Patients looking to prevent a stroke from occurring, whether a first stroke or additional strokes, there are quite a few lifestyle prevention tips they can undertake. To lower their risk, patients should focus on maintaining a healthy blood pressure or lowering high blood pressure, losing any excess weight through regular exercise, reducing alcohol intake, and quit smoking. Where it applies, patients may also want to take a blood thinner daily, and treat diabetes and atrial fibrillation.

Regarding diet, to reduce stroke individuals should consume a healthy, balanced diet with fewer processed and fast foods, and focus on lean meats, whole grains instead. They should also consume lots of fruits and vegetables. Diet plays a significant role in weight loss as well as lowering high blood pressure.
