A diet rich in whole grains can minimize the risk of a stroke. These should be combined with certain foods.
In Germany, over 200,000 people suffer a stroke every year. Although the vast majority of those affected are on average over 60 years old: However, according to information from Center for Stroke Research Berlin one in seven stroke patients is younger than 50. For example, US rapper Snoop Dog’s 24-year-old daughter, who suffers from the autoimmune disease SLE, recently suffered a stroke. However, if there is no previous illness, the risk can be reduced with a healthy and balanced diet. For example, certain foods naturally cleanse the arteries and thereby ensure improved blood circulation.

- Certain diets have been shown to reduce symptoms of some ailments or even prevent illnesses such as strokes.
- One in the specialist magazine European Heart Journal published Study shows that eating habits influence the risk of stroke.
- Over several decades, scientists observed the behavior of around 420,000 participants from nine European countries.
- Researchers differentiated between ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, with ischemic attacks known as cerebral infarctions.
- Ischemic strokes occur in four out of five cases and are caused by the narrowing or occlusion of a blood vessel supplying the brain.
- Hemorrhagic strokes account for 20 percent of all cases and occur when a blood vessel bursts, causing a cerebral hemorrhage.
- The study showed that red and processed meat negatively affect the risk of ischemic stroke.
- Consuming eggs, on the other hand, increases the risk of hemorrhagic strokes.
- A healthy diet, especially foods rich in whole grains, can offset the negative effects of red meat and reduce the risk of ischemic stroke. Five foods have a positive effect on the risk of stroke: whole grain products, Vegetables, Fruit, nuts and seeds as well as Cheese and dairy products.
- According to the researchers, the positive effects on the risk of stroke come about through the effect of food on blood lipid levels and blood pressure, while nutritional factors do not appear to have a protective influence on the risk of cerebral hemorrhage and egg consumption increases the risk of stroke.
