I can\u2019t think of a better nutritional bang for your buck, or your time for that matter, than growing your own sprouts. Let me count just some of the reasons we make sure we always have at least one jar, if not many more, on hand!<\/p>\n<h2>Sprouts are Living Food!!<\/h2>\n<p>The most important aspect of sprouts is that they are a LIVING FOOD. Even with a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, if you\u2019re getting all of your food from the grocery store a good deal of that essential \u201clife force\u201d that can be quantifiably viewed through methods such as kirlian photography is lost by the time it reaches your plate. We do try to grow as much of our own food as we can but it still takes a good deal of time and effort, and even with the simplest of gardening methods\u00a0we still run into problems like raccoons deciding they\u2019d like the food for themselves outside or the plants getting torched through the window on a particularly hot and clear day inside. <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2Fr2Prn\">Sprouts<\/a> can be an easy, surefire part of your routine to ensure you get as much of that essence of life into yourself and your family as possible.<\/p>\n<h2>Sprouts are SUPER Nutrient Dense!!<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019re also all about nutrient density which is why we\u2019re so big on <a href=\"http:\/\/ipp.bxt.mybluehost.me\/thesternmethod\/\/supplements\/\">products<\/a> like marine phytoplankton and moringa olifeira, and sprouts are right up there with them at a fraction of the price! Sprouts contain exponentially more vitamins, minerals, and crucial enzymes than un-sprouted seeds or full grown plants. Speaking of seeds, it\u2019s also important to note that to avoid unwanted health consequences it\u2019s crucial that all seeds, nuts, and legumes be at least soaked if not sprouted. You can read about why that is here.<\/p>\n<h2>Sprouts Have Lots of Chlorophyll<\/h2>\n<p>One particular nutrient that is likely the most important reason to eat a lot of leafy greens in the first place that sprouts contain even much higher levels of is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll literally allows plants to harness the power of the sun and turn it into energy and a nutrient we can absorb, which explains why its benefits are so vast all the way from detoxifying the blood to helping our bodies regenerate at the cellular and even molecular level!!<\/p>\n<h2>Broccoli Sprouts Fight Cancer!!<\/h2>\n<p>In this particular video we\u2019re making our absolute nutritional favorites, <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2kGLDjR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">broccoli sprouts<\/a>!! Here are six ways Dr. Jockers points out that broccoli sprouts can fight cancer!! 1) Sprouts Activate Antioxidant Pathways, 2) Sprouts Have Cancer Fighting Enzymes, 3) Sprouts Improve Glutathione Levels, 4) Sprouts Are a Source of Quercetin, 5) Sprouts Have Antimicrobial Properties, 6) Sprouts Improve the Gut Microflora.<\/p>\n<div class='wpb-video'><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"HOW TO GROW BROCCOLI SPROUTS: THE FAST GUIDE\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-F2mU5u7d_M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Many of the benefits he\u2019s referring to here are related to the super nutrient SULFORAPHANE, which I can\u2019t wait to do a deep dive into in an article all on its own. Until then here are three cancer fighting highlights from a review study on sulforaphane:<\/p>\n<p>1) Sulforaphane and Cancer Stem Cells<br \/>\n\u201cRecent identification of a sub-population of tumor cells with stem cell-like self-renewal capacity that may be responsible for relapse, metastasis, and resistance, as a potential target of the dietary compound, may be an important aspect of sulforaphane chemoprevention.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>2) Sulforaphane and Epigenetics<br \/>\n\u201cEvidence also suggests that sulforaphane may target the epigenetic alterations observed in specific cancers, reversing aberrant changes in gene transcription through mechanisms of histone deacetylase inhibition, global demethylation, and microRNA modulation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>3) Sulforaphane and Cellular Mechanisms<br \/>\n\u201cSulforaphane possesses the capacity to intervene in multistage carcinogenesis through the modulation and\/or regulation of important cellular mechanisms. The inhibition of phase I enzymes that are responsible for the activation of pro-carcinogens, and the induction of phase II enzymes that are critical in mutagen elimination are well-characterized chemopreventive properties. Furthermore, sulforaphane mediates a number of anticancer pathways, including the activation of apoptosis, induction of cell cycle arrest, and inhibition of NF\u03baB.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Powerful enough for you?? This is why we along with a good supply of broccoli sprouts we also employ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clar8ty.com\/Calibr8\/?repid=mkcc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Calibr8<\/a> which gives a sulforaphane super boost from its high level of broccoli sprout extract along with a ton of other very well-known and researched ingredients!<\/p>\n<h2>Sprouts Give Variety<\/h2>\n<p>Last is very important, even if you are eating a good deal of fruits and vegetables, when you stop and think about it you don\u2019t get a ton of variety from the grocery store or even what you\u2019re able to grow on your own. Our ancestors consumed hundreds of times greater of a variety of plants than we do today. This is one of the reasons I REALLY want to take up foraging, but also a key reason sprouts are so great as getting an entirely new set of nutrients is as easy as buying a new seed or legume and throwing them in a <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2jL8nk8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mason jar<\/a> with a <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2kKP7oD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sprouting lid<\/a> like we do in this video!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We LOVE sprouts!!
