by Any Safarodiyah
It seems scary to notice that we’ve got free ticket to get stroke. May be we should say in other word... the risks to get stroke. If we have one of these risk factors, the higher risk we have. There are two types of risk factors, unchangeable risk factors and changeable ones.
The factors we cannot change are:
•Age, the older you are, the higher your risk
•Sex, male is at higher risk than female
•Race, Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians are at higher risks than whites
•Family history of stroke and coronary heart disease
•Prior stroke or TIA (transient ischemic attack).
The factors we can control are:
•Diet. Eat diet low saturated fat, cholesterol and salt may lower the risk
