There has been a lot of coverage in the news about how to recognize the signs of a stroke, because early intervention is key to the chances of survival. Less is published about the risk factors for stroke, so we want to tie it all together for you.

Diet plays a huge part in stroke risk, as it does for many other conditions. In fact, following a heart-healthy diet will offer significant stroke protection as well. Why is that? Well, a stroke occurs when blood flow becomes blocked to a portion of the brain.

A heart attack is when a blockage causes blood flow to be cut off from a portion of the heart. So anything we can do to prevent harmful build up in our arteries helps maintain a healthy blood flow and ensures that every part of our bodies receives enough oxygen.
