16d • Stroke Prevention Tips
🧠 Friday Tip: Step by Step, Heart to Heart
We’ve previously highlighted the importance of physical activity and social connection in reducing stroke risk and supporting recovery. Now, let’s explore how combining the two can amplify the benefits.
👣💬 Walk & Talk Therapy
This isn’t a formal programme—it’s a simple, effective habit. A short walk with a friend, neighbour, colleague, or relative can help:
· Improve circulation, supporting heart and brain health
· Lower blood pressure and reduce stroke risk
· Release endorphins, boosting mood and mental clarity
· Reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression
· Keep you motivated, especially when walking with someone else
· Increase consistency, making it easier to stick to a healthy routine
· Support brain healing after stroke through gentle movement and meaningful connection
Whether it’s a brisk walk or a gentle stroll, adding conversation transforms movement into medicine. No gym required—just comfortable shoes and good company.
💚 Every step strengthens the body. Every word strengthens the mind.
👉 This weekend, invite someone you enjoy spending time with for a walk. Let your feet and friendship support your journey to better health.
