The anti-inflammatory properties of grapefruit help lower your stroke risk by keeping the arterial walls supple and free from LDL cholesterol buildup. Also, citrus fruits like grapefruit have high concentrations of flavonoids, which decrease the risk of an ischemic stroke, especially in women. Consuming grapefruit on a regular basis can help reduce the likelihood of both ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage.
