Preventing a stroke

You can significantly reduce your risk of having a stroke by:

eating a healthy diet
taking regular exercise
following the recommended guidelines on alcohol intake (not drinking more than 14 units a week)
not smoking

If you have a condition that increases your risk of a stroke, it's important to manage it effectively. For example, taking medicine you have been prescribed to lower high blood pressure or cholesterol levels.

If you have had a stroke or TIA in the past, these measures are particularly important because your risk of having another stroke is greatly increased.
