Healthy Diet

健康饮食Be sure to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.

确保食用大量新鲜蔬果。

Eating foods low in saturated fats, trans fat, and cholesterol and high in fiber can help prevent high cholesterol. Limiting salt (sodium) in your diet also can lower your blood pressure.

食用饱和脂肪、反式脂肪以及胆固醇含量低的食物，同时进食高纤维食物可以有助预防高血脂。限制您饮食中的盐（钠）摄入能帮助降低血压。



Healthy Weight

正常体重Being overweight or obese increases your risk for stroke. To determine whether your weight is in a healthy range, doctors often calculate your body mass index (BMI). Doctors sometimes also use waist and hip measurements to measure excess body fat.

超重或肥胖会增加中风的风险。检查您的体重是否处于健康范围，医生通常会计算您的身体质量指数（BMI）。有时医生也会通过测量腰围和臀围评估体脂肪过多的情况。



Physical Activity

体育锻炼Physical activity can help you maintain a healthy weight and lower your cholesterol and blood pressure levels. For adults, the Surgeon General recommends 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, like brisk walking or bicycling, every week. Children and adolescents should get 1 hour of physical activity every day.

体育锻炼能有助维持正常体重以及降低胆固醇和血压水平。美国卫生局局长建议成年人每周应有2个半小时适度锻炼，如健步走或骑车。儿童以及青少年每天应有1小时的体育锻炼时间。



No Smoking

不要吸烟Cigarette smoking greatly increases your risk for stroke. If you don’t smoke, don’t start. If you do smoke, quitting will lower your risk for stroke. Your doctor can suggest ways to help you quit.

吸烟会增加中风的风险，如果您一直没有吸烟就不要尝试开始。如果您已吸烟，戒烟能降低您中风的风险。您的医生会给予一些戒烟的建议。



Limited Alcohol

限制饮酒Avoid drinking too much alcohol, which can raise your blood pressure. Men should have no more than 2 drinks per day, and women only 1.

避免过量饮酒，这会增加您的血压水平。男性每天不应引用超过2杯酒，女性每天不应超过1杯。



If you have heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes you can take steps to lower your risk for stroke.

如果您患有心脏病、高胆固醇、高血压或糖尿病，您可以通过一些措施降低中风的风险。

Check Cholesterol

胆固醇检查Your health care provider should test your cholesterol levels at least once every 5 years. If you have high cholesterol, medications and lifestyle changes can help reduce your risk for stroke.

您的保健医生应在每5年检查一次您的胆固醇水平。如果您有高胆固醇，药物以及改变生活方式能有助降低您的中风风险。



Control Blood Pressure

血压控制High blood pressure usually has no symptoms, so be sure to have it checked on a regular basis. You can check your blood pressure at home, at a doctor’s office, or at a pharmacy.

高血压通常不会有任何症状，因此请确保定期测量血压。您可以在家、在医院或在药房测量血压。

If you have high blood pressure, your doctor might prescribe medication, recommend some changes in your lifestyle, or advise you to lower the levels of salt in your diet.

Manage Diabetes

糖尿病管理If your health care provider thinks you have symptoms of diabetes, he or she may recommend that you get tested. If you have diabetes, monitor your blood sugar levels carefully. Your doctor may recommend certain lifestyle changes to help keep your blood sugar under good control—those actions will help reduce your risk for stroke.

如果您的保健医生觉得您有糖尿病的症状，他们应会建议您去做检查。如果您已患有糖尿病，请仔细监测您的血糖水平。您的医生会给予一些改变生活方式的建议以维持您的血糖在可控范围——这些措施都能有助于降低您的中风风险。



Manage Heart Disease

心脏病管理If you have certain heart conditions, such as atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat), your health care team may recommend medical treatment or surgery. Taking care of heart problems can help prevent stroke.

如果您有一些心脏问题，比如心房颤动（不规则心跳），您的保健医生回建议一些药物治疗或手术。管理好心脏问题能有助预防中风。



Take Your Medicine

服药If you take medication to treat heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes, follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Never stop taking your medication without talking to your doctor or pharmacist.
