Nature’s Delicacies Microgreens introduce a new concept of “delicacies” according to God’s design in Genesis 1:29. Microgreens and other plants are designed to provide vitalizing properties, making them “Nature’s Delicacies”. Recent studies on Blue Zone centenarians provide additional evidence that a plant-based diet and regular physical activity can increase vitality and longevity. Even at 100 years and above, these populations continue to live active lifestyles. (Source: Buettner, Dan. (2008), The Blue Zones: National Geographic.)
It is widely known that a large part of the food consumed by Americans is highly processed and lacks nutritional value. During the processing of these foods, natural nutrients are often removed and harmful chemicals like sugar, salt, and fats are added. These added chemicals can cause people to crave more of these harmful foods. With the convenience of ordering in and dining out, many families have fallen into a lifestyle of eating high-fat, low-fiber, and low-nutrient-dense foods. Their palates have become accustomed to the taste, texture, and chemicals of processed foods, making it difficult for them to enjoy whole foods. Additionally, many individuals don’t eat fresh fruits and vegetables and are unaware of the various types available, especially in food desert communities where access to healthy foods is limited. Fast food restaurants, liquor stores, and smoke shops are often more accessible than wholesome food in these communities, resulting in health issues like heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain types of cancer. Research has shown that a plant-based diet can reduce these health risks and, in some cases, reverse diseases.
