Whole Food Plant-Based Nutrition (Rough Draft)

(It took forever to write down! Aphasia (see definition below), caused by my stroke, screwed up my writing skill. I’m working on it! Stroke – I hate you!!! Arrgghh!!!)

//—- Rough Draft —-//
I never knew. Tech was it. I had an Startup Accelerator, CEO and I lived in Seoul, Korea (formerly the USA), every once in a while a Silicon Valley, New York and a travel worldwide. I was living it up. I had the entrepreneur/startup/VCs vibe and didn’t care about anything “health” related. I avoided health. It didn’t interest me. What to do about health? I was (ex)athletic and (ex)health …what could go wrong?

Maan, was I wrong.

I suffered a stroke. Really bad.

Doctors were given me an 80% chance of death. Death!!

High-blood pressure. That was it. I spent 2 weeks knocked out (I had tubes stuck in my head), 3 months in recovering in a hospital (it is baaaadd). And I still had going on after the hospital. Physical therapy, working out, and Broca’s aphasia…to this day (improvements, but still slow). I don’t know whether the stroke is a 2-3 years, 5 years, 10 years…I just don’t know. But I will keep it to 2-3 years and see how hard it is goes. (Aside: Aphasia started in stroke. I can’t stand it. It’s the worst. I can think alright, but conservation is bad. I would consider my verbal skills 15% of normal and Korean 1% of normal. I can say 3 words during the hospital – my name, Steve (random) and F#CK! So this is good, I’m definitely making progress, but slowly…..slooowwwlyy. AARRGGHH!!!!)

I’m still showing improvement in my stroke (my right side – right arm, right leg, numbness), it will be a long process. Externally, I switched it: 85% health (research/physical therapy/working out), 10% work, 5% whatever, where I normally work (85%) and play (10%) and whatever (5%).

Frustration is the enemy. Patience is the key. Two to three (2-3) years I can be back to normal… somewhat normal. One day at a time! Fiigghttinngg!!! (It’s a Korean expression)

I still don’t know what happened. I was doing exercise, and….and … what happened? I was formerly athletic and doing what to can to get back to that state again.

(Look! See? I was fit! NCAA Swimmer. Yes, that was actually me.)

So, I went into research and data mode. I just couldn’t figure it out. I’ve got to get better! No matter what. It is my mission… until I die or die trying.

Then it hit me…

It is the food!

Nothing else, but the food. Why did I not think about it sooner! (I guess no talking about “food” was my major area. heh.)

Whole plant-based foods. (Except when you are going out: plant-based foods is fine.)

I completely changed my diet because of my stroke.

– Health. I had a REALLY bad stroke. I want to beat this game. I want to be as healthy as possible in order to beat my stroke. Stroke (and it caused my aphasia) is super hard. For me, I want go at it as a hard as I can. That why I became whole plant-based nutrition. That was it.

– I do it for my Mom (pancreatic cancer). She passed away right after I had stroke. I do it for her.  And it’s not too late for me and if I take advantage of what I have now learned, then perhaps families will be able to stay around a little longer (I’m looking at you Dad!).

– Science-based and real hard data. Asian and Western, I don’t care. Give me the facts. No hard evidence, no go. Got it? Good.

– Animal agriculture is bonus. ‎I was always nature and nature nut, environment was key. I am for it. I’ll live in nature. I am the oceanographer (it what originally study in college). Auboden member. I am avid birding. It all made sense.

I’ve been going 1.5 years ever since my stroke… until I die.
…which is why I learned cooking. 😜😉

Current Schedule

I’ve been doing 85% health (research and data/workout/physical therapy), 10% work, and 5% whatever. Formerly, I did 80% work, 10% play, and 10% whatever.

Flipped it on its head.

It’s the best research can find. I’m speaking about Asian research and alternative medicine and Western research. I didn’t pay attention to much media from US and Korea. I was in a bubble. I didn’t take the normal route.

Diet is the main cause of the stroke.

You can find better? I want to know!

In honor of my Mom is no contest. Food is it.

And family? Food. That is the long and short of it. No one in the family had a doctors or nobody around me, that was a shocker/surprise for me.

Repeat: You can find better? I want to know!

I still love steak, bacon, chicken, fish, dairy, oil.. and Korea was particularly hard. Science and nutrition won out. A whole bunch of health stuff, research papers and reports (some dating back some years and some recently), people, youtube, etc…  everything ties back to that health concerns. Let me find better. Please!

I stopped immediately (well, close to it.) But as of the right now, this is it: Whole plant-based diet. Remember I am science-based, so base it on science.

Whether it is a good and bad and I didn’t care. It was an experiment (so would I tell myself so many times). Broccoli, flaxseeds, blueberries, black beans, walnuts, sweet potatoes… do it up! (Hence, the need for plant-based cooking class. Ha!)

Number one thing use your health:

The whole plant-based food/nutrition. The only diet that real works – totalistically and completely – across different age group, across different society, for the most number of years is a eating on the whole plant-based food.

Period.

– Dr. T. Colin Campbell, PhD

I switched because of stroke and because of Mom. I had a stroke and she died of cancer… why? No one knows “why”, but I know NOW: it was a plant-based diet. It got to be.

Even since I got a stroke:

  • I’m Asian and Western science-based. If you know something, show me!
  • Nobody is a doctor (in our family) or nobody around me.
  • I don’t listen to any news, TV or media.
  • I listened to reports, research, and Dr X (“X” means Dr. Plant-based diet. Go to the end of the page.)
  • I don’t take any medicine. Really.
  • And you can get anything food based. I get variety, a multiple, delicious foods.
    (Daily Dozen. It is App. It is FREE and Dr. Michael Greger fully supports this: Daily Dozen App )
  • I feel great!
  • Since the stroke, 1.5 years in… and there is no turn back now.

I’ll say it again: Whole plant-based nutrition/diet.

Why didn’t I know before I had the stroke! Arrggh!!

Health now

I don’t eat:
– meat
– chicken
– fish/seafood (tuna, swordfish, shrimp, etc)
– dairy (cheese, milk, yogurt, etc)
– eggs
– oil (breaks down the walls with your blood vessel and high calories.)
(Normally, I ate it all. Yup, even last corner of it.)

Whole plant-based foods are the way to go (healthwise) AND environment and animal agriculture – there was no beaten it.

97% cure of disease. Cure of disease!!!!! (I never knew!)
How many hours in can doctor get in medical training? 0 (Zero)

I am smarter than your doctor. When it comes to nutrition and health, yes I am. Simply put, medical doctors study medicine: diseases, medication, surgery and medical care – NOT NUTRITION, and are not qualified to give nutrition advice!

I been doing non-stop regardless what to tastes like (experiment). Some mouth-watering good and some really bad… I just didn’t care. Nutrition was the first key. I don’t care about anyone else.

President of the American of College of Cardiology (he is a vegan): “I don’t mind dying,” he says “I just don’t want it to be my fault.”

I completely changed my diet because of my stroke.

– Health. I had a REALLY bad stroke (high-blood pressure).

I want to beat this game. I want to be as healthy as possible in order to beat my stroke. Stroke (and it caused my aphasia) is super hard. For me, I want go at it as a hard as I can. That’s why I became whole plant-based nutrition. It was the best I’ve had (and nevertheless, I feel great!) That was it.

– I do it for my Mom (pancreatic cancer). She passed away right after I had stroke. I do it for her. And it’s not too late for me and if I take advantage of what I have now learned, then perhaps families will be able to stay around a little longer. (I’m looking at you Dad!)

– Science-based and real hard data. Asian and Western, I don’t care. Give me the facts. No hard evidence, no go. Got it? Good.

Now have an in abundance irrefutable scientific data in the literal confirmation that whole food plant based diet ideal for optimal health

– Animal agriculture is bonus. ‎I was always animals and nature nut, environment was key. It all made sense.

I’ve been going 1.5 years ever since my stroke… until I die.
…which is why I learned cooking. 😜😉

 

I have re-learn English and Korea. And I have re-learn written and spelling.
I have to relearn it all.

 

In fact, Mom is going to be reason for my talk.
TED talk aphasia and stroke and physical therapy and innovation.

get out the way, re-injuring our self, and the naturals (lets the bodies) healing properties bring us back to the health we were original feeling

The US rank declined between 1990 and 2010 to 27th or 28th of the 34 OECD countries. S. Korea and Slovenia have mortality rate than those in the US. Most death is the US are preventable and related to nutrition. (The State of US Health 1990-2010, Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors.)

Whole grains, vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, seaweed and plant-based diet as the most healthy one.

Plant-based diet are the nutritional equivalent of quitting smoking.
-World Health Organization

Whole grains, vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, seaweed and plant-based diet as the most healthy one.

Approximately 70% of deaths the Western world are due to chronic disease that are essentially induced by the lifestyle “norm” of our culture. An estimated 90% of Type 2 diabetes, 80-90% of heart disease and 50-70% of cancer are considered entirely preventable.

Whole grains, vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, seaweed and plant-based diet as the most healthy one.

1. Mom . It honor of her. she died from pancreatic cancer.
no one is my family is health related… no one! (cousin, aunts, parents, uncles, sister…no one!)
2. I can’t stand it. (Aphasia and stroke) .. health is so important. I don’t know health!
3. maximum food output.
4. ‎Whole plant-based food? Plant-based food? I you’re are plant?
5. ‎research
6. ‎social gathering?
7. ‎korea – ?
8. ‎heme?
9. I want to kids

Whole Plant-based foods

I did a lot of research… and research …and research (still doing it). I don’t pay attention to media. I was alone (yes, people were there, but people were not there in term of research and basic questions.)

Im tech guy, not a doctor. Stroke is really the set up. I switched.
I changed. Flipped on its head.

Health was it.

I didn’t “media up”. I am research. YouTube and research papers were it. I completely came across it by accident. Media, i mean.

And I didn’t come across through Korean. I was barely speaking English (thinking was fine. Speaking was a problem) I was jumble in the head.
