Spraying liquid sea minerals mixed with water on your home-grown sprouts and microgreens daily mineralizes them as they develop, supercharging them for your health Sprouts and microgreens such as radish, broccoli, fenugreek, kale, and sunflower should be eaten at lunchtime, because they support your energy levels during the day Bean and lentil sprouts should be eaten at dinnertime, because they help calm and relax your nervous system in the evening A juice made from cucumber, pea shoots, and sunflower greens can over time amplify a person’s ability to see at night SPROUT-FILLED COLLARD WRAPS WITH MANGO-TOMATO DIPPING SAUCE Makes 1 to 2 servings These fresh, colorful collard wraps are a great way to fill your day with veggies It’s a fun lunch option to set out a tray of sliced veggies and let people build their own Plus, you can make a variety of dipping sauces using some of the other recipes in the book—try the cilantro pesto, the garlic tahini salad dressing, or the nori rolls’ avocado dip 6 large collard leaves 1 bell pepper, any color 1 avocado ¼ red cabbage 2 medjool dates, pitted 2 cups sprouts 2 cups microgreens 1 cup diced mango 1 cup diced tomato 1 quarter-size slice ginger ¼ inch slice of jalapeño (optional) Rinse the collard leaves and trim off their stems Set aside for later use in a soup or smoothie Slice the bell pepper, avocado, and cabbage into thin strips Finely chop and mash the dates to form a paste With the stem side facing you, start at the right side of the collard leaf and fill with the sliced veggies, sprouts, and microgreens Roll toward the left like a burrito, folding the top of the leaf in as you go Use the date paste along the left edge of the collard green to seal Repeat with the remaining collard leaves, filling, and paste For the dipping sauce, blend the mango, tomato, ginger, and jalapeño, if using, until smooth Sweet Potatoes While the regular potato has been mistakenly villainized, the brighter, flashier sweet potato has gotten some of the acclaim it deserves As with any of the life-changing foods in this book, though, it deserves more credit than it gets—sweet potatoes and yams are better for us than anyone realizes To start with, sweet potatoes promote productive bacteria in the stomach, small intestine, and colon, while at the same time, they starve out unproductive bacteria and fungi such as mold that are camping out there By keeping these microbes at bay, sweet potatoes are standouts at enhancing the body’s production of B12 Also, sweet potatoes help prevent a condition called megacolon—that is, an expansion of the colon due to proliferation of C difficile, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, E coli, H pylori, Chlamydia, and/or other bacteria Plus, this superfood helps alleviate narrowing of the intestinal tract due to the chronic inflammation that’s so commonly diagnosed as Crohn’s or colitis Abundant in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, orange-fleshed sweet potatoes are especially praised for being packed with carotenoids such as beta-carotene and lycopene, and rightfully so These phytochemicals are extremely powerful If you are fair and eat a sweet potato daily, before long you’ll see your skin take on a glow, as if it’s been sun-kissed The lycopene, combined with sweet potatoes’ abundant amino acids, is a recipe for drawing radiation from the body On top of which, the anti-cancerous phytochemicals in sweet potatoes help protect you against skin cancers, breast cancer, reproductive cancers, stomach cancer, intestinal cancers, esophageal cancer, and rectal cancer Sweet potatoes are also phytoestrogenic and perform the vital function of ridding the body of unusable, destructive, cancer-causing estrogen that interferes with the body’s hormone function These estrogens come from plastics, pharmaceuticals, food, and environmental toxins, as well as from the body producing an overabundance of the hormone (due to a diet high in estrogen-producing foods) Because it’s more than the body can use, this estrogen becomes inactive and builds up in the organs, negatively affecting the endocrine system By purging this excess estrogen, sweet potatoes make room for healthier estrogens to take their place Sweet potatoes are also important for regulating hair growth; they stimulate it where needed and prohibit hair when it tries to grow in the wrong places, as in the condition hirsutism If you struggle with insomnia or another sleeping disorder, sweet potatoes are very useful They provide a critical form of glucose that stimulates the development of neurotransmitters such as glycine, dopamine, GABA, and serotonin, all of which aid in the ability to sleep soundly Whether you like orange, yellow, white, pink, or purple sweet potatoes, eat up Each type holds medicinal qualities that will power you through life CONDITIONS If you have any of the following conditions, try bringing sweet potatoes into your life: Megacolon, hirsutism, colitis, Crohn’s disease, skin cancers, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, stomach cancer, intestinal cancers, esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer, sleep disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), heart disease, kidney disease, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), insomnia, alopecia, sunburn, Asperger’s syndrome, depression, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), psoriatic arthritis, epilepsy, hiatal hernia, adrenal fatigue, neuropathy, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, eczema, psoriasis, shingles, urinary tract infections (UTIs), chlamydia, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, scleroderma, lichen sclerosus, celiac disease, social anxiety disorder SYMPTOMS If you have any of the following symptoms, try bringing sweet potatoes into your life: Dandruff, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues, diarrhea, anxiousness, intestinal tract discomfort, inflamed colon, colon spasms, heartburn, scar tissue, muscle cramps, muscle spasms, food sensitivities, heart palpitations, hot flashes, abdominal cramping, accelerated aging, brain lesions, colon spasms, depersonalization, digestive disturbances, abnormal Pap smear results, eye dryness, swelling, age spots, weight gain, scaly skin, intestinal polyps EMOTIONAL SUPPORT When you need some coddling, there’s nothing more comforting than a baked sweet potato Unlike greasy, fried, or sugar-filled and processed “comfort” foods that leave you feeling bloated, lethargic, and more depressed, a sweet potato has properties that actually give you the sensation that the world around you has shut down This is an important function that makes you feel safe and soothed, like you’re getting a hug even if no one’s there to give you one, so that you can draw up the strength to deal with hard times SPIRITUAL LESSON Have you ever baked a sweet potato and seen the natural sugars that bubble up and drip down the sides? A sweet potato in and of itself is as rich as anything you could ask for—and yet that doesn’t seem to be enough for us Popular sweet potato recipes call for butter, cream, brown sugar, or marshmallows Even though sweet potatoes are sweeter than sweet and already perfect, we adulterate them, obscure their natural qualities, and overindulge Where in your life are you unnecessarily piling on the extra toppings? Sweet potatoes teach us to evaluate other circumstances where we’ve been handed a pure and complete gift, and out of fear or a lack of appreciation, we’ve felt like that wasn’t enough TIPS To reap sweet potatoes’ maximum benefits, try to eat one per day If you crave a creamy accompaniment to your sweet potato, scoop out some fresh avocado and mash it in as though it were butter After you’ve cooked a batch of sweet potatoes (steaming and baking are the healthiest preparations), set some aside to save for later in the fridge Chopping them up and serving over salad helps your body absorb and assimilate more nutrients from leafy greens And a few bites of sweet potato when you’re having trouble sleeping in the middle of the night will help you get some rest Try rubbing a piece of raw sweet potato on a scar It has medicinal qualities that stimulate healing and tone the skin to help reduce scar tissue People often use cucumber slices to get rid of bags under the eyes For variety, try cold slices of cooked sweet potato instead This will infuse the under-eye tissue with betacarotene, bringing back vitality to your appearance When you’re dealing with sunburn, try eating sweet potato to recover faster If you have a lot of internal scar tissue from past surgeries, try a routine of eating two sweet potatoes daily for one week, then one sweet potato daily for three weeks Repeat every month until your condition improves When you’re scheduled to see a movie you know will be scary or action-packed, eat a sweet potato beforehand It will support your adrenals as you experience the excitement, fear, and adventure on-screen SWEET POTATOES STUFFED WITH BRAISED CABBAGE Makes 2 to 4 servings A great dish for weekly dinners, the components of this dish can be made ahead of time and assembled just prior to serving Bake sweet potatoes and cook the cabbage in advance and store them in the fridge for up to four days for a quick, easy dinner that takes minutes to prepare For best results, make the sauce right before serving and ladle it piping hot over the stuffed sweet potatoes 4 sweet potatoes 4 cloves of garlic, minced 1 onion, diced 1 tablespoon coconut oil 1 red cabbage, shredded ½ teaspoon sea salt ½ lemon FOR SAUCE: 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon raw honey 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger FOR GARNISH: 4 tablespoons minced parsley Preheat the oven to 400°F Bake sweet potatoes on a baking sheet for 45 to 60 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork In a large pan, sauté garlic and onions in tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and soft Add the cabbage and sea salt, along with ½ cup of water Cover and cook over medium heat for 30 to 40 minutes until the cabbage is tender, continuing to stir occasionally and adding a splash of water as needed to moisten Split open sweet potatoes and mash each side slightly with a fork Stuff as much braised cabbage into the openings as possible Make the sauce just before serving the sweet potatoes (For 4 servings, double the ingredients for the sauce.) Add all the ingredients to a small pan Heat the mixture over medium-high heat until it bubbles slightly Continue stirring for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce is well combined and slightly thickened Pour over the sweet potatoes, garnish with parsley, and enjoy! ...
