Stroke risk factors that you have the Power to control
High blood pressure
High blood pressure is the most important controllable risk factor for stroke. Control of High Blood pressure is essential in the prevention of stroke.
Cigarette Smoking
Cigarette Smoking is another important risk factor for stroke. The nicotine and carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke damage the cardiovascular system in many ways. Oral contraceptives combined with cigarette smoking greatly increases stroke risk. Stop Smoking!
Carotid or other artery disease
The carotid arteries in your neck carry the blood supply to your brain. A carotid artery impaired by fatty plaque deposits on the artery wall (atherosclerosis) may become blocked by a blood clot. Peripheral artery disease is the impairment of blood vessels carrying blood to leg and arm muscles. That too caused by fatty buildups of plaque in artery walls.

Atrial fibrillation
Heart rhythm disorder raises the risk for stroke. The heart's upper chambers quiver instead of beating effectively, which can let the blood pool and clot. If a clot breaks off, enters the bloodstream and lodges in an artery leading to the brain, a stroke results.
Other heart disease
People with coronary heart disease or heart failure have a higher risk of stroke than those with hearts that work normally. Dilated cardiomyopathy (an enlarged heart), heart valve disease and some types of congenital heart defects also raise the risk of stroke.
Sickle cell disease (sickle cell anemia)
This is a genetic disorder that mainly affects African-American and Hispanic children. "Sickled" red blood cells are less able to carry oxygen to the body's tissues and organs. These cells also tend to stick to blood vessel walls, which can block arteries to the brain and cause a stroke.
High blood cholesterol
People with high blood cholesterol have an increased risk for stroke. Also, it appears that low HDL (“good”) cholesterol is a risk factor for stroke in men, but more data are needed to verify its effect in women.
Diabetes mellitus
Diabetes is risk factor for stroke. Many people with diabetes also have a combination of other risk factors such as high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol and obesity or overweight. This increases their risk even more.

Poor diet
Increases the risk of stroke. Diets high in saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol can raise blood cholesterol levels. Diets high in sodium (salt) tend to increased blood pressure. Diets with excess calories can contribute to overweight and obesity.
However, a diet containing five or more servings of fruits and vegetables per day may reduce the risk of stroke.
Physical inactivity and obesity
Being inactive, obese or both can increase your risk of high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
