Stroke (Holistic)

About This Condition

Several types of strokes can strike the brain with little warning—but you can cut your risk for future strokes. According to research or other evidence, the following self-care steps may be helpful.
  • Modify your diet

    Reduce stroke risk by eating lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fish

  • Steer clear of smoke

    Kick the habit and avoid secondhand smoke to lower your risk

  • Take a test

    Visit your doctor for a series of tests to determine if you have problems with high blood pressure or high blood levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, or glucose; all may increase your risk of stroke
