“Alfalfa sprouts are a great toxin remover . . . “

Here is the first email of our A-Z of Everyday Foods and their Amazing Health Benefits.

This week we would like to introduce you to ALFALFA SPROUTS AND THEIR HEALTH BENEFITS.

Alfalfa Sprouts are such an excellent source of vitamins and minerals and are known as a “living food”.    After they are harvested the vitamin content continues to increase.  Most other fruits and vegetables, after picking, start to lose their vitamins.  Sprouts only need clean water to grow and do not need light, the use of soil, pesticides or fungicides during their growth period, which is an advantage to our health straight away.

Alfalfa has been used for thousands of years in Western and Ancient Medicines right around the world.  It is a rich source of Vitamins A, C, E & K and the mineral content includes – iron, potassium, phosphorous and calcium.  It also contains high levels of chlorophyll and carotene and can help protect us from a variety of diseases.

The benefits of consuming Alfalfa, whether in its natural form, herbal mix or in a prepared tea are many and varied and may assist in the treatment of the following conditions:

• Regulating Diabetes
• Anaemia
• Arthritis and Lupus
• Elimination of Fluid Retention
• Kidney Stones
• Insomnia
• Osteoporosis
• Stimulates milk flow for lactating mothers
• PMS
• Menopausal symptoms including hot flashes, fibrocystic breast lumps
• Balances hormones
• Beneficial for pancreatic, colon and leukaemia cancers
• Pituitary problems
• Contains highly active nutrients that may prevent DNA destruction
• Lowers cholesterol levels
• Relieve Urinary and Bowel problems
• Blood Cleanser
• Aids in the removal of toxins from the body

Alfalfa certainly is a cleansing “health” food and one food we should include in our diet on a daily basis.

Yours in health,
