LighterLife is excited to be supporting The Stroke Association during this campaign running from 10th-23rd May 2010.
Knowing and maintaining a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI) can significantly impact on your health and quality of life, and each incremental rise in BMI above the healthy zone of 20-25 increases the risk of premature death.
Its sounds like common sense but eating healthily, watching your weight, exercising more, not smoking and limiting your alcohol intake can all help to prevent stroke. Even moderate physical activity can reduce the risk by 27%.
Being overweight can increase your risk of having a stroke and LighterLife have teamed up with The Stroke Association to help raise awareness about the risks associated with excessive weight gain.
You post a message of support and we'll pay £1 to The Stroke Association - how great is that? So post a message, tell your friends, family and colleagues, anyone you can think of... because after all, stroke is the second biggest killer in the UK.
