challenging to stop, you can consult a doctor. They can give suggestions on how you can do it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
