My guest this week is Dr. Chinedum Clark, board-certified Emergency room physician since 2012. She's also a wife and mother of two children, ages three years old and 11 months. In this episode, we talk about strokes and a bonus conversation about balancing, family, and work-life balance.
Here are some steps you can take that may help you prevent stroke:
Monitor your blood pressure.
Control your cholesterol.
Keep your blood sugar down.
Get active.
Eat better.
Lose weight if you need to.
Don’t smoke, period.
Take medications, such as aspirin, as prescribed.
Aspirin is not appropriate for everyone, so be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. (www.stroke.org)https://www.cdc.gov/stroke/
