Type 2 Diabetes - Stroke Prevention Is Better Than a Cure!
Whether you have Type 2 diabetes or are healthy, it is possible to reduce the risk factors and help prevent yourself from having a stroke.
Up to 80% of all strokes can be prevented with the right measures.
But it's a long-term plan.
You can't just do one simple thing and guarantee you will never have a stroke...
or diabetes, cancer, a heart attack, or any one the hundreds of other serious conditions.
Prevention is always better than the cure (if a cure is even possible).
The first step is to see your doctor and discuss the situation with him.
He will do blood tests to help determine any existing problems.
Diet is always a major factor that influences your health.
You should eat healthy meals regularly.
Speak to a dietitian.
He can discuss what you are eating and make suggestions to help you replace various foods with healthier foods.
You need to reduce the fat and salt content in your meals, and increase your intake of fiber, vegetables and fruit.
A sedentary lifestyle also contributes to the risk of having a stroke.
You should exercise regularly.
This increases the oxygen levels in your body and really gets the blood pumping.
If you are carrying extra weight...
you need to lose it.
A healthy diet and regular exercise will help with this.
Smoking is a very bad habit that can cause lots of health problems including strokes.
It can quadruple the risk because ingredients in the cigarettes accelerate the narrowing of arteries, thereby increasing the risk for clots.
Studies show if you have one or two alcoholic drinks a day, it may reduce the risk of having a stroke.
However, if you binge drink, your risk rate is multiplied threefold.
High blood pressure is the main indicator for strokes.
If too much pressure is being put on your arteries, they can start to narrow and eventually clots form.
A clot may form in your brain and block a blood vessel.
Laughter can actually help you.
This is so well-regarded there are hundreds of laughter clubs set up all around the world.
Laughter boosts the amount of blood flowing into your brain, decreasing stress hormones and increasing endorphins.
Tension is then eased and you start to think positively once more.
Your blood pressure is decreased and your immunity boosted.
Bet you didn't know all that! Finally having a pet can be very good for your overall health.
A pet shows unconditional love, is fun to play with and take for a walk and generally care for.
A pet can take your mind off your woes and make you feel less anxious.
So, if you follow these steps, you can decrease your risk for having a stroke and lead a longer, healthier life.
