Slash Stroke Risk by 73% or More!

 Slash Stroke Risk by 73% or More!




If you’ve known someone to suffer a stroke in winter, there’s a reason why it might have happened then:
According to Yale University researchers, chilly temperatures can tighten arteries and thicken blood,
upping the odds of a clot. 
Thankfully, experts say these comforting tricks offer protection all winter long!


1. Sip Hot Water

Wake up with a comforting mug of hot water mixed with a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and honey, and reach for a couple of tangerines throughout the day. 
Both provide extra fluids that gently thin blood to ward off clots, says cardiologist Stephen Sinatra, M.D. “Plus, the vitamin C and bioflavonoids in citrus strengthen and heal your brain’s blood vessels.” No wonder Danish investigators say citrus-lovers are 42% less likely to have a stroke!


2. Cuddle Fido!

Showering your furry friends with extra attention does your heart good. 
A study in Hypertension found that because pets offer unconditional love and comfort, they help keep blood-pressure levels in check even when you’re having a hectic day.


3. Crack a ‘dad joke’

Sharing your grandpa’s punny jokes is good for you—even if they make you groan!
University of Michigan scientists say grinning a few times daily curbs stroke risk by 27%.
Smiles (even forced ones!) instantly rein in production of the troublesome stress hormone cortisol, warding off artery damaging inflammation.


4. Dip bread in this

Drizzling extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) over pasta or warm bread lowers stroke risk by 73%, a study in Neurology found. 
Study co-author Cathy Feart, Ph.D., says an EVOO compound (oleuropein) stops blood cells from
sticking together to form clots.
The proven dose: 3 Tbs. daily.


5. Savor a soak

On a cold day, nothing beats a hot bath. 
And Swedish scientists say daily soaks prod the body to release compounds (heat shock proteins) that nix artery spasms, cutting stroke risk by 62%.
Bonus: Evening tub time helps you drift off 55% faster. 
And Tulane University scientists found 8 hours of nightly sleep cuts stroke risk by 35%.
