3.75 -> [Music]
7.839 -> stroke remains one of the most
9.44 -> devastating of all neurological diseases
12.719 -> killing about 5 million people a year
15.2 -> worldwide and is the leading cause of
17.039 -> permanent disability in the united
19.039 -> states
20 -> but the good news is that about 80
22.64 -> percent of stroke risk may be due to
24.64 -> basic lifestyle factors primarily
27.76 -> improving your diet stopping smoking and
30.8 -> getting regular exercise
32.88 -> the best way to stop smoking evidently
35.6 -> is to have a heart attack
38 -> if you die you automatically stop
40.16 -> smoking
41.28 -> unless you're incinerated i guess
44.96 -> and if you live
46.64 -> repeated strong advice from your doctor
49.36 -> may persuade up to two-thirds to quit
52 -> never smoke again in any form as long as
54.64 -> you live
55.92 -> yes it's very addictive yes it's very
58.399 -> difficult it doesn't matter it has to be
60.8 -> done
61.68 -> if you're walking along the lakeshore
63.039 -> one of your grandchildren is drowning
65.68 -> it's not a matter of willpower it just
67.84 -> has to be done it's like a healthy diet
71.04 -> some things just have to be done getting
73.92 -> up at night to feed a baby can be
75.439 -> difficult too but it's not a matter of
77.439 -> willpower
78.64 -> some things in life
80.159 -> just have to be done
82.88 -> for stroke prevention that means a more
86 -> plant-based diet like a traditional
88.08 -> mediterranean diet centered around whole
89.759 -> grains fruits vegetables lentils beans
91.68 -> and nuts a vegetarian or vegan diet may
94.24 -> also work but
95.52 -> must be accompanied by a regular
98.159 -> reliable source of vitamin b12 meaning
100.56 -> b12
101.6 -> fortified foods or supplements
104.32 -> unfortunately recommending taking b12
106.72 -> supplements may meet opposition among
108.88 -> vegetarians because misconceptions
111.04 -> regarding this nutrient are prevalent
113.68 -> many individuals still hold on to the
115.6 -> old myth that deficiency of this vitamin
117.6 -> is rare and only occurs in a small
119.68 -> proportion of vegans
121.36 -> future studies with vegetarians should
122.88 -> focus on identifying ways of convincing
125.04 -> vegetarians to routinely take vitamin
127.04 -> b12 supplements in order to prevent a
129.599 -> deficiency the research is clear on that
132.56 -> now we just need research on how we can
134.64 -> convince vegetarians to actually take
136.319 -> their b12 to prevent a deficiency
139.599 -> what is it about plant-based diets
142.08 -> previously i talked about the role of
143.599 -> fiber potentially about a one percent
145.76 -> drop in risk for every one gram of fiber
148 -> per day or maybe even a towed more 12
151.04 -> drop associated with every extra 10
153.12 -> grams a day
154.4 -> in fact fiber from like whole grains
156.16 -> associated with not only lower chance of
157.92 -> dying from heart attack and stroke but
160.16 -> also cancer and diabetes and respiratory
163.04 -> diseases and lower risk of dying even
164.959 -> from infections or other causes in other
167.68 -> words
168.48 -> lower risk of dying prematurely from all
170.48 -> causes put together
172.319 -> why
173.68 -> perhaps because the anti-inflammatory
175.76 -> effects of fiber which could explain how
178.08 -> it could help across the board or maybe
180.72 -> they're eating fewer pro-inflammatory
182.56 -> foods those who eat more whole plant
184.48 -> foods where fiber is found may be eating
186.64 -> less processed than animal foods
188.959 -> in fact the study immediately preceding
191.44 -> this one this meta-analysis of fiber was
193.76 -> a meta-analysis on meat
196.239 -> they looked at red meat and processed
198.159 -> meat found
199.28 -> but a 10 increased risk of stroke
201.2 -> associated with each three and a half
203.12 -> ounce daily portion so that's like about
205.44 -> the size of a deck of playing cards or
208.08 -> about 10 percent increased risk for
210.159 -> every half deck of processed meat
213.68 -> perhaps
214.72 -> it's because of the heme iron the blood
216.72 -> muscle iron in meat perhaps because of
219.36 -> its pro-oxidative properties whereas no
222.56 -> association was found between non-heme
224.56 -> iron and stroke the type of iron that
226.239 -> predominates in plants
228.48 -> or perhaps it's because of some of the
230.159 -> toxic pollutants like pcbs that can
232.159 -> build up in animal fats
234 -> we've known that like living next to a
235.84 -> toxic waste dump might increase stroke
238.48 -> risk but only recently have we realized
240.64 -> that dietary exposure even at so-called
242.879 -> safe levels may increase stroke risk
246.48 -> as much as eight or nine times the odds
249.28 -> of stroke for those with the highest
250.879 -> levels of these pollutants in their
252.56 -> bloodstream
259.01 -> [Music]
275.12 -> you
