After having a stroke, diet is an important part of recovering and preventing another one. Eating healthy foods can help manage risk factors for stroke such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and diabetes. Along with knowing the proper foods to eat and avoid, it can be helpful to learn how to read food labels, meal prep, and consult with a dietician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foods to Avoid<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Processed foods<\/strong> \u2013 processed foods have lots of fats, starches, sugars and hydrogenated oils, and raise your cholesterol, your blood pressure and your stroke risk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This includes foods like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Processed meats like hot dogs, salami, pepperoni and bologna.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Refined carbs like white breads, crackers, salty snack foods and baked goods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Sugary foods and drinks, such as desserts, candy and soda. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Fried foods, such as mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, popcorn shrimp, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Fast foods and convenience foods, like canned soup, frozen dinners.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Food high in salt<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Eating too much sodium can cause you to retain fluids, which increases your blood pressure and is a risk factor for stroke. A low-sodium diet is one with less than 2,400 milligrams of sodium a day, but the average American consumes about twice as much sodium as they should. Processed foods are also high in sodium, which is used as a preservative. There are also lots of hidden forms of salt in things like salad dressings, soy sauce, and seasonings. An alternative can be to try other herbs and salt free spices to your food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
