ESPExercise plays an important role in reducing several stroke risk factors including hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol, depression and stress. By getting just 30 minutes of exercise five times a week, you can reduce your risk of stroke by 25%
Experts recommend becoming more active in your daily life through small everyday activities like walking instead of taking the car, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, gardening and housework. These small steps will help you to stay healthy and reduce your risk of stroke by 25%
In addition to keeping generally active, it is recommended that we all aim for at least 2½ hours a week of moderate to vigorous exercise each week. You can divide this up however you like, but a good way to achieve this target is to be active 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. If you find it hard to schedule half an hour a day or find it hard to exercise for 30 minutes in one session, it’s OK to break this down into blocks of 10 minutes or more throughout your day and work up over time.
