Change these habits; to reduce the risk of brain stroke

Studies in India have shown that over 10-15 per cent of people under 40 suffer from brain stroke. A stroke is the sudden loss of brain cells or death of brain cells because of blood plaque.

It may be because of the blockage of the artery from the inside that is called a clot or it can be cholesterol or maybe because of haemorrhage or the bursting of the artery, which can cause the stoppage of the blood flow to that artery.

Over 80% of strokes are ischemic strokes. The inner surface of the arteries is smooth which is why, when stagnation in the blood occurs, a clot is formed in the artery. This leads to a stroke. Modifiable risk factors involve diabetes, hypertension, alcohol consumption, obesity, cholesterol and drug abuse.
