Dietary Strategies for Cerebrovascular Health: Prevention, Treatment, and Risk Factors

Dear Colleagues,

Cerebrovascular diseases, including ischemic as well as hemorrhagic strokes and vascular cognitive impairment, are leading global causes of mortality and disability. With increasing life expectancy, the burden on individuals and healthcare systems is set to grow. Emerging research highlights the critical role of nutrition in cerebrovascular health. Diet, an easily modifiable risk factor, offers promise for prevention and treatment. From nutritional supplements to altering food quantity, composition, and timing, dietary interventions hold potential in managing cerebrovascular, neurological, and neurodegenerative diseases. Time-restricted eating and intermittent fasting have garnered recent interest for their potential to alleviate cerebrovascular disorders by reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and enhancing neuroprotection; however, rigorous experimental, epidemiological, and clinical studies are needed to establish their effectiveness and mechanisms. We invite original research articles and reviews to advance our understanding of dietary strategies for cerebrovascular health. Contribute to this vital conversation and help shape the future of cerebrovascular disease management.
