The Sprout Book

Kiemgroenten zijn waarschijnlijk de meest effectieve wijze waarop wij onze voeding gezonder kunnen maken. Zie hiervoor bijvoorbeeld ook het gesprek "De verboden medicijnkast" met Rob Baan op deze website.

Zelf neem ik zeer regelmatig o.a. broccolikiemen en andere soorten om mijn imuunsysteem te versterken en het geeft rust te beseffen dat het een grote invloed heeft op de mate waarin ons lichaam in staat is om kankercellen op te ruimen.

Ik heb hier het Sprout Book van Doug Evans opgenomen omdat hierin veel van de grote namen binnen de leefstijlgeneeskunde hun mening over kiemgroenten geven en waarom zij zelf dagelijks deze eten.

Uiteraard zijn er Nederlandstalige boeken over kiemen te verkrijgen en zij zullen allemaal het gemak waarmee je ze zelf kunt kweken uitleggen. Hier heb ik enkele mooie gesprekken met Doug toegevoegd zodat je hopelijk geinspireerd zult raken over de enorme voordelen die dit heeft in vergelijking tot bijvoorbeeld vitaminen uit een potje.
