To reduce the risk of a second stroke, focus on a heart-healthy diet. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, fish, poultry, nuts, and seeds. Use olive oil for cooking and add fiber with fruits and whole grains. Include omega-3s from fish and nuts, and enjoy foods like berries, tea, and dark chocolate for extra benefits. These simple changes can support your recovery and help prevent future strokes.
