Will Mung beansprouts be the answer?

On a visit to see my husband's neurologist last month we commented to him on how well he was looking.  He is not a well man and suffers himself from neurological problems as well as other things especially allergies.  He told us he had been eating Mung beansprouts for about a month and wasn't sure if his improvement in health was related but it was a big coincidence, he said.

So, we researched them and found that they are supposed to be beneficial healthwise and though why not give it a go.  Nothing to lose except a bit of time and the cost of the beans.

This was the best video I found online on how to grow them.

How to grow Mung beansprouts

I am now on my third batch of growing, here are a couple of pictures of my second batch before I harvested them.  They didn't grow as tall as the one's in the video but they taste great and they were plentiful.  Enough to keep us going until the next batch is ready.

Have we noticed any changes?  Well my husband thinks they are helping with his problems of constipation and I have noticed that I do not get indigestion at all if I have eaten some.

We eat about three small bowlfuls a day usually with or just after meals.

On a not so good note, when my husband was in the hospital the week before last some blood tests showed some liver function tests highly elevated so he has to have an ultra sound on his abdomen on Tuesday.  I might add that he hadn't started on the beansprouts at the time the blood test was done.  The first batch was growing while he was in the hospital.  Hoping it is just a temporary reaction to the plasmatheresis treatments he had.

Will keep you updated.
