Frequently Asked Questions
Why soak and sprout grains and legumes?
Soaking and sprouting reduces phytic acid that blocks mineral absorption. It breaks down enzyme inhibitors improving digestion. The process increases vitamin content and makes proteins more bioavailable.
Better nutrient absorption from properly prepared foods enhances your body’s response to chiropractic care.
How long should different foods soak?
Nuts need 8-12 hours, beans require 12-24 hours, and grains need 7-12 hours soaking. Add acidic medium like lemon juice or vinegar. Change water for longer soaking times. Refrigerate if soaking over 12 hours.
Proper food preparation reduces digestive stress, allowing your body to focus energy on healing and maintaining spinal corrections.
Do sprouted foods really make a difference?
Yes, sprouting increases vitamin C by 600%, B vitamins significantly increase, and antioxidants multiply. Sprouted grains have lower glycemic impact. Many people with sensitivities tolerate sprouted versions better.
Optimal nutrition through traditional food preparation supports the healing process initiated by chiropractic adjustments.
