Listen "Stroke Foundation #28 - Reducing your stroke risk"

Episode Synopsis

Improving your stroke risk factors can reduce your chance of having another stroke. Some factors you can talk to your doctor about, like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, cholesterol and atrial fibrillation, or irregular heartbeat. Then there are things that are part of a healthy life, like quitting smoking, avoiding alcohol, and eating well and staying physically active.

In this podcast, we talk about these risk factors, and we'll look at a new website to help stroke survivors to eat well and move more, i-Rebound.

We speak to stroke lived-experience advocate Meredith Burke, researcher and physiotherapist Dina Pogrebnoy, and registered nurse Fi Camino from StrokeLine.
