According to MinSalud, among the risk factors for having a stroke are having an unhealthy diet (unbalanced, away from fruits and vegetables), sedentary lifestyle, high blood pressure (hypertension), blood sugar concentration (hyperglycemia or diabetes), high levels of lipids in the blood (hyperlipidemia), being overweight, obesity, tobacco and alcohol use. In that order of ideas, the portfolio emphasizes that to avoid a stroke with unfortunate consequences, fresh and varied foods should be consumed (including whole fruits and fresh vegetables); keep blood pressure at normal levels (controlled); cut back on salt, deli meats, canned meats, and high-sodium packaged products. Finally, do physical activity on a regular basis, at least 150 minutes per week.
