The best anti-stroke diet is high in vegetables and fruits, including high-fiber produce, low in saturated and trans fat, and higher in plant-based unsaturated fats - such as olive oil, unsalted nuts and avocado - with enough calcium, potassium and omega-3 fatty acids and at a calorie level that helps maintain a healthy weight.

Did you know there is an easy way to tell if a person is having a stroke. If a person is having trouble and looks like they are in distress they could possible be having a stroke. Think of the first three letters in the word stroke

Smile - if they're having a stroke, they will have a crooked smile

Talk - If a person is having a stroke, they will not be able to speak or be mumbling and a little confused

Raise arms - a person that is having a stroke will be unable to raise one or both arms; usually half the body is paralyzed

The reason it is important to recognize a stroke when it happens is because if it is caught within the first two hours and you can get the person to the ER, there will be no damage to the brain.
