2. Sugar Too much sugar can damage blood vessels. Read labels and choose lower sugar options. Even foods you may not think of as sugary can have added sugar.
3. Saturated fats  cause high cholesterol. Eat mostly polyunsaturated and monounsaturated oils and spreads. Try nut butter or avocado.
4. Alcohol Drinking too much alcohol contributes to a number of stroke risk factors, including high blood pressure. Healthy men and women should have no more than two standard drinks a day. After a stroke, your doctor can advise when it is safe for you to start drinking alcohol again and how much it is safe for you to drink.
5. Limit your intake of saturated and Trans fat and cholesterol. Cholesterol is a fatty substance made by your body and found in foods of animal origin. Your body needs cholesterol to maintain the health of your body’s cells.
6. Trim the sodium in your diet. Eating too much sodium may cause you to retain fluids and increase your blood pressure. So the paralysis patients have to avoid sodium in their diet.
7. Choose foods high in fiber. Dietary fiber is the part of plants the body cannot digest. As it passes through your body it affects the way your body digests foods and absorbs nutrients so consume high fiber foods as much as possible.
