Molybdenum


The quality of my health determines how I feel on a day to day basis. Recently, I've been experimenting with legumes, one of earth's richest source of Molybdenum (don't ask me how to pronounce it). In particular, I've been feasting on Organic Japanese Azuki Red Beans. I boil about a handful for about an hour, drain, and mix with Organic Agave Nector, and voila, you get heaven. Koreans call this "paht" and the sweet red bean is used in a variety of dishes. From baked goods to rice cakes to ice desserts (paht bing su), the red bean is used a lot in dishes. So do the Japanese. Just make sure that the sweetness of the red beans does not come from white refined sugar. White refined sugar, as flat out bad for you (more on this in another blog). Legumes are rich in Molybdenum, which helps regulate moodiness. "Moly" is also great for your small and large intestines, not to mention they are bursting with nutrients. I'm no certified nutritionist, but I can tell you that I read up on this stuff a lot. And I believe in it. I'm passionate about it. I love food and I want to feel healthy and great. Load up on legumes as much as you can.

Organic edamame, soybeans, is also a great source of Moly. Edamame also tastes great by itself. If you're worried about gas, I'll be lying if I say that beans don't cause gas. But, gas is a part of the digestion process. If your digestibility and intestines are strong and healthy, then gas shouldn't be a problem or a bother. But if you're finding bloating and gas-related pain, then this is a sign of a weak digestibility and intestines - this calls for another blog entry. As Genesis 1:29 says, God gave us all the plants, herbs, seeds, fruit, for food. Although obeying His commands can be tough at times, this command is certainly one I truly enjoy obeying!
