It Is Nuts To Inhibit Life!

Nuts, Seeds, Beans, Grains and Legumes are in a state of suspended animation or hibernation to put it another way. They are a living entity that is dormant until just the right conditions are met. These conditions will be discussed a little later on. For now we are going to discuss what keeps the seeds, nuts, beans, grains and legumes in this dormant stage. For the rest of this article, we will use the word Nuts for brevity sake to refer to nuts, seeds, beans, grains and legumes. Enzyme inhibitors and other substances are what keep the nuts from germinating into a full grown plant, flower or tree, and lock in all of their potential. This is natures way of producing everything at just the right time. Enzyme inhibitors are mother nature's way of delaying them from sprouting before the next growing season. Without this inhibitor, nuts would not be able to be used at a later time to to grow a plant, flower or tree. Everything would just grow immediately, all the time, or if the conditions were not correct, then nothing would happen and the nut would be wasted and would never be able to create new life. Nature is quite perfect in its design. So what exactly are enzymes and why should I care about enzyme inhibitors anyway?

Enzymes are the physical agents of life. They are protein complexes that are made by our DNA. They are the "Light of Life" and are important for digestion, metabolic, regenerative functions, maintaining proper immune system functionality, detoxification from internal and extenal causes and repairing DNA. It is estimated that there are between 75,000 and 100,000 different enzyme systems in the body. Some call enzyme preservation, The Secret of Life. Pioneers in food enzyme work say that the quantity of enzymes that we have in our systems is equivalent to what we call life energy or vitality, and they believe that it is indicative of our health status. Live-food enzymes have been proven to have an anti-aging and life extension effect as well as anti-degenerative effect. Enzymes work with the cellular structure in the cell nucleus in the cell mitochondria, which are the energy factories in the system. There is an enzyme pool, or reserve, in the body and some enzymes will move freely in the body as they are needed for digestion, or in the serum of the blood, and are carried to different parts of the body. So since enymes are of such vital importance to the body, it is beneficial to protect them so they keep the body operating in a highly efficient and healthy manner.

So the issue comes about when we eat nuts without removing the enzyme inhibitor. By not doing this, and ingesting them, it will inhibit the enzymes already in our body and start causing stresses in the body such as indigestion, metabolism problems, immune system weaking as well as many other things. The more enzymes that get destroyed or inhibited in our body, the more energy or life force we lose and the much harder that the body has to work to maintain itself. If further compromised, we can possibly get sick and diseased. Nuts are so very nutritious and very beneficial to our diet. Even more beneficial is when the nuts are soaked, starting the spouting process. Eating large quantities of nuts that have not been soaked, sprouted or fermented can lead to mineral deficiencies, bone loss, digestive illness, allergies, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and mental illness.

Soaking is one of the ways to remove or release the enzyme inhibitor and phytic acid. Phytic acid is present in the bran or hulls of all seeds. It's a substance that can block the uptake of essential minerals - calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and especially zinc - in the intestinal tract. Soaking them, activates the proteases, which neutralize the enzyme inhibitors and phytic acid. By doing this, not only is the enzyme inhibitor washed away, since it is water soluble, but the enzyme content increases by six to twenty times. Plant hormones are activated and starches are broken down and proteins predigested. Vitamins and minneral content increase tremendously. Vitamin B6 is increased by 500 percent, B5 by 200 percent, B2 by 1300 percent, biotin by 50 percent and folic acid by 600 percent. These nuts now have the capacity to generate a totally new organism. It is the life force of these foods that is transferred to people and aids their healing and regeneration. By continuing to water them for up to a week, will fully sprout the seeds. Yet for this process, just the soaking is enough to release the enzyme inhibitor and start the process of life.

Soaking nuts in warm water, in an acid medium, or both, will greatly enhance the nutrition of this valuable food. Soak the seeds from 8 to 24 hours, depending on the hardness of the nut. Since the soak water will contain the enzyme inhibitors, and is very acidic to the body, please be sure to rinse your nuts well after soaking. It is vitally important to rinse them at least once (preferably twice) a day with fresh water, draining the water each time. So we know that soaking and sprouting are 2 ways to release the enzyme inhibitor. A third way to do so is natural fermentation. There is also a process called sour leavening which is another option mainly for baking products.

So by doing these processes to release the enzyme inhibitor, you are releasing the full potential of life. As you know, you are what you eat, you will now take in these beneficial enzymes and release your full potential. This will allow you vital energy to increase instead of decrease. The more that you do to increase your frequency and energy, the more of your higher potential you can embody and grow into. It is best to protect the enzymes in the nut and most importantly in you.
