Scientists believe that controlling stress factors significantly reduces the risk of stroke. Even episodic stressful events can increase the likelihood of vascular accidents, including stroke, according to new research.

Experts state that the destructive effect of stress is determined, first of all, by the way people react to it.

The article says that uncontrolled stress can lead to the development of a number of health complications, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes.

According to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation, stress raises blood sugar and fat levels, making it more likely for blood clots to form and travel to the heart or brain, leading to a heart attack or stroke.

A new study by the University of Galway has confirmed this pattern.

According to scientists, the worse stress is controlled, the higher the risk of developing deadly vascular conditions. For example, when a person is exposed to severe stress at work, they are twice as likely to have an ischemic stroke and five times as likely to have a hemorrhagic stroke.
