Increasing dietary intake of fruit and vegetables could help slash the risk of stroke, though more information is needed on how other nutrients and diets can modify risks, says a new review of clinical data.
Due to small study groups, inconsistent data, and numerous variables, there is no one diet or nutrient proven to reduce stroke.
Bottom Line?
Plenty of vegetables and fruits are healthy for the body, no matter who you ask. When it comes to fat, salt, fish, and other dietary factors, there is no shining answer. But minimizing salt, avoiding fried foods, and enjoying life a little won't steer you wrong.
