Increase exercise from the beginning of the day
If you cannot exercise in the morning, you can still increase exercise by simple ways such as walking, cycling, climbing stairs or parking further away. Limiting sitting for long periods and maintaining about 7,000 steps of walking per day will help reduce the risk of stroke.
Connection helps reduce stress
Controlling stress levels is an important factor in reducing the risk of stroke. Spending a few minutes each day meditating or reading inspiring sayings can help lower blood pressure and improve morale.
Besides, simple interactions such as a hug from relatives and friends also help the body relax, reduce stress hormones and bring a feeling of comfort. Chatting, texting or calling relatives is also an effective way to maintain connection and emotional balance.
Equal breakfast, limit sugar
A healthy breakfast should combine protein, fiber and good fats such as cheese, fresh fruits and nuts. At the same time, limit high-sugar foods as they can increase the risk of diabetes - a factor related to stroke.
Note that you should not use artificial sweeteners such as sorbitol or xylitol to replace sugar in coffee. Xylitol may be associated with the risk of blood clots and cardiovascular events.
In addition, quitting smoking is an important step to protect health. Smoking increases the risk of stroke. Toxic substances from smoking can go directly into the blood, affecting the cardiovascular system.
