Essential Lifestyle At GlyCop Co-op!
All The Essentials: Chia Seed Meal, Hemp Seed Nuts, Glyconutrients and Sprouted Grain supply the highest vegetarian source of essential fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, chlorophyll, and a complete, balanced gluten-free source of the essential amino acids. Chia, Hemp and Glyconutrients are all part of a *”Healthful Hardware Plan” providing nutrition that you can feel!
Our lifestyles, diet and environment can change the way our genes are expressed, leading even identical twins to become distinct as they age. The nutritional reasons for this change are closely being studied by scientists specializing in Epigenetics and Nutrigenomics. The prospective analysis among nutrients in the regulation of gene expression is a very hot topic and new discoveries are being realized at a rapid rate.
Human mitochondrial genetics is the study of the genetics of the DNA contained in human mitochondria. Mitochondria are small structures in cells that generate energy for the cell to use, and are hence referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell.
Researchers have taken a step forward in understanding the fundamental building blocks of life. Understanding the carbohydrate structures in cells is leading to new understanding of inflammatory illnesses and how disease develops in humans. Scientists need a far more detailed picture of these structures and the highly complex interactions between glycans, enzymes, genes and proteins, all of which can influence the development of disease.
The symbiotic relationship between mammals and bacteria begins quite early and becomes critical in every stage of life. There are many published examples of very specific nutrients affecting human development in our education area.
We now know that DNA is not our destiny and science has proven that nutrition (epigentics) plays a major role in gene expression and how genes make proteins. A simple change in lifestyle may be the most important decision we can make in our lifetime. Please consult with your health care professional when making changes to your Lifestyle.
Essential LifeStyle: Simply replace most of your cereal or smoothie with the following after consulting with your health professional.
-
Chia Seed Meal: A couple heaping teaspoons supplies fiber, proteins, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids.
-
Hemp Seed Nuts: A couple heaping teaspoons supplies important proteins, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids.
-
Glyconutrients: As little as ½ teaspoon supplies essential monosaccharides, antioxidants and phytonutrients.
-
Sprouted Grain Bread: Replaces the damaging compounds found in commercial breads with vital proteins and vitamins.
A good pro-biotic such as BioBeads® is highly recommended. Please call or email us if you have any comments, questions or suggestions about the Essential Lifestyle at GlyCop Co-op.
Sprouted Whole Grain Flourless Bread at your local health food store from Food For Life!
Sprouted Bread Grain is a 2,500 year old prodigy made from six certified organic grains and legumes, sprouted in filtered water with a touch of organic malted barley and sea salt.
Food for Life has been serving high quality sprouted grain bread and all-natural baked goods for over 40 years at http://www.foodforlife.com/
The process of germination changes the composition of grain and seeds in numerous ways. Sprouting increases vitamin content and it provides a superior quality protein that closely parallels the protein found in milk and eggs. Sprouting neutralizes phyticacid – a substance present in grains – that inhibits absorption of nutrients and more important Sprouting neutralizes or "predigests" if you will, grains through enzymatic activity. The enzymes produced during our natural sprouting process "in effect" breaks down amino acid protein bonds to promote digestibility of the entire grain. Please visit the Food For Life website for more information, or feel free to call us at GlyCop if you have any questions.
The Good
DNA is not our destiny. Nutrition plays a vital role in the expression of our genes and how our body builds essential glycoproteins, glycolipids, hormones and enzymes. Hemp and Chia seeds are just as unique as glyconutrients in supplying nutrients that are not readily available from other sources. Quite frankly, it is our mission at GlyCop to tell it like it is and get things done. Nutrition is not "Rocket Science" and we thank you for your continued support!
The Bad
Sprouted grain bread has numerous advantages over "enriched" wheat flour breads. Many commercial breads are made from the endosperm of the wheat kernel (the inside portion), which contains primarily carbohydrates and few vitamins and minerals. The milling of grain into white flour requires the removal of the bran and the germ. This results in the loss of natural fiber, bran, 22 vitamins and minerals. To compensate, five vitamins and minerals (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, iron and folic acid) are added back in, "enriching" the flour. Sometimes calcium is added back as well.
The Ugly
Simply put, commercial breads are full of soy products, high fructose corn syrup and additives that science has proven cause serious problems for the general population. The sad truth is that we need to make extensive changes in our diets just to combat the ill effects of poorly processed foods, fortified grains and the damage already done. Godspeed.
