Stress and Strokes

A 2007 study published in Stroke journal has found a strong association between people’s inability to cope with stress and risk of stroke.
Coping and adapting quickly and well to life events is associated with a much lower risk of stroke.
Exercise is the perfect method for reducing stress, giving yourself some time out and has the added benefits of helping maintain strong healthy muscles to support your joints, improving your balance and maintaining a healthy body weight.
It is win-win, really.
