Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

The Role of Nutrition in the Risk and Burden of Stroke

Useless, nothing that refers to ANY type of diet protocol. For blood pressure reduction; for stroke recovery; for stroke prevention; for dementia prevention; for cognitive improvement; for cholesterol reduction; for plaque removal; for inflammation reduction. NOT the lazy prescription of the MIND or  Mediterranean diets.

Since last reviewed,1 several epidemiological studies have reported the substantial role of suboptimal nutrition in the risk and burden of stroke and illustrated the potential for dietary modification to reduce the global burden of stroke.

Search Strategy

I searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, and MEDLINE using the search term stroke in combinations with the terms nutrition, diet, nutrients, foods, dietary patterns, risk, burden, epidemiology, randomised trial, systematic review, and meta-analysis for articles published between January 1, 2012, and June 1, 2017. I also searched the reference lists of articles identified by the search. I selected mainly articles published in the past 5 years but included older key publications.

The Role of Nutrition in the Risk of Stroke

Case–Control Studies

Diet quality was 1 of 10 potentially modifiable risk factors for stroke in the prospective INTERSTROKE study of 13 447 cases of acute first stroke and 13 472 age- and sex-matched controls with no history of stroke in 32 countries.2 Diet quality was derived from the modified Alternative Healthy Eating Index, which was based on daily servings of fruits, vegetables, nuts and soy protein, fish, meat, eggs, whole grain, and fried foods. Higher modified Alternative Healthy Eating Index scores have been associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease in previous studies.3 In INTERSTROKE, individuals in the highest tertile for the modified Alternative Healthy Eating Index had a 40% lower odds of stroke (odds ratio, 0.60; 99% confidence interval [CI], 0.53–0.67), and individuals in the second tertile had a 23% lower odds of stroke (odds ratio, 0.77; 99% CI, 0.69–0.86), compared with those in the lowest tertile.2 Individuals in the lowest 2 tertiles contributed substantially to the population attributable risk of stroke (population attributable risk, 23.2%; CI, 18.2–28.9) compared with the highest tertile of modified Alternative Healthy Eating Index.2
Diet had a stronger association with stroke in individuals older than 55 years …
