First, going to a more vegetarian diet (and eliminating all processed foods and refined carbs)is a great idea for cleansing the bioterrain and alkalyzing the body.
However, most leading authorities on natural health agree that a strict vegan diet is not a good strategy for long term health. At some point it is a good idea to reintroduce small amounts of organic meats into your diet.
Secondly, brussels sprouts are a great source of many nutrients including sulfur containing amino acids like cysteine, but they are also high in purines. Purines can promote a buildup of uric acid in the blood, so for those who are prone to gout, brussels sprouts are a no-no.
Thanks again for your encouragement. Best wishes to all for a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
Blessings,
John |
