I am a 71-year-old stroke survivor.

When I was discharged from the hospital, and in subsequent appointments with my neurologist and cardiologist, no one mentioned that my diet might have played a role in my stroke and improving my diet could help prevent another one.

I understand there is now a diet specifically designed for people to prevent strokes called the MIND diet. Does it work? What does the research say? And if it does work, could you outline the program?
