Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 34,264 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.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain!trillions and trillions of neuronsthatDIEeach day because there areNOeffective 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.

Researchers
looked at the links between plant-based diet quality and the risk of
total, ischemic, and hemorrhagic stroke to see if a healthful
plant-based diet is linked to a lower risk of stroke. Participants
included 73,890 women from the Nurses' Health Study (NHS; 1984–2016),
92,352 women from NHSII (1991–2017), and 43,266 men from the Health
Professionals Follow-Up Study (1986–2012) who were free of
cardiovascular disease and cancer at baseline. Six thousand two hundred
forty-one total stroke cases (including 3,015 ischemic and 853
hemorrhagic strokes) were documented during the follow-up. Despite the
small number of cases, no link was found between a vegetarian diet and
total stroke. Those who followed a healthful plant-based diet had a
lower risk of total stroke.
Notice that this research didn't find a vegetarian diet and plant-based diet the same. You'll have to ask your doctor to find out those definitions. I could argue that carnivores are eating herbivores and thus going back to the source of the original food, carnivores are just once removed from being vegetarians.

Among adults without CVD or cancer at baseline, those who ate
healthful plant-based diets had an approximately 10% reduced risk for
stroke, researchers reported.

“Many individuals have been increasing the amount of plant-based components in their diet,” Kathryn M. Rexrode, MD, MPH,
chief of the division of women’s health at Brigham and Women's Hospital
and associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, said in a
press release. “These results show that higher intake of healthy
plant-based foods may help reduce long-term stroke risk, and that it is
still important to pay attention to diet quality of plant-based diets.”
Among adults without CVD or cancer at baseline, those who ate
healthful plant-based diets had an approximately 10% reduced risk for
stroke. Data were derived from Baden MY, et al. Neurology. 2021;doi:10.1212/WNL.0000000000011713.
The researchers analyzed 73,890 women in the Nurses’ Health Study,
92,352 women in the Nurses’ Health Study II and 43,266 men in the Health
Professionals Follow-Up Study without CVD and cancer.
Each participant was categorized based on their overall plant-based diet quality index, their healthful plant-based diet
quality index and their unhealthful plant-based diet quality index.
Healthy plant-based diets included foods such as leafy greens, whole
grains and beans, whereas unhealthy plant-based diets included foods
such as refined grains, potatoes and added sugars. Mean follow-up was
approximately 25 years.
During the study period, there were 6,241 cases of stroke, including 3,015 ischemic strokes, the researchers reported.
In a pooled analysis, participants in the highest quintile of
plant-based diet index scores had a lower stroke rate (HR = 0.94; 95%
CI, 0.86-1.03) compared with those in the lowest quintile.
Participants with the highest healthful plant-based diet index scores
had reduced risk for stroke (HR = 0.9; 95% CI, 0.83-0.98), whereas
those with the highest unhealthful plant-based diet index scores had a
slightly elevated risk for stroke (HR = 1.05; 95% CI, 0.96-1.15),
according to the researchers.
Participants with the highest healthful plant-based diet
index scores had reduced risk for ischemic stroke (HR = 0.92; 95% CI,
0.82-1.04), but there was no association between plant-based diet index
and hemorrhagic stroke, the researchers wrote.
There was no difference between vegetarians and nonvegetarians in stroke risk, the researchers found.
Compared with those in the lowest quintile of plant-based diet index,
those in the highest quintile had lower BMI, engaged in more physical
activity, smoked less, had greater intake of healthy plant foods and
less healthy plant foods and had lower intake of animal foods, according
to the researchers.
“Our findings have important public health implications, suggesting
that future nutrition policies to lower stroke risk should take the
quality of food into consideration,” Megu Y. Baden, MD, PhD, postdoctoral fellow in the department of nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, said in the release.
I agree wholeheartedly. But I have a totally different view of plants. Grapes are a wonderful plant when processed into wine, Barley, hops, other grains, yeast turn into the benefits of beer. But never listen to me, not medically trained. I know nuthin.
Moderate consumption of wine is linked to higher performance on cognitive tests, research has found.
One or two glasses of wine can make the drinker look more attractive to others, a new study finds.
Three or four glasses, though, does not make a person look more attractive than when they are sober.
This is different to the ‘beer goggles’ effect, which is well known: that alcohol makes other people look more attractive.
