There are two approaches to diet most people use when figuring out how to reduce their stroke risk: focusing on what foods to eliminate and figuring out which ones to eat in abundance. Many probably go with the former. Since the condition is responsible for one out of every 20 deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it’s no wonder avoidance is so appealing. Though this is a completely normal way to go about building a better diet, it can soon leave you feeling as though there’s hardly anything you can eat.

Because no one should subsist on a diet of boneless, skinless chicken breasts and undressed lettuce, we think it might be more helpful to highlight what foods you should add to your regular rotation to reduce your risk. You’ll see some pretty expected choices, but others might surprise you. The next time you stock up on groceries, make sure these foods are on your list.

1. Tomatoes

Lycopene in tomatoes reduces stroke risk by more than 50%

Tomatoes heated for just 30 minutes boost the level of the cancer fighting antioxidant, lycopene by 62-percent.
