Summary:
We call them biodynamic because they can keep you healthy and young looking, and add years of happiness to your Iife.
These super-foods contain large amounts of natural vitamins, enzymes, rare amino acids, minerals and indispensable oligo-elements, all in their proper proportions, as well as chemical "unknowns' - substances which are not yet fully understood.
The 5 biodynamic foods are: wheat germ and sprouted wheat, brewer's yeast, parsley, yogurt and bee pollen.
Most of the precious and energising substances in wheat kernels are accumulated in the germ.
a large number of vitamins, especially Vitamins A, B1, B2, E and PP.
Because of its composition, wheat germ constitutes one of the best natural sources of iron, magnesium, rare proteins and Vitamins B and E. The only vitamin lacking in large proportion is Vitamin C.
This food helps balance the system in times of stress, when you are overworked, during convalescence, pregnancy and breastfeeding, or if you suffer from anemia.
intestinal functions and acts as a tonic on the nervous and digestive systems.
Its only drawback is that it is not sufficiently rich in calcium in relation to its high phosphorous content, and its only contra indication is in cases of high blood pressure, since it is a mild stimulant.
Infants 6 months to a year old: 2 small teaspoons, in 2 or 3 servings is sufficient.
It is possible to increase the dosage, depending on the physiology of the individual.
The tonic and energizing properties of wheat germ are multiplied when the germ is sprouted.
This is because the process of germination increases the vitamin and enzyme content of wheat germ.
Persons suffering from severe rheumatism, gout or arthritis often have trouble tolerating whole wheat bread.
Sprouted wheat, on the other hand, presents no inconvenience whatsoever.
Place your wheat seeds in a plate and cover them with water so that they swell.
Seeds should sprout in 24 hours in summer, and 36 hours in winter.
After they have sprouted, rinse them in fresh water a number of times.
To prevent the sprouts from rotting, spray them with a small amount of water every few hours (not enough to form a pool of water in the container).
Too much water will cause the sprouts to go bad.
1 level teaspoon for children and elderly persons Chew the sprouts as long as possible before swallowing, until they become sweet in your mouth.
The sweet taste is caused by the partial transformation of starch into sugar.
Persons with bad teeth can grind the sprouts up in a bowl first, and then eat the mash, chewing as long as possible.
Sprouts can be mixed with a little honey and pureed for sick persons, infants and very young children.
Make sure to wash the seeds you buy thoroughly before sprouting them, since they are often treated with chemical pesticides and disinfecting agents.
Whenever possible, get organic wheat seeds straight from a farm.
Brewer's yeast is even more biodynamically effective than wheat germ.
No other food contains as many important and rare nutritive substances, in perfect combinations, and easy to assimilate.
Brewer's yeast is a more effective way to supplement your grain intake than either dairy products or meat.
After being irradiated, brewer's yeast is four times more effective than cod liver oil for combating rickets.
Note that lactic yeast is the only form which contains Vitamin C.
20 times more follic acid than wheat bran.
Adults should mix 1 or 2 tablespoons (1 or 2 teaspoons for children and adolescents) into soups or salads at each meal.
Because of its role in protecting the liver, brewer's yeast is also particularly beneficial for persons in the early stages of cirrhosis and hepatic steatosis (degeneration of fatty tissue in the liver).
It has also proven effective for persons suffering from extreme malnutrition or chronic weight loss, as well as for patients being fed through catheters.
Finally it has a beneficial effect on the skin and hair, and some researchers claim it even protects against cancer.
Yeast taken this way proliferates in the intestines, inhibiting the spread of a number of pathogenic bacteria such as staphylococcus, streptococcus and colibacillus.
