Light exercise at the beginning of the day

A sedentary lifestyle is a major risk factor for stroke. Try incorporating physical activity into your morning routine, such as walking, taking the stairs, or cycling. Dr. Ballantyne recommends aiming for 7,000 steps a day to protect your heart health.

Balanced breakfast

A healthy breakfast can have a big impact on your blood vessel health. Avoid foods high in added sugars, such as pastries, ready-to-eat cereals, or packaged fruit juices. Instead, choose whole grains (oatmeal, whole-wheat bread), fruits, lean proteins like hard-boiled eggs, unsweetened yogurt, and nuts. Breakfast should combine good carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats to help stabilize blood sugar and blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
