Yes but there are habits that are especially important for preventing stroke, such as getting 7-9 hours of sleep, monitoring and controlling risk factors related to blood vessel health that affect the brain uniquely, such as preventing irregular heart rhythms (atrial fibrillation), anti-inflammatory diet choices focused on brain health, and so on.
