Hi @artywink, I had to get in on this because this comment made me so happy to read! I love hearing about people deciding to make healthy changes in their diets! How lovely that your daughter is acting as an inspiration to you! That's so sweet! I just had my father visit me for 3 months and tried my best to plant some seeds, I hope they root and that he takes on some changes as well! @lenasveganliving is an absolute inspiration and she is filled with the most delicious recipes around! If you want to see some more great vegan recipes, Lena and I are both part of #veganwednesday, if you use the tag you can find some wonderful recipes to try :) Best of luck to you- please let me know if there's anything I can do, this is my life's passion as a nutritionist and overall vegan-food-enthusiast ;)

Thank you so much @heart-to-heart . I suffer from high blood pressure and calestrol. I want to eat healthy now to best this desease , I believe the only way is the vegan root. I have even started growing my own veggies.I will definitely take part in Monda and Wednesday contests. I have started collecting vegan recipes now. Do you think the vegan root will help my blood pressure? I have started weening myself off my medication that I have been taking for the past 44 years. I also need to lose 20kgs . so . excersise and healthy eating. I am so grateful I have found this post . thank you @heart-to-heart and @lenasveganliving you have inspired me tremendously. thankyou thankyou.
You are so welcome @artywink, I think I speak for a lot of us when I say we're happy to help in any way we can whether it be recipes, substitutions, food prep, whatever the case may be! It's actually a process. When I take clients, we start with buying new groceries and it can take some time getting used to.
I agree with you- have you seen "What the Heath?" It's seriously a life changing documentary and I highly recommend it! We are able to solve so many illnesses with food that for some reason doctors are pushing pills at us for. It's wrong in my opinion and I think you're off to a great start! Especially growing your own veggies because now you're not only getting great nutrients from the earth but you're bypassing all the chemicals and nasties that come from the stuff on the shelves!
Oh, I ABSOLUTELY do think it will help. I am 100% sold on it. Watch the film, you wouldn't believe the success they had getting people off their meds with a plant based diet!
I know we're both excited to have you join in the initiatives we started to bring the vegan community together and have more attention brought to it! Can't wait to see you join in! I can say on my end, I have no problem if you use the same post for both contests (I don't think Lena will either!)
One thing I want to warn you about that people always come to me for is losing weight. I have to advise that just going vegan will not guarantee the loss of weight. A lot of vegans end up eating worse than they did before trying to make up for what they give up so, it's important to note that yes plant based is a great step but it's a healthy plant based diet with exercise and movement that will really get you where you're saying you want to go :) I'm happy to help out with whatever you need, just pop on by my page and leave me a comment or send me a message in Discord or Steem Chat whenever π Goodluck!
Well said Dear @heart-to-heart, I totally agree and thank you πππ
π Happy I saw this here, my heart's all full! π
XOXO
