Consumption of food rich in fiber highly reduces the chances of strokes in a person. An international study covering over 250,000 people reported that people who consume diets rich in magnesium such as beans and vegetables have a highly reduced rate of having strokes.
The authors of the research have stopped short of recommending a daily intake of diets that are rich in magnesium because they think that there is a possibility that some aspect of the food other than magnesium might be responsible for the findings.
Susanna Larsson, a professor at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm and the lead author of the report, concluded that people should eat foods which are rich in magnesium like nuts, whole grains, beans and leafy vegetables.
The research team has basically researched and considered the results of all the major surveys conducted in the past 45 years to get the mean figures of magnesium intake and stroke incidents. The main source of data is the combination of seven studies published in the last 14 years covering around 250,000 Americans with around 6,500 people having a stroke at the time they were followed.
The most common type of stroke is ischemic stroke which is typically caused by blood clot. According to the statistics, the risk of ischemic stroke falls by 9 percent for every hundred milligrams intake of magnesium per day.
Nutritionists have suggested in the past that one of the major reasons for health problems is a lack of fiber in the diets taken by a person. Introducing changes in the diet like addition of nutraceuticals, functional foods and supplements can reduce the risk and improve the health of a person.
Lack of intake of fiber rich diets and an excessive intake of modern fast food diets lead to an increased chance of obesity. Obesity is the main root of a number of very serious diseases of the heart and intestine. A high risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and diabetes arrive due to intake of modern fast food diets which are rich in fats.
The findings of the report made by Larsson and his colleagues are limited but according to nutritionists, the findings are very much consistent with the typical recommendations by the doctors. Dr. Larry Goldstein, director of stroke centre in Durham, North Carolina also said that the research is consistent with the view of the doctors and medical researchers.
You need to reconsider your eating habits if your daily diet intake has an excess of fats and a lack of fiber like magnesium. Changing your eating habits according to the findings of this survey will ensure you a more than healthy life style and a largely reduced risk of being affected by strokes.
The study has been published in the American journal of clinical nutrition and the International journal of Food Safety, Nutrition and Public health.
