Preventing stroke: Many are at risk and don’t know it
From the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) website
Heart disease and stroke are an epidemic in the U.S. Many don’t realize that they are at high risk for heart attack or stroke. The good news is that many of the major risk factors for these problems can be prevented or controlled. Getting your blood pressure and cholesterol checked are important first steps to reduce your risk.
Lifestyle choices can also help protect your health. These include eating healthy, exercising regularly and following your health care provider’s advice.
