Exercise, eat well to prevent stroke
Exercise and a balanced diet are the best precautions against strokes, notes the Berlin-based German Neurological Society (DGN).
Citing a recent US study that showed vitamins to be ineffective at reducing the risk of strokes or heart attacks, it advised against regularly taking vitamins C and E to help prevent vascular disease.
The study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The DGN said its recommendations applied to people who had never had a stroke as well as those already suffering from impaired cerebral blood flow. Incorporating more exercise into one's daily
routine is easy, it said, by using the stairs instead of the lift.
The DGN also pointed out that people could help avoid high cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and thereby lowering the risk of a stroke, by eating fish and vegetables more often.
