Did you Know?
World Earthworm Day was Oct 21.
How did you Celebrate?
21st October as World Earthworm
Day to give the world an opportunity to celebrate these ecologically
vital and under-appreciated animals. An October date was chosen
in order to honour the father of earthworm ecology, Charles
Darwin, as this is the month that his book 'The Formation
of Vegetable Mould Through the Actions of worms' was published. |

Added Benefits of Sprouting:
- It is easily digestible.
- Sprouting increases the vitamins and mineral content.
- Doubles the Vitamin A content.
- B complex vitamin increases 5-10 times more.
- Level of Vitamin C increases.
- The bio availability of nutrients increases.
- Proteins are easily digestible.
Sprouts are biologically dense foods and contain
proteolytic enzymes that make carbohydrates and proteins digestible.
Sprouts increase the level of antioxidants
and Vitamin C in your body along with chlorophyll
content that boosts your immune system and
detoxifies your body. |

The Forest was shrinking but the Trees kept

Heavy is the
head that wears the crown.
What's your cellphone angle?
Head weighs about 5kg. The neck supports the
weight of the head which, according to the angle of the inclination,
increases. The more we look down, the more our heads weigh.
What's more, the support plethora of soft tissues,
fascias, muscles, ligaments and tendons becomes tense and
tired, which increases tension on joints and discs. If not
now, then down the track, this will have an impact on the
neck as it gets stiffer and the likelihood of creating problems
elsewhere.

Anatomy of a Sprout
Just what makes them so good for us?
A natural organic multi-vitamin, Sprouts
are touted as nature's most perfect food. Containing over
3,000 different known proteins and enzymes
they provide an excellent supply of Minerals
and Vitamins A, E, C & B-complex.
But what does it all mean. What
are these Proteins, Enzymes & Amino acids and
what do they do?
With food shortages a distinct possibility
in near future it might be a good idea to make sure you have
a good supply of protein.
What
are these proteins, enzymes and amino acids you speak of.

Anatomy of a Sprout
What is in them that makes them sooo
good?
Sprouts are so high in nutritional value that
they are considered nature's Superfood. Packed with vitamins,
minerals, proteins, enzymes and phytochemicals, sprouts have
been shown to help digestion, increase energy levels and provide
a boost to the immune system. |
Protein
Proteins are large molecules made up of
hundreds to thousands of amino acids. They perform a vast
array of functions within organisms. Proteins are required
for the structure, function, and regulation
of the body’s tissues and organs. Regulatory proteins
are called enzymes.
Their function is encoded in a cell's DNA. DNA provides the
recipe (genetic sequence) for creating Proteins and mRNA (messenger
RNA) transcribes thin information to create the required Proteins.
"Living things, after all are constructed by the execution
of a series of genetic messages encoded in DNA. Genes, the
functional units of that genetic program, generally encode
proteins, which are the workhorses of the cell. As our exploration
of the genomes of humans and other organisms expands, it becomes
clear that those proteins can do just about everything required
to produce an organism ..."
~ Kenneth Miller
Examples of protein & functions:
(MedlinePlus.gov)
Function |
Description |
Antibody |
Antibodies bind to specific foreign particles,
such as viruses and bacteria, to help protect the body. |
Enzyme |
Enzymes carry out almost all of the thousands
of chemical reactions that take place in cells. They
also assist with the formation of new molecules by reading
the genetic information stored in DNA. |
Messenger |
Messenger proteins, such as some types
of hormones, transmit signals to coordinate biological
processes between different cells, tissues, and organs. |
Structural component |
These proteins provide structure and
support for cells. On a larger scale, they also allow
the body to move. |
Transport/storage |
These proteins bind and carry atoms and
small molecules within cells and throughout the body. |
|
Amino acids
Amino acids are organic compounds composed
of nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Your body needs 20 different amino acids to grow and function
properly. Though all 20 of these are important  for
your health, only 9 amino acids are classified as
essential
Unlike nonessential amino acids, essential amino acids can’t
be made by your body and must be obtained through
your diet.
Sprouts are one of the best sources of protein
and amino acids.
When you eat protein, it’s broken down into amino acids,
which are then used to help your body with various processes
such as building muscle and regulating immune function. |
Enzymes
Enzymes are proteins that help speed up
metabolism, or the chemical reactions in our bodies. Sometime
they build substances up and other times they break substances
down. All living things have enzymes. Our bodies naturally
produce enzymes. But enzymes can also be found in food, like
Sprouts.
Enzymes are involved in growth, blood coagulation, healing,
diseases, breathing, digestion, reproduction, and many other
biological activities. |
Minerals
Minerals are important for your body to
stay healthy. Your body uses minerals for many different jobs,
including keeping your bones, muscles, heart, and brain working
properly. Minerals are also important for making enzymes and
hormones. There are two kinds of minerals: macrominerals and
trace minerals. You need larger amounts of macrominerals.
They include calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium,
chloride and sulfur. You only need small amounts of trace
minerals. They include iron, manganese, copper, iodine, zinc,
cobalt, fluoride and selenium. |
