In today's show, we spoke to Anika Barnard - A registered dietician at the Heart and Stroke
Foundation to tell us more about who is at risk of having a stroke. This week
marks Stroke Week and tomorrow is World Stroke Day. According to the Heart and
Stroke Foundation, stroke is the 3rd biggest killer in South Africa . The Foundation reiterates
that stroke is a very real issue that many people are not aware of because of
the belief that it only happens to older people, yet they are increasingly
starting to see strokes in younger people too. For further information you can
contact the foundation on 0860 1 43278 (0860 1 HEART) or visit www.heartfoundation.co.za
