Nobody Wants a Stroke

Nobody wants a stroke.  Many diseases don't truly affect you life, but strokes can change your life forever.

Science has given us proven ways to prevent strokes.

Here are the best tips:

1. Don't smoke.

2. Find out if you have high blood pressure.

3. Treat high blood pressure by taking your medicine, avoiding salt, eating more fruit and vegetables and low fat dairy products.

4. Walk or do some kind of exercise every day. If you are already active try and become more active.

6. Watch your weight. Try and lose weight, but if you can't lose weight, at least don't gain weight.

7. Sleep about eight hours a night. If you have sleep apnea, get it treated.

8. If you have high cholesterol or have already had a stroke or heart attack make sure to take your cholesterol medicine.

Preventing a problem is better and easier than fixing a problem.  Share this information with someone you know.  No one should miss a chance to avoid a stroke.
