The tastiest way to prevent a stroke? Go Mediterranean. When it comes to food, the Mediterranean diet may reduce stroke risk. Work the diet’s key components into your meal planning by:
- Eating lots of plant-based foods such as fruits, and vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts
- Replacing butter with olive oil
- Using herbs and spices for flavor in place of salt
- Limiting your red meat intake
- Eating fish and poultry at least twice a week
