Neurologist avoids three habits to lower stroke risk

Neurologist Dr. Baibing Chen avoids energy drinks due to high caffeine and stimulants that can disrupt blood vessels and increase stroke risk. He also avoids holding his breath while lifting heavy weights, as this can cause dangerous blood pressure spikes. Additionally, he is cautious of certain yoga poses that strain the neck. These habits are avoided to reduce the risk of stroke, a serious medical emergency where blood supply to the brain is interrupted.
