Controlling your weight is an important way to lower
stroke risk. Excess pounds strain the entire circulatory system and can lead to
other health conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes, high
cholesterol, and obstructive sleep apnea. But losing as little as 5% to 10% of
your starting weight can lower your blood pressure and other stroke risk
factors.
