7 tips that significantly reduce stroke risk factors
Herbalists and phytotherapists believe that regular consumption of some types of tea can significantly reduce (and even completely eliminate) the risk factors of stroke. The positive effect of medicinal plants is officially recognized. The action of the plants is effective until the side effects and dependence on the plants have not been identified.
A healthy life is the prevention of stroke. It is recommended to refrain from alcohol and smoking. Obesity also has a bad effect on the condition of blood vessels. Sedentary lifestyle along with hypoxia (reduced amount of oxygen in the cells) also disrupts normal blood flow and oxygen supply to the brain. Mild to moderate and regular physical activity (walking in the fresh air with correction of risk factors) is necessary for the prevention of stroke.
Plants are an effective prevention for maintaining health and preventing the development of diseases if a person has a predisposition to stroke and vascular diseases.

6. Correction of nutrition is desirable – the amount of animal fat in the diet should be significantly reduced, salty, fried, smoked food and meat products should be completely eliminated. You should increase the amount of unsaturated fats (in healthy oils, nuts, seeds, sea fish and seafood). The recommendation is to reduce the total caloric content in the diet, use whole-grain cereals, increase the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, and limit the intake of alcohol. People with high blood pressure and overweight people should limit their salt intake. Herbs and spices can completely eliminate the use of salt in the diet.
7. The Mediterranean diet is very important in the prevention of stroke – it includes the use of a large number of herbs that are a perfect substitute for salt. You can use fresh herbs that you will chop into the dish before use, or dried that you will use in spice mixes. For vegetable soups and stews, it is especially good to use fennel seeds, oregano, coriander, thyme, dill, basil, cumin, cloves, black pepper, ginger, turmeric and nutmeg. Herbs will help normalize blood pressure, maintain the health of blood vessels and eliminate the appearance of blood clots.
