Healthy Eating and Stroke

 Did you know that what you eat can affect your chances of having a stroke?

 Eating your 5 a day and having plenty of fibre can reduce your stroke risk. But high-fat foods can raise your cholesterol and a lot of salt in your food can cause high blood pressure, the biggest risk factor for stroke.

Simply adjusting what you eat can reduce your risk of stroke, as well as lifting your mood and giving you more energy.
