Stoke is a condition that can be the result of a disease or affliction having to do with the brain or blood pressure. Stoke is caused when a wall of the blood vessels in the brain ruptures, either out of too much pressure in the blood, too little strength of the walls of the arteries, or by a blood clot being formed and ruptured in the brain. It can also be caused by particulates being carried in the blood stream entering the brain, however these are usually temporary, and don't have any lasting effects besides being more susceptible to stroke in the future.

Stroke can be caused by...

Overuse of drugs which restrict blood flow
Overuse of anticoagulants
Diabetes
High cholesterol
Cardiovascular Disease
Physical Inactivity

# data[].attributes.body
Stroke can be caused by overdose on medication or drugs used to restrict or help blood flow, which weakens the veins and arteries' walls and increases blood pressure.

Exercising, managing stress, and staying physically active can help reduce blood pressure, and prevent blood clots from forming, which can prevent or mitigate the effects of stroke.

Make sure to keep healthy and exercise regularly, manage stress, and lower the amount of cholesterol in your diet to prevent blood clots from forming and high blood pressure.
