What are the dietary interventions to reduce the risk of recurrent stroke?
Limited evidence supports dietary interventions to reduce recurrent stroke, with recommendations drawn from high-risk CVD and coronary heart disease populations, or dietary effects on stroke risk factors, for example, BP and cholesterol. Epidemiological diet and nutrition studies identify protective effects for stroke from regular consumption of fish, high consumption of fruit and vegetables and following the Mediterranean diet and the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, reflected in the AHA/American College of Cardiology (ACC) guideline on lifestyle management.
