HEALTH HAZARDS : Insufficient intake of fiber-rich foods & stiffening of arteries & stroke

Insufficient intake of fiber-rich foods may lead to the stiffening of our arteries associated with risk of having a stroke. Therefore, a high dietary fiber intake may be beneficial for stroke prevention. Watch the video “How to Prevent a Stroke” at https://bit.ly/2C6odia to learn more.

As Dr. Greger discussed in the video “Vegetarians and Stroke Risk Factors—Vegan Junk Food?,” eating vegan or vegetarian doesn’t mean you’re eating healthfully. It’s important to eat a variety of high fiber, whole plant foods for disease prevention. (See https://bit.ly/33S1H9H.)

The Daily Dozen can be a tool to get you started on eating a higher-fiber diet, as it’s packed with wholesome plant-based foods—specifically, legumes, whole grains, fruits, veggies, nuts, and seeds.

While a plant-based diet may be beneficial for preventing a number of chronic diseases, the cardiovascular benefits of plant-based diets may be severely undermined by vitamin B12 deficiency. (See https://bit.ly/2HvpHD6.) And, a regular, reliable source of B12 for those eating a plant-based diet may be beneficial for stroke prevention. (See https://bit.ly/3gyVrIh.)
