Some diet considerations for those recovering from a stroke and/or those who suffer from hypertension include reducing the amount of sodium in the diet, reducing the amount of sweets consumed, and limiting or eliminating alcohol consumption. More health food choices would include: whole grain foods, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and low-fat/fat-free dairy products.
