The things that make life worth living i.e. coffee and sex, 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.

Coffee 10.6%
Vigorous exercise 7.9%
Nose blowing 5.4%
Sex 4.3%
Straining to defecate 3.6%
Drinking cola 3.5%
Being startled 2.7%
Being angry 1.3%

All of these factors increase blood pressure which could result in blood vessels bursting, according to research published in the journal Stroke.

More than 150,000 people in the UK have a stroke each year with nearly 29,000 due to bleeding on the brain.
