Food Choices after Stroke Study - Update!

Hi, I would be interested in participating in this study. 

I do not have difficulty eating, and I don't believe my diet has changed much, so I am not sure if I would be eligible.

Physically I have recovered from my stroke, my ongoing issues are cognitive, and increasingly, I think, age related. I had my stroke nearly 20 years ago and am approaching 60.

Kind Regards,

Leanne.

Hi Leanne,

Thanks for your interest in our study!

Our study is open to anyone in Australia who has had a stroke and is living at home (i.e. not in a rehab facility).

You definitely fit the bill! We are measuring the current diet of all stroke survivors. Your information and experiences would absolutely add to our study.

If you would like to participate, here is the link to find out more.

Thank you to everyone who has completed our survey so far - first results are showing us that fatigue can play a huge part in how you can plan and cook your meals. Some people have told us that on some days food is just too hard! 

This is really important for researchers to understand - we need to find ways that make food easier for you when you just don't have the energy. 

If you have any tips please feel free to add them here and the survey is still open if you would like to add your experiences to this research.

We would love to hear what you have to say.

I'll say a little too, maybe it will help the researchers. I had some thoughts after watching your video https://youtu.be/BeuuqkHnR8k
I began to notice that my body is full of energy after I added a vitamin-mineral complex to my diet: vitamins B, C, D, calcium, magnesium.
This is what I drink separately. But I also take a coplex tablet, which contains 80% of the daily dose of all the necessary elements. I supplement the rest with food: cereals, potatoes, meat, fish, eggs. I don't eat much fruit or vegetables, because they give me too much gas :)
