2. Eat more vegetables and fruits-to prevent stroke. Eat at least five kinds every day, including carrots. People who eat carrots five times a week or more are 68% less likely to have a stroke than those who eat carrots only once a month or less! This is the result of Harvard University tracking 90,000 female nurses for eight years. In addition, spinach is also a very effective food to prevent stroke. The protective effect of carrots and spinach is because they are rich in beta-carotene. According to research, people who consume 15-20 mg of beta-carotene every day are obviously different from those who consume only 6 mg every day.
3. Eat more fish-eat fish at least three times a week, especially fish rich in omega-3 fat. If your blood contains a lot of omega-3 fatty acids, then your chances of stroke are even smaller, even if you have a stroke, the damage is even smaller. A recent study in the Netherlands found that people aged 60-69 who eat fish at least once a week, and those who don't eat fish, are less likely to have a stroke in the next 15 years. A series of studies in Japan also found that fishermen who eat 9 ounces of fish a day are 25-40% less likely to die of stroke than farmers who eat only 3 ounces of fish a day.
4. Limit your salt intake-even if salt doesn't raise your blood pressure, it may be harmful to brain tissue and lead to a minor stroke. Someone once experimented with mice and fed them high-salt and low-salt diets respectively. Mice fed a high-salt diet died of a stroke within fifteen weeks, although their blood pressure did not rise; However, only 12% of mice who ate a low-salt diet died of stroke. Mice that died by eating a high-salt diet suffered a series of minor strokes, which eventually led to brain tissue necrosis and arterial injury.
