Continuation about sprouts

and rebuild a healthy glowing body with pure living food.
The abundant nutrients in sprouts are the real deal, designed by Mother Nature.  

3. Economically Responsible Anywhere Anytime.

Home sprouting provides fresh food year round for pennies on the dollar.
Wheatgrass is commonly sold at juice bars in the United States for more than four dollars a shot, while homegrown wheatgrass costs 33 cents a shot.
Alfalfa seeds cost around eight dollars a pound. One pound of alfalfa seed will produce more than ten pounds of alfalfa sprouts. That same eight dollars can get you four, two ounce packages of commercially grown sprouts. And since store-bought sprouts have been harvested prematurely, shipped, and shelved, they are not fresh and they don’t last very long.
It pays to be a home sprouter!

4. Great for Weight Loss/ Ideal Weight Management

Sprouts are a low calorie food with a super high nutrient value. By including sprouts in our diet, we provide the body with the energy and nutrients it needs to cleanse, detoxify, and rebuild itself.

5. The Rewards of Home Gardening

It is rewarding to be a home gardener and to eat your own fresh produce. Gardening is a green thing!
It’s easier to sprout indoors where you can control the growing environment than it is to grow food in an outdoor garden where you are up against insects, animals, extreme temperatures, and long growing periods. Your sprouts will be ready from a few days to a few weeks depending on what type of seed you’re growing. For instance, lentil sprouts will be ready in two to three days, whereas greens like wheatgrass need to grow for two weeks. 
Remember, sprouts are a time tested superfood that has been eaten for 5,000 years.  When will you start your indoor garden?

Sprouting Make Easy at Home

Five Reasons for Sprouting at Home

   Home sprouters aren’t limited to the few commercially grown sprouts sold in grocery stores. There are many types of seeds you can sprout in your kitchen year round: lentil, mung bean, radish, mustard, adzuki, sunflower, clover, quinoa, chia, flax, and more. Home sprouting opens the door to variety and to the following five benefits:

1. Living Superfood

   Sprouts are live, alkalizing superfoods exploding with energy and nutrients that literally make your meals come alive.
   Microgreens, the bigger greens such as sunflower greens and pea greens and grasses such as wheatgrass, barley grass and rye grass, are a very rich source of chlorophyll.
   Chlorophyll’s chemical structure is almost identical to the hemoglobin in our red blood cells. While chlorophyll has magnesium in its center, hemoglobin contains iron. Otherwise the chemical composition is the same. This is the reason why green drinks full of chlorophyll are good for re-building the blood.

2.  Pure and Un-Processed Food

   Always make sure your sprouting seeds are organic!
   With all the environmental toxins and chemicals our bodies are exposed to on a daily basis, sprouts offer a rare toxin-free food choice easily assimilated and utilized by your cells.
   Many raw food advocates believe you can detox your body, clean out accumulated garbage from fat cells,

Benefits of Wheat Grass Juice

Wheat-grass, or scientific name Triticum Aestivum, is the grass or the harvest from the cotyledons of the young wheat plant, and its common modes of consumption are by blending it into a juice or as a concentrated powder. Regular consumption of wheat-grass juice or wheat-grass powder concentrate, with proper exercise and healthy daily routines, gives individuals an ample amount of benefits for their health, as well as treatments for some illnesses.

Hello and Welcome to My First Blog!

Hello and Welcome to My First Blog!

I hope to be providing many tidbits to help you learn all about the benefits of eating raw.  Let me first share with you a little bit about me:

“Luzy in the Raw with Almonds” started after 12 years of practice being a vegetarian, a diet based most of all on protein/starch from cooked carbohydrates plus stress = gaining lots of weight (180 lbs) developing hypothyroidism and an irritable colon. I cured myself from being overweight going back to raw food about a year ago, lost almost 50 lbs and I am a work in progress to regulate any other imbalances. I experienced the amazing healing effects of raw foods in only a short time’s practice not only on my benefit but on my father’s who was able to avoid surgery in both his knees due to severe arthritis/inflammation and my daughter overcoming thyroid papillary cancer.
 
I knew then that my mission was to tell everybody about the power of alive foods.
I want to empower people to seek out the solutions that work for them and help them be transformed by preventing and overcoming illness with the focus on weight loss/gain, reversing cancer and more; all of it through changing the acidity in our bodies, exercise, meditation and balance raw food.
I also help those who suffer from a busy and demanding lifestyle to recreate health through raw food. I do teach hands on raw food preparing, soaking and sprouting, dehydrating, juicing and more.

Since I was 30 years old, I'm in the path of learning more about holistic healing options and practicing it on myself and giving support to those who ask for help; my studies have taken me to practice and teach about raw food and alkaline diet, herbs, oils, etc. as a great complement to reach optimum health.
I recently received my certification as a Holistic/Raw Health Educator at Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida that complements my autodidact path.
My life has a purpose and it’s all about the great connection I experience with the Universal life energy source I get through what I eat, what I think, what I do for myself and others.
