In recent years, doctors note that a stroke has begun to be diagnosed with younger people. If earlier the elderly suffered this disease before, now it is often found in patients 40-50 years old. Experts call the main reasons for this trend a high level of stress, an unbalanced diet and a sedentary lifestyle.

One of the factors that increase the risk of stroke is high blood pressure. Its sharp increase is especially dangerous, which often occurs against the background of nervous tension or physical overload. People with hypertension must control their pressure, take drugs prescribed by the doctor and regularly undergo examinations.

No less important is cholesterol in the blood. Excess fat in the diet contributes to the formation of plaques in the vessels, which can lead to circulatory disorders. To minimize this risk, it is recommended to reduce salt consumption and abandon fatty foods. Preference should be given to posture meat, fish, vegetables, fruits and cereal products.

In addition, the emotional state is of great importance. Constant anxiety and stress negatively affect the work of the cardiovascular system. Although it is impossible to completely exclude stress, it is important to learn to control emotions and find time for relaxation. Yoga, meditation or simple walks in the fresh air will help reduce anxiety level.

For those who have already suffered a stroke, special rehabilitation programs have been developed. Restoration requires patience and regular exercises aimed at improving motor and speech functions. There are cases when people after a stroke returned to a full -fledged life due to perseverance and comprehensive treatment.

A stroke is a serious disease, but it can be prevented if you take care of your health. Compliance with proper nutrition, pressure control, physical activity and reducing stress levels will help significantly reduce the risk of developing this dangerous pathology.
