Looking For Some Good Sources of Vegetarian Protein?

When most people today consider raw protein sources, they believe of nuts and seeds.  For vegetarians that are cooked, beans and tofu may come to mind.  However, a less well-known and often overlooked source of protein is sprouts!  Were you aware that sprouts are great sources of protein, super simple to grow, economical and packed with vitamin, minerals and fiber?Sprouts are a powerhouse super food.  Just think about the genlei jintropin 10iu energy it takes for a natural vegetable seed to germinate and grow many times it's size in a matter of days.  

Mature radishes for example have 10IU/100g of vitamins vs. the young radish sprout which has 391IU - 39 times more!   By percent, sprouts such as lentils are 13% protein.  Compare it to egg whites at 11% protein.  The reason sprouts aren't generally regarded as a protein food is since they're so light, it takes VOLUMES to make it to the protein material in more concentrated foods that are dense.  For instance, it would take 1 1/2 cups of soybean sprouts to roughly equal the protein grams in only 1/2 cup of egg whites.Raw foodists frequently overcome this"problem" by juicing or making mixed soups so the volume is condensed to a smaller amount and you do not haven't to spend daily chomping on a huge bowl of sprouts.  

The secretion of the human growth hormone decreases with age. It is established that the level of production of HGH by the pituitary gland decreases by 50% every 7 years (in people from 25 years and over). This may lead to a number of undesirable symptoms, which are usually associated with aging processes: fat accumulation, loss of muscle mass, disorders associated with cognitive functions (memory, speech), strength loss, lack of stamina, bone fragility, etc.

Synthetic human growth hormone was developed in 1985 and approved by the FDA for specific uses in children and adults. In children, Its injections are approved for treating short stature of unknown cause as well as poor growth due to a number of medical causes including:

• Turner’s syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects a girl’s development
• Prader-Willi syndrome, an uncommon genetic disorder causing poor muscle tone, low levels of sex hormones, and a constant feeling of hunger
• Chronic kidney disease
• HGH deficiency or insufficiency
• Children born small for gestational age

For example, you may juice lemon, apple and alfalfa sprouts.  Or create a raw creamy soup by mixing avocado using sunflower sprouts and a small bit of dulse seaweed - one of my favourite combos!Therefore, if you're searching for a bit more variety in your protein consumption, consider swapping out a little bit of your animal-based protein for a cup of pea sprouts and receive a 10g reach of protein.  You will not just get a good supply of highly-digestible protein, but minerals, fiber and vitamins to boot!For a totally free photo guide on growing your own sprouts readily in your home, please see Healthy Simple Living with Kali Lilla.Rosemary"Kali Lilla" Vargas was a raw food enthusiast for many years.  She received her Living Food Lifestyle Total Well-Being Certification in 2003 from the Ann Wigmore Center in Puerto Rico and at 2006 went to work for the prestigious Tree of Life Rejuvenation and Raw Food Center in Arizona.  In 2007, she moved to Kauai to find organic farming at the LaOla Health Center in Kilauea.  Kali Lilla is also a certified yoga teacher and former owner of Yoga Bums Studio in NJ.
