If you or someone you love has already experienced a stroke, the risk of having another is higher than for someone who hasn't had a stroke. In order to reduce the risk of recurring stroke it's important to follow the doctor's orders, get as much exercise as possible (the doctor will make recommendations), eat a healthy diet and make sure that the patient is getting quality care.
