Monthly Tip:June is stroke awareness month in Canada. Did you know that according to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, a stroke occurs once every 10 minutes in Canada? In fact, 90% of Canadians have at least one risk factor for heart disease and stroke. As well, the number of people who have suffered from a stroke between the ages of 25 and 64 is on the rise.
The first line of defense against stroke is knowing the risk factors and making changes to your diet and lifestyle to help reduce your risk as much as possible. This month’s newsletter focuses on learning about stroke and stroke prevention. It also includes tips on reducing blood pressure, which is the number one risk factor for stroke.
To prevent high blood pressure, focus on reducing your sodium intake and following the DASH diet—a diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low fat dairy and low in red meat and refined carbohydrates. Quitting smoking and exercising regularly can also help. A healthy lifestyle can go a long way to prevent stroke and stroke risk factors, as well as ensure that you enjoy a healthier, longer life.
