Synopsis

Proper nutrition is our greatest ally in the war against stroke -- the third most frequent cause of death in industrialized countries. That's why The Deutsche Schlaganfallstiftung (German Institution for Prevention of Stroke) and the Nestl Research Center have joined forces to discuss nutrition and its relation to efficacy of treatment. Every aspect of both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke is covered in exceptional detail, including the theory that certain diets rich in n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid could increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke. The role of antioxidants and the most current research available on the subject is also discussed. This comprehensive reference should help to promote research, new palliative therapeutic measures, and possible preventive nutritional strategies.
