Popular Post sidjameson Posted December 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2023 For those of us worried about the effects of air pollution on our lungs some amazing evidence that eating broccoli sprouts which take just two to four days to grow from seed so boost the immune system in the nose that pm25 particles don't get thru. Anybody growing them? I really hope they grow in Thailand. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good filtration of pm 2.5 when out and about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidjameson Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 Yes yes, I expected ridicule. This Off to China, where “levels of outdoor air pollution…are among the highest in the world.” By day one, those getting broccoli sprouts were able to get rid of 60 percent more benzene from their bodies. “The key finding…was the observed rapid and highly durable elevation of the detoxification of… a known human carcinogen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gecko123 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Eat a lot of sprouts during cool season. Tried broccoli sprouts a few times, but a lot of problems with insects. Collard sprout and tomato salad with honey mustard dressing. Fak tong blossom, carrot, daikon radish sprout salad Red leaf and cilantro sprout salad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a pity that this topic has been moved to farming forum. I wanted the widest readership because this could potentially save lives. Keyword "Growing" = Farming or Plants/Pets forum. Try "Health Benefits of ..." or something like that next time. In any case, we all would like a quick fix, a single 'superfood' that makes health and immunity from harm a simple matter. But in fact achieving health comes from a comprehensive wellness program with many factors to consider. Even the linked article, even though focused on broccoli sprouts as a superfood, points out that public policy and genetics are also important factors in the defense against pollution. Personally I don't like broccoli, but I have some other cruciferous foods and 'superfoods' that I consume, home grown organic high-nutrient-density fruits and veggies, spirulina, moringa, wheat grass, matcha green tea, cloves, and a lesser known 'superfood' - fulvic acid (https://www.manalifelab.com/wu-jin-san), as well as an omnivore diet with minimal added sugar, no maltodextrin, low carbohydrate diet, has helped me maintain health into old-age, along with exercise and qigong, hiking, mtbiking and outdoor work. I apply the same 'wellness', preventive approach to the work I do with plants, crops, and landscape turf and ornamentals. No one product or practice fits all, but what works is a comprehensive program considering the growing conditions, soil and water management, species selection for the right plant - right place, integrated and compatible plantings, appropriate irrigation, minimal tillage, mulching, shading of soil surface, cover cropping where possbile, Integrated Pest Management, biologicals for soil and plant health and avoidance of detrimental products and practices like high NPK chemical fertilizers and pesticides as much as possible.
