Don't…

  • consume wheat, which is a common cause of bloating
  • consume dairy as this can make the digestive system sluggish causing constipation and bloating
  • use sugar or sweeteners, as these can ferment in the digestive tract causing bloating
  • eat gas-forming foods like baked beans, Brussels' sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower
  • drink carbonated drinks
  • go to bed with a full stomach - eating too late can put unnecessary strain on the digestive system causing a range of problems

It is obvious that a human's needs are different to that of a growing plant but seeds do come packed with a balance of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals which makes them the finest natural food that 'home grown farming' can give. Basic seeds and grains are inexpensive and a mere tablespoon of seeds can produce up to a kilo of sprouts making them even more economical!
