Supercharging Your Health. What History can teach us about the Secret of Sprouting.

The practice of sprouting, and the use of sprouts as medicine, dates back in Chinese history since 3000 B.C.

We can no longer get enough nutrition from the vegetables and fruits grown in our soil anymore. In fact, in some produce certain vitamins are just not there anymore. 

Diet is one of the 5 branches, or disciplines, in Chinese Medicine and for good reason. Without proper nutrition, Gu Qi, our bodies will fail. Our immune system, circulation, nervous system, hormone and endocrine system, and everything else lose optimal function and becomes pathological.

That’s where sprouting comes in. Sprouts are an excellent source of nutrition, but they also have the added benefit of detoxifying the body and reducing inflammation. Taking some of the work off the body’s organs and immune system. In Chinese Medicine this is called clearing heat, expelling heat toxins, resolving dampness, and clearing phlegm.

Sprouting is a simple way to help ensure you are getting the proper nutrition. Some of the most commonly sprouted produce are: alfalfa, broccoli, lentils, and mung beans. However, you can sprout just about anything, including: almonds, quinoa, radishes, clovers, beans, nuts, and seeds. All you need is organic seeds, nuts, or beans, water, and a jar or sprouting tray.

Sprouting gives you more nutrition, pound for pound than the vegetable it would produce. Vegetables are like a half used battery, as sprouts are a brand new battery. They give you: vitamins, fiber, protein, and fats.
