A new Chinese study has claimed that just 200 grams of fruit consumed every day can reduce the risk of heart attack by 32 percent. The risk cuts down by 11 percent for every 200 grams of vegetables consumed daily.
There are over 150,000 people in UK that suffer a stroke every year. And just a little diet change with addition of two and a half portions of fruits and vegetables can reduce the number significantly.
After suffering from a stroke, 1/3 of the patients recover with a month but there are still those 2/3 patients that take way longer and keep suffering.
The Stroke Association states that the easiest way to diagnose a stroke is by carrying out the FAST Test - Facial weakness, Arm weakness, Speech problems and Time to call 999 emergency.
Senior author of the study Yan Qu, director of the intensive care unit at Qingdao Municipal Hospital in China stated that the study took into account 20 other studies published over 19 years that followed the effect of fruits and vegetables on the risk of stroke .
