Stroke is one of the most prevalent cardiovascular diseases worldwide, both in high-income countries and in medium and low-medium income countries. The WHO report on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) indicates that the highest behavioral risk in NCDs is attributable to incorrect nutrition. The objective of our work is to present an overview of meta-analyses that have investigated the impact of different foods and / or drinks in relationship with the risk of stroke events (ischemic/ hemorrhagic). The papers to be included in the overview were sought in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, Clinicaltrials.gov, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library and were selected according to PRIMA flow chart. Quality assessment were made according to AMSTAR scale. This overview shows that all primary studies came from countries with high income level. This evidence shows that many countries are not represented. Therefore, different lifestyles, ethnic groups, potentially harmful or virtuous eating habits are not reported. It is important to underline how the choose of foods may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and stroke in particular.

“…Exercise and remaining active, as well as social interaction, have also been shown to link to better cognition and overall mood in older age, as well as to cardiorespiratory fitness (100,101) . Bvitamins and folate have been shown to directly impact vascular health, particularly in relation to stroke (54,55) . Levels of immunity in older age have been shown to be directly influenced by nutritional status, particularly micronutrients (59)(60)(61)(62) .…”

“…The B-vitamins, particularly folate, may also play a role in vascular health, with a number of large supplementation trials finding that folate-based interventions can significantly reduce the risk of stroke but not coronary heart disease (54,55) . Nutrition has been shown to have a direct impact on the age-related decline of the immune system (immunosenescence) (53,56) .…”

“…By these mechanisms, folic acid may protect or improve endothelial function, thereby preventing or reversing the progression of cardiovascular disorders in patients with overt disease or at elevated risk. These findings encouraged a number of clinical studies on folic acid supplementation to potentially reverse endothelial dysfunction in patients with cardiovascular pathologies, which are ongoing with positive outcomes [ 62 ].…”

The term of angiogenesis refers to the growth of new vessels from pre-existing capillaries. The phenomenon is necessary for physiological growth, repair and functioning of our organs. When occurring in a not regulated manner, it concurs to pathological conditions as tumors, eye diseases, chronic degenerative disorders. On the contrary insufficient neovascularization or endothelial disfunction accompanies ischemic and metabolic disorders. In both the cases an inflammatory and oxidative condition exists in supporting angiogenesis deregulation and endothelial dysfunction. The use of nutraceuticals with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities can be a therapeutic option to maintain an adequate vascularization and endothelial cell proper functioning or to blunt aberrant angiogenesis. A revision of the updated literature reports on nutraceuticals to guide endothelial cell wellness and to restore physiological tissue vascularization is the objective of this paper. The critical aspects as well as lacking data for human use will be explored from a pharmacological perspective.
