"5 Effective Tips to Prevent Stroke at a Young Age"

Dream - Stroke is a disease that is often experienced in old age, but it is not impossible for this disease to occur earlier in young age. This disease can be fatal if not carefully controlled.

Stroke itself is a condition when blood flow to the brain is disrupted. This condition is caused by blockage of blood vessels or rupture of blood vessels in the brain. This can cause serious brain damage and symptoms such as paralysis, difficulty speaking, vision disturbances, and cognitive problems.

According to the Global Stroke Factsheet, stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and the second largest cause of death in the world. Stroke not only affects the elderly but also young people under the age of 40.

Although strokes can threaten anyone's life with a long enough age range, you can prevent them from now on. Apply the following things and make them a habit to prevent strokes.

1. Healthy Diet

Improve your eating patterns by choosing healthier foods and managing meal times. Avoid foods that are low in saturated fat, cholesterol, salt, and sugar to prevent strokes. Increase intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grain cereals, and fatty fish.

2. Regular Exercise

Make sure you engage in plenty of physical activities in a day to enhance your immune system. Also, do at least 150 minutes of exercise every week to prevent various diseases.

3. Maintain Body Weight

One key to preventing stroke is by controlling body weight to stay ideal. Maintaining body weight can reduce the risk of high blood pressure and diabetes, which can trigger a stroke.

4. Avoid Excessive Stress

"It's no longer a secret, stress has a negative impact on health, including triggering strokes. Regular exercise, meditation, adequate rest, and journaling can help control stress, so you can avoid the potential of various chronic diseases."

5. Control Blood Pressure

Did you know that high blood pressure is a major factor in someone having a stroke? This is because that condition can damage blood vessels and cause a stroke.

To overcome this, you need to monitor blood pressure regularly. Don't forget to continue to strive to maintain blood pressure by regulating diet, getting enough rest, and exercising to stay within normal limits.

According to a study conducted by OMRON, regularly checking blood pressure at home can reduce the risk of stroke by up to 54 percent. So, how can one check their own blood pressure, which is a cause of stroke, at home?

To check your blood pressure independently at home, you can use the Omron Connect application. Inside this application, there is a blood pressure feature that is able to monitor your blood pressure every day.

Not only can it help check blood pressure, but you can also find out how high the risk of your body getting a stroke is by relying on the Stroke Risk Calculator feature.

"You will be presented with several questions based on research results related to your lifestyle. After that, the percentage of stroke risk will be displayed on the application along with the risk of stroke in the coming years."

"OMRON wants to introduce this Stroke Risk Calculator in the OMRON Connect application so that users can easily access it to measure the risk of stroke and take preventive action before it's too late."
Alexis, Director of Marketing and Digital Health, OMRON Healthcare Singapore, said during the Media Briefing event with OMRON on Tuesday, October 24, 2023 in Jakarta.
