THE ROLE OF NUTRITION IN STROKE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT

Abstract

Resume. Important factors for reducing the risk of stroke, as well as predictors of effective rehabilitation of this group of patients are proper nutrition, regular physical activity, smoking cessation and normalization of body weight. Currently, there is no unambiguous data on the needs of patients who have suffered acute cerebral circulatory disorders for nutrients, which dictates the need to develop a personalized diet for them, which should be calculated taking into account age, gender and body mass index. The intake of energy, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins can be carried out not only as part of traditional, but also from specialized food products, including mixtures for etheral nutrition. The use of mixtures helps to reduce the risk of bedsores.
