Denizli Özel Egekent Hospital Neurology Specialist Dr. Ömür Atacan Atasoy stated that lifestyle changes can play a major role in reducing the risk of stroke.
Protect Your Heart and Brain Health with a Balanced Diet
Emphasizing that one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of stroke is a balanced and healthy diet, Dr. Ömür Atacan Atasoy said:
“Limiting salt and sugar intake, choosing healthy fats, consuming plenty of vegetables and fruits, and including legumes at least twice a week can significantly reduce the risk of stroke. Protecting cardiovascular health is a vital step to minimize stroke risk.”
Physical Activity: Essential for Both Physical and Mental Health
Highlighting the positive effects of regular physical activity on stroke prevention, Dr. Atasoy stated that doing at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise five days a week helps keep blood pressure and cholesterol levels under control.
“Activities such as walking, cycling, or swimming support both physical and mental health and are among the key factors in reducing the risk of stroke,” he said.
With healthy lifestyle habits, you can reduce your risk of stroke and protect both your body and mind. For more information and support, you can consult Denizli Özel Egekent Hospital.
