Reducing Your Risk Of A Stroke

By Colleen Palat

160,000 people are victims of fatal strokes each year, making this the number three cause of death among Americans. Suffering a stroke falls right behind heart disease and cancer! With so many people suffering from strokes, it is crucial that we identify the risks and the ways to reduce our chances of suffering from a stroke.

What is a stroke?

A stroke occurs when brain cells die from a disruption in blood flow to the brain. A blocked artery is an example of an event that can cause blood from flowing to the brain causing a blockage.

What are the risk factors?

The risk factors that can cause a stroke include high blood pressure, an elevated blood cholesterol count, an abnormal glucose tolerance, smoking, and left ventricular hypertrophy (an abnormality of the heart).

It is important to visit your doctor for a periodic check-ups to see if you are at risk for a stroke. If you do have any of these risk factors, the good news is that you can get them under control. Switching to a healthy lifestyle and following a balanced, well-chosen diet can help to reduce your risk of suffering from a stroke.

What should I eat?

Chose a diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables, which are proven to help prevent strokes. Because of the low fat content, they do not contribute to fat blockages that can weaken the arteries, causing them to rupture.

Vegetables high in fiber carry excess fats and cholesterol out of the blood system that would eventually block the flow of blood to the brain. Fruits and vegetables contain wonderful antioxidants that make blood cells less likely to clog the arteries…and they taste great, too!

Certain types of fish, grains, and seeds can also help to control blood pressure, thus reducing the blood's chance of forming clots.

Check out the list below for specific categories of food that you can add to your diet today!

Fruits and Vegetables - Bananas, green beans, mangoes, and potatoes, leafy greens like swiss chard and kale, chili peppers, onions, garlic, and leeks.

Grains, Nuts, and Seeds - Oats, oat bran, and other grains containing soluble fiber. Sunflower and pumpkin seeds, almonds, & peanuts.

Cold-Water Fish - Salmon, tuna, sardines, and swordfish are all rich in omega-3's, which can lower the bad LDL cholesterol.

Red Wine & Black Tea - Flavonoids found in red wine and black tea can protect damage to the arteries. Drinking red wine in moderation and even grape juice can help reduce your odds of having a stroke.

What foods should I avoid?

It’s important to avoid salty, fried, and fatty foods as well as marbled red meats and poultry with the skin on. Tropical oils such as coconut, palm, and palm kernel are full of saturated fats and should be avoided! It’s important to think that you want to eat “clean”. It might be a bit difficult in the beginning, but before you know it, this way of eating will be so natural and your body will feel great!

If you or someone you love feels that you might be at risk for a stroke, see your doctor immediately and begin to change your lifestyle and eating habits. Your health depends on it!
