Maintain an adequate level of sugar in the blood.

Check your blood pressure regularly.

Eat a healthy diet.

Avoid being overweight.

Maintain adequate fluid intake.

Don't smoke and don't drink.

Do not self-medicate.

Lead an active life.

Exercise regularly.

Get annual kidney function and bladder checkups done.

The heart and brain, like other parts of the body, need oxygen to function properly. Oxygen is carried by the blood. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. Heart attacks and strokes are caused by disorders of the arteries. The same factors that cause heart problems can increase the risk of stroke.

A heart attack occurs when an artery that supplies blood to the heart muscle becomes blocked. Blockage of blood supply damages the heart muscle or results in the death of the affected tissue.

If an artery supplying blood to the brain becomes blocked, a stroke can occur. This is known as an ischemic attack. This occurs as a result of plaque detachment from an artery, such as the carotid artery in the neck. It can also be caused by a blood clot that comes from the heart and travels to the brain. Another type is hemorrhagic stroke. It is caused by the bursting of a weak blood vessel.
