right food for stroke patients!

The right food will help a stroke patient get stronger and feel better. Because a stroke may cause loss of hand function, altered tastes, and loss of control of the mouth and throat, choosing food for complete nutrient is essential.

  • Enhance the flavor of meat, chicken or fish by maintaining or cooking them in fruit juices, wines, dressing or sweet and sour sauce
  • Use strong seasonings like oregano, rosemary, basil, pepper
  • Give tangy foods such as oranges, lemons, or lemonade
  • Add garlic or onion to vegetables
  • Ensure that foods are soft and tender
  • Cut foods into small pieces or process puree texture
  • Mix food with sauces

Meal replacements may also be given to patients whose mouths and throats do not function well.
