Sprouts are a wonderful weight loss aide. ¼ cup of dry lentils [1 serving] transforms into a cup of nutritious fibrous sprouts which fills you up.
The process of sprouting increases bio-availability and the nutrient levels, making sprouts richer in protein, folate, antioxidants, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese and vitamins C and K than un-sprouted seeds.
The sprouting process also reduces the amount of antinutrient compounds that decrease your body’s ability to absorb nutrients from the plant — by up to 87%
Sprouts tend to contain higher amounts of insoluble fiber, which can ease digestion and reduce the likelihood of constipation.
Sprouts may help people with type 2 diabetes better control their blood sugar.
It also improves heart health. At the end of the eight-week study, the group that had consumed the lentil sprouts had 12% higher levels of “good” HDL cholesterol and 75–84% lower levels of triglycerides and “bad” LDL cholesterol, compared to the control group.
Caution – make sure that the raw sprouts are fresh without fungus. It is safer to steam it lightly.
I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
