The Basics

You can help prevent stroke. These are the 6 most important steps you can take to lower your risk of stroke:

  • Keep your blood pressure in the normal range.
  • If you smoke, quit.
  • Keep your blood sugar (glucose) in the normal range.
  • Stay active and maintain a healthy weight.
  • If you have heart disease, treat it.
  • Keep your cholesterol (“koh-LEHS-tuh-rahl”) levels in the normal range.

Making these healthy changes will also help lower your risk for heart disease and diabetes.
