Do not die from a stroke.

Fiber has been proven to moderate cholesterol and blood sugar levels, thereby decreasing the amount of artery-clogging plaque in your brain’s blood vessels. This will reduce your risk of having a stroke or developing Alzheimer’s disease.

Potassium can also prevent strokes: research shows that by increasing your daily potassium intake by 1,640 mg, you can reduce your risk of having a stroke by 21%!

Citrus will help moderate your blood flow. Research shows that just two cups of orange juice can improve your blood flow and reduce your chance of developing a stroke.

Antioxidants can slow down, and even reverse, your body’s aging process. This will help reduce your chances of developing age-related diseases, especially strokes!
