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.
