Hi all
Does anyone have any tips on maintaining a balanced diet? I saw on another post that someone uses the app 'My Fitness Pal' to keep on track of her diet and calorie intake.
Keeping a healthy and regulated diet is important in decreasing your risk of stroke. You can read more about this in our Diet section in 'Advice and Information' - https://mystrokeguide.com/advice-and-information/physical/diet/apps
Hope this helps!

I'd advise lean towards a m Mediterranean style diet as much as you can. it's often reported many many health benefits.
it's a diet high in fruit/veg. wholemeal bread grains cereals.
oily fish. try to avoid red meats, processed foods where you can.
go for good days high in omega 3s, fish, nuts, eggs. olive oil. etc.nnt
a glass of red wine with it in the evening is fine too.
it's good for maintaining a healthy body weight.
it's renowned for being good for making quite a few nasty diseases less likely. including stroke repeats.
I'd advise you look it up try it.
I swear by it, I'm 5 years on, a stroke survivor now.
add some excercise to your lifestyle with it too.
