🥗 Healthy eating after stroke does not have to be expensive or complicated.
A Mediterranean-style meal can be made using ingredients commonly found in our local markets here in the Philippines and Bukidnon—such as bangus, tilapia, monggo, malunggay, camote, adlai, vegetables, and calamansi. 💚
This meal guide offers practical lunch and dinner ideas that are:
✅ Low in salt
✅ Rich in vegetables and fiber
✅ Focused on fish, lean chicken, tofu, and legumes
✅ Supportive of heart and blood vessel health
✅ Easy to adapt using locally available ingredients
Small changes matter: choose fresh food, lessen patis, bagoong, broth cubes, processed meat, and commercial seasonings, and use calamansi, garlic, herbs, pepper, and tomatoes for added flavor.
Remember, there is no single “perfect” meal. The goal is consistency, balance, proper portions, regular movement, and taking your prescribed medications.
Please follow the dietary advice of your attending physician or registered nutritionist, especially if you have diabetes, kidney disease, high cholesterol, or other medical conditions.
💚 Save this guide, share it with your family, and let us make healthy eating more practical and enjoyable.
