I’m so sorry to hear about your stroke. I’m glad you’re finding the exercises helpful ❤️ are you able to talk with a counselor or mental health therapist about your struggle?

@@PostStrokeOrg I had a stroke in the right thalamus. Every day I do 10,000 steps, your seven exercises, some stretching exercises, as well as weight exercises (2x3kg dumbbells). I have to travel periodically and then I can't do these exercises for one or two days, but then I notice that I feel quite bad without them. I have hardly any physical limitations, just the feeling of ants constantly crawling over my left extremities is very unbearable. I am a mathematician and write books, my main problem is that since the stroke I have had difficulty concentrating, which greatly hinders me. I have also become very sensitive to weather, which I wasn't before. Some days I feel almost good, but on other days it's pretty bad again. Of course, it may also be due to my age, I am 80 years old and my resilience is slowly diminishing. My dear wife is Italian and she cooks Mediterranean cuisine, so my diet should be okay... Your exercises help me a lot, but also the moral support you provide in some videos gives me hope. Anyway, thank you for your contributions, they help me a lot.

Thanks for that information

Me too, i am afraid to eat anything from 70kg down to 50kg since 2019 up to now

Apparently vegetable oil causes inflation, olive doesn't.

This is a common misconception. Those long chains are slower to break down, so they release simple sugar into the bloodstream slowly and steadily. So starches are actually a great form of slow-release energy. Eating simple sugar without fiber, such as table sugar, is released quickly, all at once in the blood stream, which is harder on the body. Eating starches is a great way to get in ample carbohydrate but in a slow-release form. We need to eat both complex carbs and simple carbs throughout the day. This information is available in standard college nutrition 101 curriculum, so it's well established information from reliable sources from many decades of nutrition research (unlike fly-by-night diets that promote this myth.)

@@plant495 How do you explain that white bread had a higher glycaemic index than sucrose? How do you explain the fact that people can survive quite readily on a pure carnivore diet which contains co carbohydrate? Or that it's possible for a person on a keto diet to run five marathons in five days while fasting? Perhaps your standard college nutrition curriculum is out of date.

@@eclecticcyclist I can't, because I don't believe either of those.

@mrstevek118 Always important to follow your doctor's advice as everyone has different medical situations. Thanks for sharing ❤️

The missing something is the high levels of stress that most of us have in our lives. I believe, and there are studies I'm sure, that would support this, that stress is one of the biggest causes of stroke. My boyfriend follows a vegan diet, hardly any salt, or sugar, and is thin as a rail. He already takes medicine for high blood pressure and takes blood thinner due to having an artificial valve for the last 20 years or so. His blood is checked every 2 weeks for this. He has had more stress in his life over the last 9 months or so. He had an especially high amount for about a week, then proceeded to have a stroke. My dad on the other hand, was obese, ate terrible with tons of sugar, salt and fat inhis diet, plus he smoked a lot every day since a teenager, and he never had a stroke or heart attack. He died from falling, breaking a hip and then aspirating from pneumonia in the nursing home he was in. He was 85. My boyfriend is 64. The difference between them? My dad never stressed out about things or thought about other people. My boyfriend has high anxiety and stresses out about everything. I do too, and am worried about my own health because of it.

No no no, you are a stroke survivor just like the rest of us. And may our God usheryou into becoming an oveecomer too. The devil tried to take you out and couldn't so he's been trying to wear you/us down ever since that event and because you're here and finding this wonderful information we are not going to let him whin. Bless you and everyone that reads this message.

lol oh no😜

I kind of doing the same, I currently start the day with one crushed, chopped garlic clove in the juice of half a lemon with 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, all added to a glass of water, i now crave it in the morning. Tthen I'll eat sausage, bacon and scrambled egg with black coffee. That keeps me going until about 4pm, I'll eat a few mixed nuts in their natural state, maybe some kifir yogurt with ground flax seed and Chia seed, or a drink of full fat milk, or eat some French soft cheese or 85% dark chocolate for snacking on. I drink various herbal teas throught the day, real herbs not the supermarket herbal tea bag type. Evening meal I usually have mixed leaf salad, with cucumber, tomatoes, onion, homemade sauerkraut, beetroot, fresh thyme, fresh cut rosemary, parsley, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar, I'll have that with salmon, or mackerel or a nice fatty steak, chicken, or lamb, or organ meat. That's my daily diet every single day. I approach food as medicine, it has to get me as far away from a secondary stroke as possible, I don't know if it's the right diet but so far so good. The only salt I touch is the celtic sea salt type, mineral salt, I won't touch table salt. Cutting out the carbs and sugar and ready made foods is definitely helping. I would like to go full on carnivor but I'm leaning toward the Mediterranean diet as I'm still very cautious about it all at the moment. It's very difficult to try get enough natural protein, fat, essential minerals, vitamins and nutrients everyday without worrying about blood clots and high blood pressure, diet and nutrition seems to be minefield of contradictory information. Well there's a load of words you never asked for lol. Good luck

Real food has bioavailable nutrients whereas processed foods contain synthetic non-bioavailable nutrients (lab created synthetic copies of real nutrients). Synthetic chemicals cause physical damage. Salt contains more than just sodium. It also has magnesium and potassium. Processed foods have an abundance of sugar.

Thank you SO much!! ☺️❤️

That’s awesome! Great job

Of course!

I'm a Stroke Survivor as well happened 6 years ago but I really don't add salt to my foods besides what is used for cooking also not a sugar fanatic either here I'll eat oatmeal glazed cookies or cookies and cream ice cream that's it. Also cut back 98% of alcohol before I'd drink over an 18 pack a day plus drug use till I had my stroke but now no drug use of course and I drink 2 beers maybe every week max so I've calmed down plus I eat veggies and have some superb salads with all the food groups in them. But the main thing is I'm alive and I have a positive mindset on Life! Thanks be to God 🙏🏻
