Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,397 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.

Beneficial effects of intermittent fasting and caloric restriction on the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems
Since this seems to produce BDNF and BDNF is good for your recovery maybe your doctor might prescribe that. Assuming your doctor even knows about BDNF.
My posts on it here:
Intermittent
fasting (IF; reduced meal frequency) and caloric restriction (CR)
extend lifespan and increase resistance to age-related diseases in
rodents and monkeys and improve the health of overweight humans. Both IF
and CR enhance cardiovascular and brain functions and improve several
risk factors for coronary artery disease and stroke including a
reduction in blood pressure and increased insulin sensitivity.
Cardiovascular stress adaptation is improved and heart rate variability
is increased in rodents maintained on an IF or a CR diet. Moreover,
rodents maintained on an IF regimen exhibit increased resistance of
heart and brain cells to ischemic injury in experimental models of
myocardial infarction and stroke. The beneficial effects of IF and CR
result from at least two mechanisms — reduced oxidative damage and
increased cellular stress resistance. Recent findings suggest that some
of the beneficial effects of IF on both the cardiovascular system and
the brain are mediated by brain-derived neurotrophic factor signaling in
the brain. Interestingly, cellular and molecular effects of IF and CR
on the cardiovascular system and the brain are similar to those of
regular physical exercise, suggesting shared mechanisms. A better
understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which IF and
CR affect the blood vessels and heart and brain cells will likely lead
to novel preventative and therapeutic strategies for extending health
span.
