Vitamin C may be secret to lowering risk of stroke
The researchers discovered that, on average, the people who had a stroke had sapped levels of vitamin C, while those who had not experienced a stroke had normal levels of vitamin C.
According to a news release from the American Academy of Neurology, consuming foods that contain vitamin C may lower your risk of the most common kind of hemorrhagic stroke.
Fruit and vegetables, like oranges, papayas, peppers, broccoli and strawberries, contain vitamin C. According to the American Stroke Association, hemorrhagic stroke accounts for approximately 13 percent of stroke cases. It results from a weakened vessel that ruptures and bleeds into the surrounding brain. The blood collects and compresses the surrounding brain tissue.
The research involved 65 people who had dealt with an intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke. They were examined in contrast to 65 healthy people who had not experienced an intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke. The levels of vitamin C in their blood were obtained. Forty-one percent of cases had normal levels of vitamin C, while 45 percent had sapped levels of vitamin C and 14 percent were considered lacking the vitamin.
The researchers discovered that, on average, the people who had a stroke had sapped levels of vitamin C, while those who had not experienced a stroke had normal levels of vitamin C.
“Our results show that vitamin C deficiency should be considered a risk factor for this severe type of stroke, as were high blood pressure, drinking alcohol and being overweight in our study,” noted study author Stéphane Vannier, MD, with Pontchaillou University Hospital in Rennes, France, in a statement. “More research is needed to explore specifically how vitamin C may help to reduce stroke risk. For example, the vitamin may regulate blood pressure.”
