This is for weight loss. So not a long term meal plan.
Can I get your thoughts/input please?
Good evening. I wonder if I could ask for your thoughts please? I'm aiming to set up an online clinic focused on Stroke and Dementia Prevention. Unfortunately, this would be a private clinic separate from my NHS work. I've pulled together a report/proforma that I plan to use with clients to take the through their stroke and dementia risks as on the link below: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTp72Maeq1FEED1ok41CyxmxJ-AkWY4Mu4uZl44tuAy6Qk4AMwZiflMVI3iNNUut-1QO9tJBqe3eL9h/pub Please could I ask for your feedback and thoughts? What do you think I could add to this? Is it easy to read and understand? If you were going to such a clinic, with all you know now, what would you want from the clinic? Also, please feel free to use the form for yourself and your family to look at your own risk factors. Thanking you in advance.

@Nikhil Sharma this is me I am waiting for a TOE test to find out how big the hole is and the next steps needed if any. Prior to my stroke I was under significant stress and I wonder if the composition of my blood changed because of an increase of stress hormone which caused the clot to form. Honestly I havent got a clue.

Looks brilliant very informative, captures all known triggers. I wonder if as Andy says unknown causes, deeper exploration of bloods looking at stress hormone would be a good indicator of what caused a clot to form. Unknown in my eyes means we need to look further. A detailed analysis of blood composition could fit into the psychosocial component.
Stroke -Proof Weekly Challenge:Travel the World Without Leaving Home (Week 4)
Ready for a mini world tour for your brain? This week’s challenges are inspired by healthy habits from around the globe, no passport required, just 5–30 minutes a day. 🇯🇵 Japan: “Slow–Fast” Walking Ritual Challenge: Walk up to 30 minutes, 3–4× this week How to do it: - 3 minutes relaxed pace - 3 minutes brisk, purposeful pace (You can talk, but you couldn’t sing) - Repeat up to 5 times Start small if needed:New or rebuilding fitness? Begin with 10 minutes total (1–2 cycles) and build gradually. You can also walk indoors or march in place if needed. Why it matters: Interval walking lowers blood pressure, improves insulin sensitivity, and boosts fitness — even in older adults or those new to exercise. 🌍 Mediterranean: Olive Oil Boost Challenge: Add extra-virgin olive oil to one meal per day this week ✨ Simple ways to add more olive oil: 🥦 Drizzle over roasted veggies (broccoli, peppers, aubergine) 🍲 Add a swirl to lentil or tomato soup 🥗 Whisk your own dressing (olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, mustard or honey) 🍞 Swap butter for olive oil on warm toast 🍄 Use as a marinade base — great for salmon, mushrooms, or vegetables Start small if needed:Just one teaspoon per meal counts. No need to overhaul your diet, small swaps add up. Why it matters: Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, supporting blood vessels, cholesterol, and inflammation control. 🇩🇰 Denmark: Daily Calm Reset (Hygge-style) Hygge: a Danish approach to everyday coziness and calm, focusing on simple pleasures, comfort, and mindful relaxation. Challenge: Spend 5–10 minutes of calm daily How to do it: - Sit with tea or coffee - no phone - Gentle breathing (slow, comfortable breaths) - Light stretching - Quiet moment after dinner or before bed - Reading a book instead of scrolling - Enjoying the sound of rain indoors with a hot drink Start small if needed:Even 5 minutes counts. Can be done seated if mobility is limited. Consistency matters more than duration.

Japanese walking for me, i will give that a go. Tip - Ive switched from semi skimmed milk to skimmed milk and Almond milk to reduce saturated fat. Almond milk on cereal it should be fortified so you dont lose out on calcium. It has got less calories and use skimmed milk in tea and coffee. Easy change not noticed the difference.
