Prevention of Stroke

Preventing a stroke involves managing risk factors that can lead to brain blood flow problems. Key strategies include controlling high blood pressure, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and eating a balanced diet low in salt and saturated fats. Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol intake are also crucial. If you have conditions like diabetes or high cholesterol, work with a healthcare provider to manage them. Medications such as blood thinners may be prescribed for some individuals. Regular check-ups can help identify risks early, contributing to better stroke prevention.
