Stroke prevention

Physical wellness plays a critical role in lowering the risk for stroke. The American Heart Association’s Life’s Simple 7 is a good starting point. These are the seven factors that people can improve through lifestyle changes to help achieve ideal cardiovascular health:

  • Manage blood pressure
  • Control cholesterol
  • Reduce blood sugar
  • Get active
  • Eat healthy foods
  • Lose weight
  • Stop smoking
