Cardiologist Johnson: Soda and omega-6 deficiency increase stroke risk
Fizzy drinks and a diet low in omega-6 fatty acids increase the risk of stroke, warned Katherine Johnson, a cardiologist and cardiovascular expert at the University of Washington. Two deadly eating habits she named Daily Mail.
Johnson said that 88 percent of strokes are caused by 23 factors that can be successfully corrected. She cited the example that 14 percent of severe cerebral hemorrhages were caused by environmental pollution. About the same number were caused by smoking, the expert added.
Nutritional errors, according to the cardiologist, are another factor that can be corrected to reduce the risk of stroke. In particular, according to her, drinking soda and a deficiency of omega-6 fatty acids in the body increase the risk of an attack by five percent.
Johnson added that the most dangerous factors for stroke are considered to be high cholesterol, hypertension, excess body weight and a sedentary lifestyle.
