Ask your doctor and researchers if immediately after your stroke you should reduce calorie consumption to try to save your damaged neurons. Why don't they know anything about this idea?

Calorie restriction may not always be fun, but cutting back has benefits
beyond even weight loss. Studies have shown that eating less can help
slow aging, prolong life and even decrease the effects of diseases like
Alzheimer’s in a variety of organisms.
Based on this knowledge, a group of researchers from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) decided to dig further and ask: Could
calorie restriction also delay nerve cell loss in the brain – and the
changes in learning and memory that go along with it?
“We reasoned – and other folks reasoned – that because cognitive decline
and neurodegeneration are characteristics of the aging process, that
calorie restriction might also work in the brain to slow
neurodegeneration,” lead study author, Dr. Johannes Gräff from the
Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT, and Howard Hughes
Medical Institute, told FoxNews.com.
