<s>[INST] How can I reduce my risk of a stroke? [/INST] Risk factors fall into two main categories; (1) modifiable and (2) non-modifiable risks. Although you cannot do much about the non-modifiable risks, for example, your age or family history, most strokes can be prevented by changing certain other factors (modifiable risks). Example of these changes:

Reduce your alcohol intake.
Stop smoking.
Eat a healthy diet (less fat and salt and more fruit and vegetables).
Engage in regular physical activities.
Manage any underlying medical problems, for instance, high cholesterol or high blood pressure. Discuss with your GP if certain medications are needed to control your risk factors.
In addition to your GP, a number of organisations and people can help you tackle the above changes. Source: WEST SUFFOLK HOSPITAL. Link: https://www.wsh.nhs.uk/Services-A-Z/Stroke-early-supported-discharge/Frequently-asked-questions.aspx. Field: Neurology. Disease: Stroke </s>
