Sprouting increases nutrient levels in grains, legumes, vegetables, nuts or seeds. Sprouts also contain lower levels of antinutrients, making it easier for your body to absorb all the nutrients they contain. Sharon, with 'Food Nerd' walks us through the process of sprouting and the benefits to your health. She created a product called Food Nerd that we will hear about as well that includes products with fruits, vegetables, and superfoods - and never any artificial or animal based ingredients. "We are always working with nature to provide you with all in one, plant based nourishment. Our goal is to make superfoods more convenient and accessible for you! Chia pudding is the underappreciated baby sister of overnight oats. Chia is a great source of omega 3 fatty acids, calcium, iron, and fiber. The soluble fiber of the chia soaks up water and the seed swells and becomes gelatinous (similar to flax seeds). This texture is incredible for creating delicious, healthy "puddings" that our taste buds, and our gut love!"

The neighborhood where the house is located in East Amherst, NY is 50% Green Space and the first Certified Green Neighborhood in NYS. It is Energy Star "Green" certified w/Geothermal Heat & Solar Power equals LOW or NO utility bills! Geothermal systems function because of the Earth's natural heat resources. The ground will absorb about 50% of the Sun's energy and is then naturally absorbed into the pipes underground, which are about 8' below where the Earths temperature is always about 50 degrees. The Sun heats the Earth. This heat is transferred to water-filled underground pipes I took a tour of the home and the neighborhood and was quite impressed.

It is hard to navigate through the options and understand sunscreens and avoiding the most toxic ones. We also have a store on Amazon where you can find the ones we recommend.
