Broccoli Sprouts and Gratitude

This week we watched Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss the benefits of eating cruciferous vegetables. She inspired us to start growing our own broccoli sprouts under the sink! It is surprisingly easy to execute, and in one week, you will have sprouts growing out of your ears!

Here is the WHY:  Cruciferous vegetables contain glucosinolate (which is really good for your health) and broccoli sprouts have an insane amount — about 10 to 100 times more than most cruciferous vegetables!

Sulforaphane (part of the glucosinolate family) is especially potent. The video below details many of the suggested benefits of consuming broccoli sprouts! 

Isothiocyanates are some of the most important plant compounds you can get in your diet. In this video I make the most comprehensive case for them that has ever been made. Short attention span? Skip to your favorite topic by clicking one of the time points below. Full timeline below the fold...

 Try adding in 1 cup of sprouts/day to a smoothie, frittata, or salad.

Broccoli Sprouts have been shown to be one of the most potent antioxidant and detoxification supporting foods known to man. In this video, Tom Malterre, MS CN, author of The Elimination Diet, demonstrates how to grow your own kitchen garden of broccoli sprouts.

Gratitude

"Gratitude changes the pangs of memory into a tranquil joy." Dietrich Bonhoeffer

For clients struggling with seeing the beauty in their lives, we recommend keeping a gratitude journal. It can be as simple as waking, going outside, and jotting down five beautiful observations in your yard. This simple task helps orient the brain to the beauty around us we often take for granted.

Life is 99% perspective. We create our own stories from what we see, hear, touch, and integrate. Two people can watch the same event on a street corner and write completely disparate narratives...our mindset is our lens, and we can transform our mindset if we open ourselves to the beauty around us and breathe it in...

RECIPE - "The Big Ass Salad"

Mark Sisson, founder of Mark's Daily Apple , usually starts his day with a "Big Ass Salad" around noon. This meal is filled with omegas, avocado, colorful veggies, and nuts/seeds.

We encourage many of our clients to have one large salad per day with at least five veggie colors  and a variety of fats! Whether you are following a balanced macronutrient plan or a LCHF/Keto diet, this meal is perfect and can be amended for any food value!

Here are some creative fat ideas to add to your salad: sprouted nuts, macadamia nut oil, walnut oil, avocado oil, pumpkin seeds, smoked salmon, sardines, olives, avocado, pine nuts, shaved raw coconut, etc.
