Regardless of your age or family history, a stroke doesn't have to be inevitable. Here are some ways to protect yourself starting today.
1 Lower blood pressure. Wag kang high blood!
High blood pressure is a huge factor, doubling or even quadrupling your stroke risk if it is not controlled.
Your ideal goal: Maintain a blood pressure of less than 120/80. But for some, a less aggressive goal (such as 140/90) may be more appropriate.
How to achieve it:
• Reduce the salt in your diet to no more than 1,500 milligrams a day (about a half teaspoon).
• Avoid high-cholesterol foods, such as burgers, cheese, and ice cream.
• Eat 4 to 5 cups of fruits and vegetables every day, one serving of fish two to three times a week, and several daily servings of whole grains and low-fat dairy.

2 Lose weight.
Obesity, as well as the complications linked to it (including high blood pressure and diabetes), raises your odds of having a stroke. If you're overweight, losing as little as 10 pounds can have a real impact on your stroke risk.
3 Exercise more.
Exercise contributes to losing weight and lowering blood pressure, but it also stands on its own as an independent stroke reducer.
