To help prevent a stroke:

1) Avoid fatty foods. Follow a healthy, low-fat diet.

2) Do not drink more than 1 to 2 alcoholic drinks a day.
3) Exercise regularly: 30 minutes a day if you are not overweight; 60 - 90 minutes a day if you are overweight.

4) Get your blood pressure checked every 1 - 2 years, especially if high blood pressure runs in your family.

5) Have your cholesterol checked. If you are at high risk for stroke, your LDL "bad" cholesterol should be lower than 100 mg/dL. Your doctor may recommend that you try to reduce your LDL cholesterol to 70 mg/dL.

6) Follow your doctor's treatment recommendations if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease.

7) Quit smoking.

From this list, it looks like most Kenyan's are a Stroke waiting to happen!!! How many things in this list apply to you?

2) Changes in hearing.

3) Changes in taste.

4) Clumsiness

5) Confusion or loss of memory.

6) Difficulty swallowing.

7) Difficulty writing or reading.

8) Dizziness or abnormal sensation of movement (vertigo)

9) Lack of control over the bladder or bowels

10) Loss of balance

11) Loss of coordination

12) Muscle weakness in the face, arm, or leg (usually just on one side)

13) Numbness or tingling on one side of the body

14) Personality, mood, or emotional changes

16) Sensation changes that affect touch and the ability to feel pain, pressure, different temperatures, or other stimuli

If this doesn't make you quit drinking and smoking and start exercising, nothing ever will!

You can do all these things and still get a stroke from work, spouse, family or financial related stress. And don't forget our polluted environment

BBI will solve it

@mcdoba....hiyo watoe kabisa!!

1 drink is equivalent to 12 ounces of <= 4% beer.
1 ounce = 29.6ml
Therefore 1 drink = 12 * 29.6 = 355 ml of <= 4% beer.

You are supposed to take at most 2 drinks per day.
That is 355ml * 2 = 710 ml = 1.42 [500ml] bottles of 4% beer.

Given that what most of you drink is > 5%, I guess you need to take a maximum of one beer per day!!!

@McReggae & @Kingfisher - I guess you can use Pythagoras theorem: Drink as much as you want but eat boiled food and exercises 3 hours a day!

@2012 - The exercise takes care of the stress - from work, spouse, family or financial issues.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
