We get this question often: Doctor, is stroke preventable?
The answer is yes. Up to 80% of strokes are preventable.
5 Key Risk Factors You Can Control:
1. High blood pressure – even a small rise can increase risk
2. Diabetes- silently damages blood vessels
3. Smoking – doubles stroke risk ( I’ve reduced the number and frequency.
NO, it doesn’t help.)
4. High cholesterol – can cause blocks to blood flow to the brain
5. Sedentary lifestyle – movement is medicine
Can Ayurveda help in preventing stroke?
Yes. Especially if you’re under high stress or have a family history.
Here’s how Ayurveda supports prevention:
1) Personalized therapies to balance the body and nervous system — like
Abhyanga (medicated massage), Nasya (nasal therapy), and classical
medical protocols
2) Customized daily routine and diet based on your Prakriti (body type) — to
regulate circulation, metabolism, and mind
