When we think of ways to protect our hearts, diet and exercise often come to mind first. But while doing enough cardio and eating well is very important, new research suggests there could be an even simpler way to help reduce your risk of heart conditions that can lead to a stroke.
It's thought that over three million women in the UK alone have a heart or circulatory disease, with almost half a million having survived a heart attack, per research by the British Heart Foundation. The way to prevent diseases like these is undoubtedly to stay healthy - but a new study has added one more habit to that to-do list after researchers found a link between good oral hygiene and the risk of stroke.
