*** Today's Tip: REDUCE YOUR RISK FOR STROKE
Stroke is the third-leading cause of death in the United States. Some
stroke risk factors are things that cannot be changed like family
history, age and gender. But others result from a person's lifestyle.
According to the American Stroke Association, the following lifestyle
changes can help you reduce your risk for stroke: not smoking, keeping
blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels under control, getting
plenty of regular physical activity, and eating a diet low in
saturated and trans fats and rich in fruits and vegetables.
