From the American Academy of Neurology . “People with diets higher in protein, especially from fish, may be less likely to have a stroke than those with diets lower in protein, according to a meta-analysis published in the June 11, 2014, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.” The amount of protein that led to the reduced risk was moderate -- equal to 20 grams per day, said study author Xinfeng Liu, MD, PhD, of Nanjing University School of Medicine in Nanjing, China.” “Protein has the effect of lowering blood pressure, which may play a role in reducing stroke risk, Liu said” “Seven studies with a total of 254,489 participants who were followed for an average of 14 years were included in the analysis.” “Overall, the participants with the highest amount of protein in their diets were 20 percent less likely to develop a stroke than those with the lowest amount of protein in their diets.” sciencedaily/releases/2014/06/140611170750.htm
