Are You at Risk for a Stroke (Brain Attack)?

Take this simple test to see if you might be at risk for a stroke:
1.	Have either of your parents, grandparents, or any one of your siblings or cousins had a stroke?	Yes	No
2.	Are you 65 or older?	Yes	No
3.	Do you have diabetes?	Yes	No
4.	Do you have more than 6 alcoholic drinks a week?	Yes	No
5.	Do you have high blood pressure?	Yes	No
6.	Do you smoke?	Yes	No
7.	Do you have high cholesterol?	Yes	No
8.	Do you exercise less than 3 times a week?	Yes	No
9.	Are you more than 20% over your ideal weight?	Yes	No
10.	Have you experienced dizziness or blurred vision?	Yes	No

If you answered "yes" to more than one question, then your risk for a stroke is increased. Your risk, however, can be reduced through diet, by cessation of smoking, reduced alcohol intake, increased exercise and regular visits to your doctor to check your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels.
