Deans' stroke musings: A Mediterranean diet supplemented with dairy foods improves markers of cardiovascular risk: Results from the MedDairy randomized controlled trial

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.

A Mediterranean diet supplemented with dairy foods improves markers of cardiovascular risk: Results from the MedDairy randomized controlled trial

So when is your doctor going to give you an EXACT diet protocol? Not just hand you this article and be done with you. But this: research has shown that eating a low-fat diet actually increases your risk of dementia.

A Mediterranean diet supplemented with dairy foods improves markers of cardiovascular risk: Results from the MedDairy randomized controlled trial

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition — Wade AT, et al. | January 28, 2019

In this randomized, controlled, crossover design, researchers evaluated the impact of a Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) supplemented with dairy foods on cardiovascular risk factors. For this investigation, they compared a MedDiet with 3–4 daily servings of dairy (MedDairy) and a low-fat (LF) control diet. In this analysis, 41 participants aged ≥45 years and at risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) were randomly assigned either to the MedDairy or the LF diet for their first intervention. The MedDairy intervention resulted in a significantly lower morning systolic blood pressure (SBP), lower morning diastolic blood pressure and clinic SBP, significantly higher HDL cholesterol, lower triglycerides, and a lower ratio of total to HDL cholesterol vs the LF intervention. Following a MedDiet with additional dairy foods, significant changes in cardiovascular risk markers over 8 wk were observed. Findings suggested that the MedDiet supplemented with dairy could be suitable for improving cardiovascular risk factors in a CVD-risk population.
