June is Stroke Awareness Month in Canada. As Minister of Health and Minister of State for Public Health, we join the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada in recognizing the importance of raising awareness about stroke. This month's theme aims to remind Canadians about the warning signs of stroke, which include sudden weakness, trouble speaking, sudden loss of vision, and sudden severe and unusual headaches or dizziness. You can reduce your risk of stroke by being aware of and addressing the underlying risk factors, which include hypertension, smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, high cholesterol and diabetes. 2, record 1, English, - Stroke%20Awareness%20Month

Juin est le Mois de sensibilisation aux accidents vasculaires cérébraux au Canada. À titre de ministre de la Santé et de ministre d'État à la Santé publique, nous nous joignons à la Fondation des maladies du cœur du Canada pour souligner l'importance d'accroître la sensibilisation aux accidents vasculaires cérébraux (AVC). Le thème de ce mois vise à rappeler aux Canadiens les signes avant-coureurs des AVC : faiblesse soudaine, difficulté d'élocution, perte soudaine de la vue, mal de tête ou étourdissement soudain, intense et inhabituel. Vous pouvez diminuer le risque d'AVC si vous faites ce qu'il faut pour réduire les facteurs de risque tels que l'hypertension, le tabagisme, l'obésité, l'inactivité physique, l'hypercholestérolémie et le diabète. 2, record 1, French, - Mois%20de%20sensibilisation%20aux%20accidents%20vasculaires%20c%C3%A9r%C3%A9braux
