Nutrition ⇒ Broccoli Sprouts and Sulforaphane

[canadahealthy]

I'll try to get a couple bottles going.

It won't hurt.

I know it tastes horrible so best consumed in minute quantities in smoothies.

Sulforaphane inhibits mitochondrial fission. As I understand it both mitochondrial fission and fusion are important for good health and longevity. However mitochondrial fusion is downgraded in aging individuals.

Great! Thank you. I was wondering what exactly was so great about Sulforaphane.

The commonly understood health benefits of sulforaphane is due to it activating the nrf2 protein.

I am glad we are finding more information for the elderly.

I am really excited about what i am doing for myself. Also knowing i can reverse some effects of again motivates me to exercise , both with weight bearing exercise and cardio.. but it is also good to have some tools to help my aging parents. Even little things for their confort and energy can mean a lot.

And it sounds like Sulforaphane can help.

If you want to know how to grow broccoli sprouts, there is a great, very detailed video on this page by Holly Mann.  I'm going to try it myself.

I have finished my first batch, which will be going into the freezer (which amplifies the sulforaphane tremendously).

This took only 1% of my seeds and has made about 2 cups of sprouts.

They are good for elderly people but good for everyone. So I think i will use them in smoothies and salads.

So what do they taste like? are they as strong as some have reported?

I've harvested my first batch of sprouts. Took 5 days on the nose. Lots and lots of sprouts.

I didn't notice any issues with the flavour at all. I like it. I think i will start making a nice tasty salad and add it to it for my mother.

I certainly like the idea of taking this every day.

Well i am convinced to give it a try.

Time to grow some sprouts.
