Self-Help for Strokes

strokes are due to clots in the blood vessels of the brain and
head. Studies have shown that if we eat foods that help keep blood
vessels flexible and unclogged, then we can help prevent strokes. The

in potassium. Potassium helps keep artery walls elastic and
functioning normally.
