Coffee, sex and blowing your nose could increase the risk of a type of stroke, say researchers in the Netherlands.
The study on 250 patients identified eight risk factors linked to bleeding on the brain.
They all increase blood pressure which could result in blood vessels bursting, according to research published in the journal Stroke.
The Stroke Association said more research was needed to see if the triggers caused the rupture.
More than 150,000 people in the UK have a stroke each year with nearly 29,000 due to bleeding on the brain.
Bleeding can happen when a weakened blood vessel, known as a brain aneurysm, bursts. This can result in brain damage or death.
The researchers at the University Medical Center in Utrecht looked at 250 patients for three years to identify what triggers ruptures.

If you are the guy with the beard and the helmet......... then I can understand the reason you aren’t getting any.
You lost my respect when you said add sugar and creamer.
Coffee is meant to be black. The way God intended it!
;-)
Ain’t none of us getting outta here alive!
Damn, I’ve been brewing espresso with Red Bull....I best not look at my wife’s Glamour magazine.
...I am screwed.
No don't do that! It may cause a stroke!
WTF!
These studies are BS!
Give them a year or so and they’ll be proclaining that coffee might prevent strokes. I’ll gurantee this is a Left-Wing Study that helps Leftist control people’s behavior!
We also might get hit by an asteroid tonight! I’m going to go and hide and never eat, drink or engage in any more activities!
What about those for whom sex only comes by stroking?
Mind-blowing sex is great. Never had nose-blowing sex, though. Guess it would be good to avoid...
Hey I did it this morning and lived!!
Pour water into the strainer basket without letting it drip out, to see how many cups it hold without running over; perk the coffee to that much liquid each time; grind your own beans just before pouring the grinds into the filtered basket (use brown non-bleached filters) and grind tewo tablespoons per cup of water; let the entire reserve of water perk into the strainer and sit for three minutes once perking stops, then put the pot under the strainer and drain it; coffee will be fresher, less 'parched' flavor, and very strong. I looked for a pot that has an eight cup strainer, which I only fill that full if serving a second and third person. Four cups made this 'strong enough to walk on its own' is my morning jolt. I use only french vanilla creamer in my coffee, or drink it hot and black. Crispy oatmeal cookies dipped in the straight brew are a nice breakfast ...
Oh, and put a Benadryl in your coffee.

After your coffee and sex, have the usual cigarette instead and then you don’t have to worry....
That stuff is more aimed towards “Emergency Power”.
With sugar added, it becomes similar to russian kava, nasty thick bitter with sometimes a hint of sweetness somewhere.
I don’t recommend trying it black and plain.
If you do, let me know what happens, I can add it to the testimonials section of the stuff.
Sounds like you did some experimentation.
Nobody will try and give the stuff to deer, will they?
Oh yeah! ... My stash is 100% Arabica. I would mainline the smell after grinding, if I could.
Truly I am a monster.
So how many people have you nailed with the stuff for amusement?
