Eating Raw Foods and Growing Sprouts

Living foods, acid alkaline diet, raw foods diet, raw vegan diet and other new age diets are receiving a great amount of interest from people all over the world looking to increase their energy levels, overall health and the quality of the environment they live in, and to fortify themselves against disease and illness. Eating raw foods and growing sprouts is usually always a part of this approach for the convenience, nutrition and versatility that makes them a respected dietary supplement.

Many individuals are starting to become disillusioned and distrustful of the presented data they have for so long been led to believe about the benefits of western medicine, and are looking more towards grass roots ways to use their foods and lifestyles as preventative medicine. With the changing landscape of the healthcare system, with constantly increasing fees and a longer list of exclusions, this march towards preventative from reactive is really ticking boxes for people.

Many health professionals concur that the best medicine is preventative medicine, and that reviewing lifestyles and daily practices is a huge determining factor in ones total health. In the United States alone (and this is increasing worldwide daily), the accessibility of processed, fried and fast foods far outweighs that of fresh vegetables and living foods. These types of foods that are making up way too high a percentage of the general American diet, frequently consist of large amounts of bleached wheat flour, corn syrup, processed meats and a huge assortment of deep fried foods, often utilizing harmful (but profitable) oils like Canola.These factors have combined to triple the obesity rate among young and middle aged Americans in the past 25 years. As increasing numbers of people learn of this problem, the interest is increasing exponentially to find simple ways to integrate more basic living foods into their diet, which is why growing sprouts is surging in popularity.

One of the challenges that face individuals looking to integrate a healthier diet is that a lot of the most outspoken individuals and groups that promote the healthier choices are very extreme in their views, sometimes rallying against the people who make these “unwise” nutrition decisions, rather than looking at the overall contributors that have created the situation as it is. The team over at Seeds of Sustainability believes that human beings are naturally intelligent, adaptable creatures that will over time make progressively wiser choices as those options become available, and that giving too much attention to the problems tends to reinforce them. For this reason, we suggest to anyone who is transitioning to a healthier, more oxygen rich diet to do so at a comfortable rate. For many people, they are taking this approach to make decisions that are more respectful to their body and the environment, so it makes sense to not make the transition a trauma for the body in itself. It is very common when individuals try to transition too hastily from a typical western diet to a vegan, vegetarian or raw foods diet to go into an intense and undesirable detoxification process, commonly known as a “healing crisis.”

We believe strongly in adding living foods to the diet rather than taking something else away, and gradually increasing the percentage of living foods you take in over time. Using this approach you will come to your own conclusions of what you want to keep eating and what you will move away from, without feeling like you are losing something. The body is far more intelligent and self regulating than most of us give it credit for, and it is useful to keep this in mind as we review our lifestyles and decisions. If you are looking for a simple way to start this transition, growing sprouts offers a fast and affordable option to obtain highly nutritious and versatile foods, to supplement your current diet. Using the Marche Method makes this process even easier, as it requires no daily rinsing of your sprouts and enables you to grow as little or as much sprouted foods as you would like in just 72 hours.
