High Fiber Diet Protects You From Stroke
If you eat more fiber you will probably have a lower risk of first time stroke, researchers from the University of Leeds' School of Food Science & Nutrition in Leeds, United Kingdom, reported in the journal Stroke. Dietary fiber comes from plants, the part that our body does not absorb when digesting food. Fiber can be insoluble or soluble (dissolves in water). No fiber can be digested. However, soluble fiber as it goes through the digestive tract, changes its form when it is fermented by bacteria. Soluble fiber absorbs water and becomes gelatinous as it does so...

As this is a randomised controlled trial, it should also balance out other health and lifestyle differences between the groups that may influence cardiovascular risk. This avoids the limitations of m...

Southern Diet Increases Risk Of Stroke

The finding was revealed at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2013. A southern diet includes foods such as fried chicken, fried potatoes, bacon, ham, fried fish and sugary drinks. The researchers aimed to find out whether southern cuisine might be linked to stroke risk. This was the first large-scale study of its kind to assess the association...
