So with this your doctor should be able to tell you precisely how to prevent strokes and heart attacks. So ask them and not politely. They should know about this already if they were any good at all.

At the 50th anniversary of the Seven Countries Study (SCS) a website
with all kind of information about this study is launched. The Seven
Countries Study explored in detail the associations of diet, lifestyle,
other risk factors and cardiovascular diseases between and within
populations. The study was conducted among 16 cohorts in the USA,
Finland, the Netherlands, Italy, Greece, Former Yugoslavia and Japan,
from 1964 to 2014. It provided an abundance of data.
The Seven Countries Study showed that serum cholesterol was strongly
related to heart attack. Blood pressure was strongly associated not only
to heart attack but also to other cardiovascular diseases such as
stroke. The study showed also that cardiovascular diseases could largely
be prevented by a healthy diet, sufficient physical activity,
non-smoking and moderation of alcohol consumption. For a healthy diet
the emphasis will be on whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruit, fish
and high quality fats and oils.
The new website summarizes the history, design, and main study
questions, and describes the investigators, countries and cohorts, and
main study findings. These findings derive from the 10 monographs and
some 500 original articles published largely in peer-reviewed journals.
The first level of description is a brief summary in lay language which
is linked to the abstract of the appropriate publication in PubMed,
bringing access to the scientific content of the 50-year effort by
scientists, students, journalists, and all interested in healthy ageing
and the burden, causes, and prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
The SCS website is linked to other sites including that of the
University of Minnesota School of Public Health on the history of
cardiovascular disease epidemiology
(http://www.epi.umn.edu/CVDepi/index.html), the Alpha Omega Trial of
secondary prevention of heart attack (www.AlphaOmegaTrial.com), and the
professional website of Daan Kromhout (www.professorDaanKromhout.nl).
Wageningen University, the Netherlands, was one of the partners in
the consortium of research organisations involved in the Seven Countries
Study.
