My little radish sprouts are ready to eat soon! Planted them a week ago and here they are! Sprouting is such an easy way to add more greens to your diet. Choose those that work for your blood type. Place some organic potting soil a container. Sprinkle the seeds on top and pressure them down so they have a good contact with the soil. Spray some water on top and close the lid loosely. Place in a dark place for three days for the seeds to germinate. Then place the container near a window to expose the leaves to the sun. They will turn from slightly yellow to green. After about a week, the sprouts are ready to eat. Sprinkle them in your salad or put them in your sandwich. Enjoy!
Every bite counts. Check out how my food choices evolved over the past 3 decades and how they literally shaped my body.
Change that is lasting and powerful begins with one small step. This is embodied in the Japanese concept of "Kaizen" 改善. These kanji characters (same in Chinese) literally mean "change for the better." This is a technique used in business management, but we can apply the spirit to other aspects of our life.

Happy May Day! It's a beautiful day and perfect for gardening. Today I attended a class named "Seed to Supper": A Beginner's Guide to Low-Cost Vegetable Gardening. Master Gardeners from the Cornell University Cooperative Extensive came out to the community garden where I rented a plot, and gave us an overview of some basic agricultural knowledge. The topics included soil composition, composting, how to plant seeds with the right spacing, thinning, container gardening, microgreens, etc. There is so much to learn as a novice and I am excited to apply that knowledge on my farming "experiment" this year.
DO YOU AGREE? -- The fact that the health "industry" uses recipes and meal plans as a main tool to attract clients makes the whole thing deceptive, because it gives the impression that that is all that's needed to get people healthier (and I am guilty as charged in my previous attempts to do so because I didn't know better then). I believe that knowing what food to eat isn't enough to achieve brilliant health, and that recipes or meal plans is just a superficial quick fix. If people don't do the work and dig inside to find out what it is that stops them from making a commitment to transform their own health, they will forever be plagued by procrastination, lack of commitment and action. In addition, if psychological components aren't addressed, people can easily go back to emotional eating.
