Can Fasting Prevent Strokes and Aid Stroke Recovery?

Fasting is linked to many health benefits, including reducing the risk of strokes and helping tissues recover after a stroke.⁣
⁣
In a recent study, participants who adhered to a fasting practice were able to clear triglycerides from their blood more quickly than the control group. The fasting group’s systolic blood pressure reduced by 9% compared to just 2% in the daily diet group. Lowering systolic blood pressure reduces pressure on arteries, which may reduce the likelihood of heart attacks and strokes. This study also states that fasting may “precondition” the body to be able to prevent stroke by imposing small, harmless “insults” on the brain that create a tolerance to ischemia—an inadequate blood supply to an organ.⁣

Finally, in addition to reducing risks of stroke, research finds that forms of caloric restriction may help support neurogenesis, the creation of new neurons and neuronal connections, after a stroke.⁣
