Introduction
Worldwide stroke is increasing in parallel with modernization, changes in lifestyle, and the growing elderly population.Individuals with a healthy, low-risk lifestyle (no smoking,daily exercise, moderate alcohol consumption and having a moderate weight during their mid-forties) had a significantly lower risk of neurodegenerative diseases than the high-risk lifestyle group. Therefore, the relatively high incidence of neurodegenerative diseases may be due in part to the negative influence of daily risk factors including (Donnan et al.,2008): stress, lack of physical exercise, unhealthy nutrition,obesity, high cholesterol levels
in plasma, smoking, alcoholism or arterial hypertension.
Some intrinsic factors such as ageing, but also brain injury and associated exaggerated neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, as well as lifestyle factors including high sugar diets and high fat diets, alcohol and tobacco addiction, negatively influence neurodegeneration. But there are many components in our diet (polyunsaturated fatty acids, the antioxidants
curcumin,
resveratrol,
blueberry
polyphenols,sulphoraphane and salvionic acid) as well as caloric restriction, along with physical exercise that may allow us to live a healthier and longer life (Poulose et al., 2017). Although the progress of neurodegenerative diseases is, to some extent,measurable through anthropometric, lifestyle, and clinical factors, the mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative disease progression are not fully understood. The current review focuses on the link between lifestyle and health in the context of genetic predisposition of individuals to ‘unhealthy'metabolic pathway activities by performing a systematic literature search of the last 10 years. Data were from PubMed and Google Scholar.
Mechanisms Linking Lifestyle and Diet-Induced Metabolic Inflammation to Cerebrovascular Diseases
