While this might be easy for some, a majority find it hard to follow these recommendations without tracking their nutrition through the day.

The study found that individuals with NCDs were more likely to contract the virus and succumb to it, especially since their exposure to NCD risk factors such as unhealthy diets, social isolation and substance abuse has increased amid the pandemic.

Strokes are the main cause of disability in the country as well as the fifth leading cause of death. Between 10% to 15% of the 795,000 individuals who suffer a stroke are young people, aged between 18 and 45, so recognizing the signs is vital.
