New here and Recuperating after a stroke

Hello. I am new to this site and also new to eating raw. After studying nutrition and following what I had studied, I had a massive stroke just days after buying some raw food books. The stroke happened on March 16 and I got out of the hospitals on June 2. Although I am not able to walk, yet, I started sprouting again and am looking forward to preparing really good and nutritious raw foods for my family.

I have been reading lots of great-sounding recipes that I can hardly wait to make. So, I am reallly glad to be here and learn more.

God Bless you and Welcome.

There are many good foods for artery health that I am sure you have learned about. One thing that I want to mention to you just in case you don't know: If you are on any blood thinners, be careful how many pumpkin seeds you eat. They are also very affective blood thinners and you wouldn't be wanting to thin your blood any more than the drugs your doctors prescribed for you.

If you want to get into a discussion about flax, omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, garlic, hawthorne etc. we can start a discussion on the main board - but you probably researched all this already.

Thank goodness you are getting started. It's never too late.

Welcome... I'm new here too. Have you been able to start making things like smoothies and salads to eat? It sounds like you are very motivated, which will most certainly aid you in your journey. I'm a strong proponent of believing you can accomplish the task in front of you!

Keep us posted on your progress!
