“The world owes nothing to any man, but every man owes something to the world.”
“I have more respect for the fellow with a single idea who gets there than for the fellow with a thousand ideas who does nothing.” “If we all did the things we are really capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves….” “Fools call wise men fools. A wise man never calls any man a fool.” ― Thomas Edison Food for Thought: Although rich in nutrients, most plant foods also contain varying amounts of antinutrients. These antinutrients can reduce your body’s ability to absorb minerals from these foods. Sprouting and fermenting are simple and time-tested methods of reducing the amounts of antinutrients found in various foods. These techniques increase the amounts of beneficial nutrients absorbed from plant foods and can also boost their overall protein quality. Interestingly, sprouting may also slightly reduce the amount of gluten found in certain grains. Fermented plant foods are good sources of probiotic bacteria, which may help improve immune function and digestive health. They also contain vitamin K2, which may promote bone and dental health as well as help decrease the risk of heart disease and inhibit the growth of cancer cells. You can try sprouting or fermenting grains at home. Some sprouted or fermented products — such as Ezekiel bread, tempeh, miso, natto, sauerkraut, pickles, kimchi, and kombucha — are also available in stores.
