Here’s a perfect protein to have available to keep your brain functioning at any time. With the radiation from Japan’s Fukushima catastrophe dispersing in the atmosphere, we have added the seaweeds Nori, Wakame and Kombu as they are iodine-rich and able to support the thyroid. When there is an excess of radiation in the air, the first organ we need to support is our the functioning of our thyroid is controlled by a healthy spleen. bayer products
Another highly-promoted health food is soya. But beware of the labels as the soya bean has to be fermented before the human body can digest it. All that soya milk and those soya substitutes for vegetarian meat type products are really not healthy. I’ve always wondered why people want soya burgers or soya sausages when vegetables can make tasty dishes in their own way without having to be a “meat” substitute. There are amino acids in most fruits, vegetables and grains; it’s simply the way that you combine them that will ensure a good quality protein. So the soya sauce you use in this recipe is the fermented product and how it has always been used in China. syngenta seeds

This is a highly nourishing protein mix which supports the thyroid and helps you maintain energy. Often when people are exhausted they simply lack protein.
Sesame seeds are high in calcium – vitally important for strong bones and healthy teeth. Your body also needs magnesium to help you maintain calcium levels, another reason for fatigue and menstrual or menopausal disorders. You cannot absorb calcium without magnesium. These two minerals are the ‘dynamic duo’ and help support your muscles, including the heart muscle as well as protecting against colon cancer. antracol
Pumpkin seeds are high in zinc and are known to help with prostate disorders and bladder dysfunction. They are anti-inflammatory and a great source of magnesium.
Sunflower seeds are rich in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats as well as contain selenium, copper, zinc, iron, E and B vitamins and high in proteins. They also contain tryptophan (high in chocolate!) which supports the levels of serotonin (feel good factor) in the body. mahyco
I’ve added coconut to the mix because it is also high in iodine and helps to prevent intestinal parasites. Coconut is a great source of Vitamin A, B and C and calcium – a good body builder and useful if you suffer from constipation. madhulika
