Health experts advise evening routine changes to prevent stroke

Nutritionists are advising on evening routine changes to help manage blood pressure, blood sugar, and weight, which are key factors in stroke prevention.

Experts highlight several common evening pitfalls. High sodium intake from processed foods like pizza and instant soups can contribute to hypertension. Alcohol consumption is also noted for its negative impact on blood pressure, vascular health, and sleep quality. Additionally, excessive sugar from snacks and sodas can lead to weight gain and type 2 diabetes.

To mitigate these risks, specialists recommend following principles similar to the DASH diet, focusing on vegetables, fruit, whole grains, and lean proteins. Incorporating light physical activity, such as a short walk or stretching after dinner, is also advised to support circulation and blood sugar regulation.
