HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD YOU DRINK A DAY TO PREVENT A STROKE?

– How much water should you drink a day to prevent a stroke?

At least five glasses every day.

– Can dehydration cause a stroke?

Possibly, yes because lack of water in the body causes blood to thicken. As a result, it reduces proper circulation to the brain, and may potentially risk a stroke. Even researchers suggest that stroke patients that keep high hydration levels can get a better outcome with the condition.

– What else can happen if you don’t drink enough water?

You may show other symptoms, including;

  • Loss of balance
  • Confusion
  • Headache
  • Vision issues
  • Dizziness

– What else can you do to prevent a stroke ?

I recommend the tips below;

  • Keep your fluid levels high by drinking lots of pure water, especially when you exercise in hot environments.
  • Address any earlier symptoms in good time, including dry lips, limited urine, or dry eyes because the earlier the better.
  • Call your doctor if you experience any stroke symptoms.

I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
