Hope you can figure out the EXACT PROTOCOL to achieve this because it sounds like useless guidelines to me. And if you get a stroke anyway YOU can be blamed for getting one. This is just a way to deflect blame from the stroke medical world for their complete failure in even trying to get survivors 100% recovered.
Lifestyle, diet modifications decrease stroke risk in middle-aged women
Goodarz Danaei
The 26-year risk for total stroke was also reduced with sustained dietary modifications, according to the study.
Researchers analyzed data from 59,727 women (mean age at baseline, 52 years; mean BMI, 24.5 kg/m2) from the Nurses’ Health Study who periodically completed questionnaires regarding physician-diagnosed stroke, diet and physical activity.
“It is almost impossible to conduct randomized trials to evaluate the effect of lifestyle on cardiovascular diseases such as stroke,” Danaei said in an interview. “Therefore, the best evidence should come from observational studies with high-quality information such as the Nurses’ Health Study. We also used advanced analytical methods that allow us to emulate the design and analysis of a behavioral intervention trial.”
Diet information was used to calculate usual intake of poultry, processed and unprocessed red meat, nuts, fruits and vegetables, refined grains, whole grains, alcohol and fish.
The risk for total stroke, hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke was estimated between 1986 and 2012 based on moderate to vigorous intensity exercise of at least 30 minutes per day, smoking cessation and BMI reduction by 5%. Researchers investigated several dietary strategies including eating at least one serving of nuts per day, eating three or more servings of fish per week and eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables per day.
With no lifestyle intervention, the estimated 26-year risk for total stroke was 4.7% (95% CI, 4.5-4.9), 2.5% for ischemic stroke (95% CI, 2.4-2.6) and 0.7% for hemorrhagic stroke (95% CI, 0.6-0.8).
The estimated 26-year risk for total stroke (3.5%; 95% CI, 2.6-4.3) and ischemic stroke (1.6%; 95% CI, 1.1-2.1) decreased with combined nondietary interventions including exercise, smoking cessation and weight loss. Estimated risk for hemorrhagic stroke was similar with most strategies except for an isolated strategy of an increased intake of fish (0.5%; 95% CI, 0.4-0.7).
