Today is March 18. Going to meet up with buddies tonight at the Neuropathy Support Groups meeting.
I grew so many sprouts, I put them all in ziplock bags and they are in my fridge. Still sprouting but much slower. And after a few days, all I have to do is give them a drink of water, put them in my salad spinner, and put them out to dry for a few hours.
It wakes them up and it's like a big new bunch of sprouts.
I love sprouting BIG bunches. It frees up more time, and I can eat sprouts at each meal.
For breakfast I just put them on an egg white sandwich. Doing this for a year now.
I love them this way.
And with the addition of cabbage sprouts, well it's a little zing to the taste buds.
Hope all of you are well.

I am now sprouitng cabbage
Well, my sprouts turned out lovely. They are on my kitchen shelf and they plumped up beautifully. Tonight, in my salad, I had alfalfa, radish, fenugreek, broccoli and cabbage sprouts. I haven't used any kind of lettuce in over a year. What savings!!
This is a great way to get anti-oxidants into one's body. And because I'm diabetic, this is HEALTHY, as well as SUPER NUTRITIOUS. Remember, sprouts are a SUPER FOOD.
Hope all of you are eating healthy.
Take care,
Melody

I found a new Green channel
Hi All.
Well, imagine my surprise when I found out that there is a Planet Green Channel. I discovered it a few days ago. Emeril has his own show called Emeril Green. I have Directv and it's on channel 286. My friend watches this channel and she was all excited and phoned me and said "Melody, there is a lady on tv and she's showing how to sprout!!!"
This happened after the segment was over, but they might re-run that particular episode. So if any of you are GREEN people, just go to planetgreen.com and you'll get all sorts of environment tips and Green Tips and vegetarian recipes and ways to GO GREEN, if that is your desire.
What we should ALL be doing is getting all that processed crap out of our diets. No more fast foods, no red meat, just lean protein, and eat a plant based diet.
Especially for us diabetics. Can't stress this enough.
Eat well, and your body will love you. Eat BAD, and your body will pay the price.
It will feel sluggish, you won't have any energy, you won't want to do ANYTHING.
I, myself, found a great resource for energy (and it kicked my diabetic neuropathy to the curb).
It's called Methyl B-12. It's the form of B-12 that our bodies convert from regular B-12.
If you go to the store and pick up a bottle of B-12, take a look at the form it is in.
It will say CYANOCOBALIMIN.
If you take this, your body will then convert it to METHYLCOBALIMIN (which is exactly what the body needs). This form of B-12 replenishes the cells in our bodies and gives us energy. Kind of like what our life force should be like.
I started with 1000 sublingually each morning (the week I was diagnosed with diabetic neuropathy). I knew immediately what I had to do. I go on a website called NEUROTALKS. And I viewed the forums, both Neuropathy and Diabetic forums. They have MANY MANY VARIOUS FORUMS.
I learned about Methyl B-12. I applied what I learned, I learned how to manage my blood sugar, and the rest is history.
I'm much better for eating the way I eat.
There isn't a doctor on this planet that will tell you "Nutrition is all important"
The doctors say "Take this pill, or take that pill".
Pharmaceutical companies are behind this.
We don't have to be medication dependent for the rest of our lives.
We CAN take control of our health.
So eat lots of sprouts and blackberries, and small amounts of lean protein. 4 oz on a plate.
Eat a plant based diet (with Olive Oil).
Oh, and take a look at that bottle of vegetable oil in your cabinet.
Look at the ingredient. Want to know what vegetable oil actually is?
SOYBEAN OIL.
Now if you are a female over the age of 45 and if you have ever had fibroid tumors, and as you know, they shrink after menopause, WELL, DID YOU KNOW THAT EATING SOY, will UN SHRINK THEM.
Stay away from Vegetable Oil. And corn oil is inflammatory.
Use Olive Oil, or Canola Oil, or Safflower or Sunflower Oil for your stir-frying.
I put Extra Virgin Oil (just a spash), on my sprout salads.
I then add a bit of Apple cider vinegar.
It's great for diabetes.
So that's my tip for this week.
Happy sprouting.
