Overview

A stroke is a condition where blood flow doesn't get to your brain properly. It's also the fifth leading cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the U.S. There are different types of strokes, including: Ischemic stroke, when a blood vessel in your brain is blocked by a clot, Hemorrhagic stroke, when a blood vessel ruptures and bleeds, Transient ischemic attack (also called a mini stroke), which is caused by a temporary clot in a blood vessel in your brain Strokes come on suddenly, and symptoms vary widely, from sudden confusion or a severe headache to muscle weakness on one side of the body. Depending on the parts of the brain that are damaged, people can recover completely or have permanent disability. Difficulty swallowing is one issue that some people experience after a stroke. Eating certain foods while recovering from a stroke will help keep your heart and blood vessels functioning at their best and help you avoid a second stroke. While recovering from a stroke, it's important to get enough nutrients, especially protein, to make sure that you build and maintain your muscle tissue. This is especially important when you are doing physical therapy exercises during stroke rehabilitation. Every person is different, so it's best to get personalized diet recommendations from a nutritionist. This is because research shows that, depending on your nutritional status and weight, you may need a different number of calories and nutrients. A healthy diet is key for both stroke recovery and stroke prevention. Each person will have different calorie and nutrient needs when recovering from a stroke. The DASH and Mediterranean diets can help reduce your risk of stroke.
