HHS HealthBeat: Staving off stroke HHS HealthBeat (November 28, 2011) Staving off stroke One way to reduce your risk of stroke is to maintain your brain. Strokes are often caused by a blockage in an artery that carries blood to the brain, so keeping your arteries healthy can reduce your risk of a stroke. At the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Amy Valderrama shares some ways on how to do it: ``Eat a healthy diet that’s low in saturated fat and cholesterol, high in fiber, and low in salt or sodium. Maintain a healthy weight. Be physically active. Don’t smoke. And limit alcohol use.’’ (12 seconds) If you or someone you know seems to be having a stroke, call 911 immediately. The sooner you get help, the greater the chances of recovery. And although strokes are more common among older people, they can happen at any age. | | You are subscribed to Daily HealthBeat Tip for U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services.
