Moon Wellness and Superfoods- A recipe using broccoli super sprouts
Hi, it’s Keiko.
In today’s article I would like you to share with you more about my new method called Moon Wellness.
Moon Wellness is a lifestyle which incorporates the energy and the rhythm of the Moon to help you live a healthy life full of good fortune, both physically and mentally.
As the Air Era begins, things will start to become more and more virtual, and it’s quite possible that people will disregard their bodies, their five senses, and other experiences.
However, maintaining a healthy body and mind will be extremely important in order to establish a firm self-axis and boost your fortune in the Air Era.
To that end, I would like you to pay close attention to the food you eat. Our bodies rely on balanced meals and moderate exercise in order to stay healthy, and therefore food is an important pillar when it comes to living your life according to the Moon Wellness philosophy.
In the Air Era things will change at an even quicker pace than they do now, so you will need to pay close attention to your physical and mental health. On that note, I am going to share with you some useful information about a superfood which is not only extremely easy to introduce into your diet but will also promote your health and boost your immune system.
What are Superfoods?
Superfoods are mainly plant-derived foods that contain higher quantities of essential nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, and healthier ingredients than regular foods.
From among all of the many superfoods that exist, in today’s post I am going to shine a spotlight on broccoli super sprouts, which can be easily obtained at the supermarket.

What are broccoli super sprouts?
Are you a fan of broccoli? Broccoli is rich in vitamin C, which is said to boost immunity and make your skin beautiful, folic acid, which is said to be essential for pregnant women, sulforaphane, which has antioxidant and detoxifying properties, and potassium, which helps to relieve swelling.
Surprisingly broccoli also includes a lot of protein, and when actors are preparing for roles and they want to maintain muscle but lose weight, they often include a lot of broccoli in their diet.
Because broccoli has so many different nutrients, it is often called the ‘king of vegetables.’ But believe it or not there is a vegetable which goes far beyond broccoli, with twenty times more detoxifying properties! That is nothing other than ‘broccoli super sprouts,’ which are sprouts harvested three days after broccoli seeds have germinated.
Incidentally, one week after germination they become ‘broccoli sprouts’ and their detoxifying properties are still ten times more than that of broccoli itself. This is still very incredible!
Broccoli super sprouts and broccoli sprouts are vegetables which were developed by American researchers in the field of preventative medicine, and these past few years it has become much easier to find them in the vegetable aisle of many supermarkets. I should point out that I am so grateful for and have a lot of respect for the researchers in the field of preventative medicine.
Our cells are damaged on a daily basis!
Many of you are probably already aware of this, but the fact is the cells in our bodies are damaged on a daily basis. Here are just a few ways that our cells become damaged…
Ultraviolet rays in sunlight
Additives in food
Toxic substances in the air
Free radicals produced by a partial change in oxygen
There are downsides to this, such as the fact that damaged cells can lead to aging and other problems, but on the other hand the human body is incredible in the sense that it has…
detoxification power, or the ability to rid the body of harmful things
antioxidant power, or the ability to fight off active oxygen
Moreover, since broccoli super sprouts were produced from the point of view of preventative medicine and they are readily available at supermarkets, then it is very much human nature to want to use it to assist the body’s natural detoxification and antioxidant powers.
Say yes to self-love!
Say yes to Moon Wellness!
The best feature of broccoli super sprouts is sulforaphane
Here are some of the features of broccoli super sprouts…
Taste: a subtle spiciness and the flavour of broccoli as an aftertaste
Health components: Sulforaphane, vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotene, iron, folic acid
Health effects: antioxidant effect, detoxification effect, hay fever control, anemia prevention, bactericidal action against H. pylori
Consuming broccoli super sprouts
When you eat broccoli super sprouts, I recommend that you chop them up finely.
Why is that?
Well, actually the body naturally produces enzymes that have a detoxifying effect, and enzymes that work to eliminate free radicals. And sulforaphane, which helps in the production of these enzymes, is a component in broccoli super sprouts and broccoli sprouts. Because sulforaphane is sensitive to heat, it’s better consumed raw rather than when it is fried or put into soups. Furthermore, chewing and chopping it well help to activate it’s beneficial properties even more.
A recommended recipe for broccoli super sprouts
