Many strokes can be prevented, and the everyday choices we make really do add up. (But no, we're not asking you to run a marathon or give up the Sunday braai! ๐)
๐ Check out these four habits that help to lower your risk: get moving on most days, eat less salt and more fresh food, stop smoking and limit alcohol, and take your medication as prescribed.
If you're on chronic medication for blood pressure, diabetes or cholesterol, taking it exactly as prescribed is one of the most important things you can do. Skipping doses or running out between repeats can put you at risk without you even realising it.
Your pharmacist can help you stay on top of your repeats and answer any questions about your medication. You don't have to change everything at once โ start with one small habit this week. ๐งก
