> worry instead about stroke.

You say that as if stroke is orthogonal to heart disease. Much of what prevents one prevents the other.



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.
