The Stroke Association encourages people to lower their stroke risk by “making some healthy lifestyle choices”.
Such moves include cutting down on alcohol, being a non-smoker, maintaining a healthy weight, to eat healthily, and to be as active as you can.
How can I have a healthy diet?
Your GP can refer you to see a dietician who can give you advice on healthy eating.
In general, however, healthier eating consists of:
- Eating more fruit and vegetables
- Eating more fibre-rich foods
- Eating healthy protein, such as lentils
- Steam, boil and grill instead of frying your food
- Do not add salt to your food.
