The Threat Of A Stroke Has Never Been Greater (in Young People!)


A recent Rutgers University study found that in the U.S., people ages 42-51 have a 43 percent HIGHER rate of stroke than those ages 62-71. Furthermore, stroke rates have more than doubled in people 35 to 39 and doubled in those 40 to 44, but DECLINED in folks 55 and older! 

It’s hard to know exactly what accounts for the trends, but it’s clear that adopting lifestyle habits that keep the cardiovascular system healthy is necessary. So kiss trans and most sat fats and added sugars or syrups goodbye. Eat only 100 percent whole grains. Avoid tobacco, marijuana and hookah parlors like the plague! Know your BP, and keep it below 120/80 — with or without meds. (If you’re at high risk, talk to your doc about taking two low-dose aspirins daily.) Also: 

–Make sure you walk 10,000 steps daily or get the equivalent physical activity and sleep 7-8 hours nightly. 

–Achieve a healthy weight and stay there! Obesity can spike already-elevated blood pressure, and that’s a major trigger of stroke.
