According to a report by the CDC, every 4 minutes, someone dies of a stroke. Of these deaths, estimates are that about 3/4 of strokes happen to people over the age of 65.

So, you may be asking yourself how do you minimize your risk of stroke?
According to Minna Masor, neurosciences clinical coordinator at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago, there are 7 things that you can do to help reduce your chances of having a stroke.
1. Keep track of your blood pressure. High blood pressure is the leading cause of stroke & one of the most controllable risk factors. Get your blood pressure checked often. Talk to your Dr. to see how you can lower your heart rate through diet & exercise. bit.ly/2yCHE04
