Preventing Stroke At Any Age

Preventing Stroke At Any Age

Here’s how to apply the “3 after‑meal don’ts” and “4 before‑bed don’ts” into practical daily habits:

Morning/Afternoon Routine

  • Wake up and eat breakfast early (ideally before 9 a.m.) to align with metabolism peaks. Skipping breakfast or delaying it is linked with poorer cardiovascular biomarkers.
  • Eat moderate portions, rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
  • Limit sodium to ≤1,500–2,300 mg/day and avoid ultra‑processed foods with hidden salt or saturated fat.
  • Exercise regularly: at least 150 minutes/week of moderate aerobic activity plus strength training twice weekly.

After Meals

  • After each meal, wait at least 2–3 hours before napping or sleeping.
  • Instead of reclining, go for a 20‑minute walk to help digestion and blood sugar balance.
  • Skip alcohol immediately after meals—opt for water, herbal tea, or similar non‑alcoholic drinks.
