These past few years, I have become a huge advocate for feeding fresh food to dogs to enhance their lives. However, you don't exactly have to transition your dog to a 100% fresh food diet in order to gain the benefits of fresh food.

Simply adding fresh food to your dog's kibble can go a long way in improving their nutrition and overall health. For instance, one study done a group of dogs in 2005 revealed that feeding vegetables just three times a week had significantly lowered their risk of developing cancer, compared to dogs who were only fed kibble.

Asian markets, in particular, have some very beneficial fresh food items that aren't typically found at your local grocery store. These food items, however, are not intended to fully replace your dog's food. Remember - too much of something good can be bad for you.

Instead, they should be offered in moderation as treats, or just small amounts topped over an already complete and balance meal. As a general rule of thumb, treats/toppers should never make more than 10% of your dog's overall diet.

Bok choy (Chinese cabbage) is full of essential vitamins and minerals needed to support a dog’s eyesight, cardiac function, digestion, bone strength, and immunity. Sulfurophane - a compound found in bok choy and other cruciferous vegetables - has been linked to inhibiting cancer cell growth, lowering blood pressure, and activating the nuclear factor Nrf2 which prevents the development of diabetes and its complications. Bok choy’s low calorie, high fiber content also make it a good option for a snack/food topper for dogs who need to control their weight. 

Preparation: Lightly steam or boil for better nutrient absorption. Cooking will also help neutralize the enzyme (myrosinase) that can decrease thyroid function. You should also chop/trim their long leaves to avoid choking hazards.

Goji berries (wolfberries) are rich in amino acids, carotenoids which support healthy vision, and polyphenols that have anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and cardio-protective properties. Studies on goji berry supplementation in animals have shown that it has the potential to help lower cholesterol, protect the liver by increasing hepatic antioxidant activity, as well as enhance metabolic homeostasis and prevent diabetes-induced renal inflammation. 

Preparation: Remove stems if still attached and cut/mash berries. If dried, soak in water until softened to avoid passing straight through the GI tract and losing the benefits of its nutrients. 

Offal refers to the internal organs and variety meats of animals that can be consumed as food (i.e. lung, heart, kidney, liver, gizzard, head, feet, etc.) The word 'offal' literally translates to "fall off", and thus, whatever falls off the skeleton during the butchering process. Offal is densely loaded with essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fats - so small amounts go a long way. Pet owners who use these as ingredients as part of a complete and balanced recipe should keep in mind that each organ is unique in its nutrient profile - dependent on the animal it is sourced from and how it is raised. For example, grass-fed beef may contain less fat yet more vitamin A and E than grain-fed beef, and beef liver has significantly more vitamin A and copper than chicken liver.

Preparation: Boil in water or low-sodium broth. May also be baked or dehydrated into jerky treats.

Oyster mushrooms are a good source of protein and fiber, and vitamins that support healthy digestion. They can help to increase satiety and maintain healthy body weight. Oyster mushrooms are also full of pantothenic acid which help to maintain cognitive function and healthy skin/coat. Beta-glucans derived from oyster mushrooms have also been shown to reduce inflammation and strengthen immunity. 

Preparation: Lightly sauté or boil in water or low-sodium broth. Raw or dried mushrooms can be difficult for dogs to digest. 

Purple sweet potato (Ube or Okinawan sweet potato) are typically found in grocery stores more commonly during the fall/winter seasons. They contain more antioxidants than regular sweet potatoes due to the anthocyanins that cause their violet hue. While all potato varieties may impact blood sugar levels because of their high carbohydrate content, purple potatoes may exert less of an effect because of their high polyphenol content that decreases the absorption of starches in the intestines. In addition, they have been linked to improving blood pressure, likely due to their high potassium content. 

Preparation: Peel skin and bake until soft for better digestibility and to prevent intestinal blockages. May be boiled and drained to reduce oxalate intake for dogs with a history of bladder stones, or prone to urinary issues. 

Quail eggs are small, yet packed with protein and essential fatty acids, and have a higher ratio of iron, riboflavin, and vitamin b12 than chicken eggs. It is even safe and can be beneficial to feed them with the shells included for added calcium. Quail eggs have been linked to improving bone growth/healing, reducing liver damage, and increasing energy levels. While some studies have shown evidence of quail eggs treating allergies in humans and mice, they may be less likely to trigger reactions than chicken eggs in dogs who have poultry sensitivities.

Preparation: Wash thoroughly, and handle gently as they are more fragile due to their tiny size. Cooking methods are similar to that of chicken eggs, yet require less time. 

Sardines contain all the amino acids your dog needs for optimal health, making it a "complete protein". They are also notorious for being rich in omegas and coenzyme q-10, which help support heart and brain health. What sets sardines apart from other fish, too, is that they are smaller and more short-lived species than larger predator fish and may have less of a risk for mercury poisoning. Because they are so small and have soft bones, you can feed them whole to your pets.

Preparation: Bake or dehydrate. If already purchased as dried, be sure to make sure there is no added salt or seasonings. If canned, preferably those stored in water only.

Sushi rice (Japanese sticky rice) has a high proportion of starch and moisture, giving it a stickier texture when cooked. Sushi rice has virtually zero fat, yet still provides a desirable balance of nutrients while remaining gentle on a dog’s digestive tract. Its higher iron content than regular rice supports healthy blood circulation and can provide more energy to dogs who are recovering from illness. Cooling/refrigerating the rice before serving also enables more retrogradation of prebiotic fiber, helping to lower glycemic responses and maximize intestinal function.

Preparation: Rinse thoroughly and soak in water (with 1tbsp apple cider vinegar - optional) before cooking. If you don’t have a rice cooker or instant pot, boil on the stove until the water is completely absorbed. May be cooked with bone broth for added flavor. You can also use small amounts of beet root powder, turmeric, or blue spirulina to add color and nutrients.

Puking For 2 Weeks Straight!

We had a customer whose digestive problems had gotten so bad, that when she finally tried Revogreen Gut she hadn't been able to keep anything down for 2 weeks.

The doctors were completely baffled. She'd had this problem for years, and it'd just been getting worse and worse.

But after trying Revogreen Gut, she was able to eat within hours and had almost zero issues.

People have been telling us how much this supplement has helped, from chopping down IBS, to reducing stomach bloat, to shrinking waistlines.

Sulforaphane is this amazing compound, found in broccoli microgreens, that reduces inflammation throughout your entire body (especially in the gut). It acts to strengthen the gut lining, and works as a pre-biotic, giving your stomach's good bacteria the nutrients they need.

But we've also paired it up with radish microgreens, for a really important reason. Radish has something called myrosinase (not related to mayonnaise), that helps sulforaphane do its job, essentially amplifying the effects.

Try Revogreen Gut today, if it doesn't give your digestive problems a massive kick in the pants, then we'll happily give you 100% of your money back.

[diindolylmethane2]

Diindolylmethane (DIM) is a naturally occurring compound found in Brassica vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and kale. DIM is currently under investigation as a naturally occurring compound for the prevention and treatment of cancer, infectious diseases (including Covid-19) and immune deficiency conditions due to its potent anti-cancer, immune modulating and anti-inflammatory properties. The compound is formed during the autolytic breakdown of glucobrassicin present in Brassica vegetables. The autolytic breakdown of glucobrassicin requires the catalytic reaction of the enzyme myrosinase which is endogenous to these plants and released upon the breaking of the cell wall of the plant. diindolylmethane (DIM)

Chili Sauce Mustard

Chili sauce mustard is a hot condiment with a strong kick. It can be used to dress up salads, as a marinade for chicken or fish, and more.

It is usually made from a paste of chili peppers mixed with oil and sometimes spices, vinegar or other ingredients. It is widely available in commercial varieties.

Ingredients

Chili sauce mustard is a tangy and spicy condiment made with mayonnaise, French's Classic Yellow Mustard, sriracha, chili garlic sauce and honey. It's an easy way to spice up sandwiches, salads, chicken or beef burgers, fries and more!

In South Asian cuisine, chili (Hindi: mirch) is a key ingredient and comes in many forms. It can be fresh, dried or semi-dried.

Generally speaking, the hotter the chili is, the more intense its flavor will be. This makes them great for eating alone, as a side dish, or on sandwiches and other snacks.

It can also be used to marinate meats, fish, poultry and vegetables prior to grilling or cooking them in the oven. It's also a great addition to a homemade dip for chips, carrots or celery.

In Chinese cuisine, a variety of Chilli pastes are used to enhance the flavor of various dishes. Some are made from a mixture of roasted red peppers, chili flakes or powder and fermented beans. Others are seasoned with herbs or other spices.

Preparation

Chili sauce is a condiment prepared from a paste containing red chili peppers. It can be hot or sweet and may contain sugar. It is used as a dipping sauce or stir-fry ingredient.

It is usually thicker than regular mustard and can be served in many ways. It is also a good way to season meat and poultry dishes after cooking them.

In South Asia, chilies are a crucial spice and have been in use for centuries. There are many different types and strains.

This spicy mustard is great on chicken kabobs, roast beef sandwiches and all your favorite grilled or fried foods that are piled high with protein. It can also be used as a marinade for shrimp, chicken and fish.

It is a simple yet flavorful sauce that can be made quickly and easily. It has a deliciously spicy kick to it, but you can omit the cayenne if you prefer a more mild heat.

Storage

Chili sauce mustard is a versatile condiment that can be used to dress up many different dishes. It pairs well with egg rolls and spring rolls, and is the perfect accompaniment to Chinese takeout appetizers like shrimp balls and baked chicken wontons.

Stored correctly, chili sauce will stay fresh for months and years. But, it does lose some of its potency and spiciness over time.

This is due to a chemical reaction between the enzyme myrosinase in mustard seeds and icy cold water. This reaction gives Chinese mustard its hot, pungent flavor and heat.

Mustard seeds can be stored in airtight containers for up to a year. You can also store ground and powdered mustards for up to six months.

Flavor

Mustard comes in a variety of flavors and types, and is one of the most popular condiments. Typically, mustard is made by grinding dried mustard seeds into a powder and then mixing it with liquids such as vinegar or water.

The mustard can vary in strength, depending on what other ingredients are included in the preparation. It can be sour (vinegar), salty, sweet or spicy.

Yellow mustard is the mildest of the various kinds of mustard, but it can still have a strong flavor. This is because it contains turmeric.

Dijon mustard is a classic French style of yellow mustard with a sharp, spicy flavor that pairs well with vinaigrettes, sandwich spreads and mayonnaise.

Honey mustard is a blend of yellow mustard and honey. It is commonly used on sandwiches and as a dip for finger foods such as chicken fingers.

Hot sauces are a variety of condiments that contain hot peppers and mustards. They utilize the tangy flavor of mustard to balance the pungency of hot peppers.

How Can Sulforaphane Supplements Help Your Health?

Sulfur-rich compound found in cruciferous vegetables such as Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, watercress, broccoli and broccoli sprouts, Sulforaphane is thought to help prevent cancer and fight free radicals as an antioxidant, and studies have shown that sulforaphane has anti-inflammatory and DNA-protective properties. In cruciferous vegetables, the sulforaphane compound is inactive, stored as glucoraphanin and converted to its active form by the enzyme myrosinase. Vegetables must be chopped or chewed for this activation to occur, and since gut bacteria also produce the enzyme myrosinase, cruciferous vegetables interact with them in the digestive tract.

Supplemental forms of sulforaphane are usually in the form of capsules, tablets, or powder. Dietary supplements are often extracted from broccoli sprouts, broccoli seeds or plants. It can be combined with enzymes that let us point out the benefits of taking sulforaphane.

HealthBenefits ofSulforaphane Supplement

Sulforaphane has been extensively studied for its wide range of health benefits. However, more studies are needed to confirm many of these benefits.

Anti-cancer agent

The promising research on sulforaphane may have to do with its potential to fight prostate cancer. Sulforaphane has also been studied for the prevention and treatment of other types of cancer, such as stomach, breast, brain, blood, colon and lung cancer, and is thought to help in many ways, including causing cells to self-destruct (apoptosis).

Cardiovascular health

Studies of sulforaphane's contribution to heart health include its ability to lower cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular disease through its anti-inflammatory properties. We need more evidence regarding

Regulation of blood sugar

Sulforaphane supplements can help regulate blood sugar levels, especially in people with diabetes, as fasting has been shown to lower blood sugar levels in obese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Skin damage

Damage from UV rays can cause skin cancer. Sulforaphane has been shown to increase the body's cellular defences against skin damage caused by UV rays. In one study, researchers used topical application of a sulforaphane-rich extract from broccoli sprouts in mice and humans. This research was limited, and more research is needed to understand sulforaphane's skin protective properties.

Autism

Sulforaphane is used to treat autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and a short trial revealed that the drug improved behaviour. Further research is required to corroborate this hypothesis, but it is considered that the behavioural improvements are connected to sulforaphane's capacity to guard against oxidative stress, inflammation, and DNA damage, which are thought to contribute to the development of ASD.

Brain Health

Sulforaphane has been promoted as a chemical that supports brain health, and some research indicates that it may also enhance memory while delaying the effects of age and brain deterioration. It has also been linked to protecting the brain from oxidative stress that leads to conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Huntington's disease and multiple sclerosis. Other studies have shown that sulforaphane can help nerve cells survive and promote the growth of new nerve cells.

How much is the ideal dosage of sulforaphane supplement

There is no recommendation for the daily intake of sulforaphane, and supplement packages provide a wide range of recommended doses. If you are considering taking a sulforaphane supplement, talk to your doctor or pharmacist to help you make a decision.

Esse gerne Brokkoli und möchte für das Sulforaphan Senfpulver dazu essen. Mir schmeckt das aber mit Brokkoli nicht so. Kann ich einfach nen Teelöffel vor dem Essen "exen" und danach gemütlich den Brokkoli essen damit beides im Magen ist oder bildet sich das Sulforaphan nur wenn man das Senfpulver auf den Brokkoli streut? Tue mich da sowieso schwer 1 Esslöffel Senfpulver auf 1kg Brokkoli so zu verstreuen, dass jedes Rösschen etwas abbekommt.

Du kannst auch Brokkoli-Sprossen oder Kresse verwenden, das hat den gleichen Effekt. Wichtig ist, wie du bereits angesprochen hast, dass der gekochte Brokkoli mit dem Senfpulver oder anderen Myrosinase-Quellen im Magen (oder anderswo) zusammenkommt, damit die enzymatische Reaktion ablaufen kann und Sulforaphan gebildet werden kann.

Und wie zum Geier isst du bittte 1kg Brokkoli auf einmal? :D

Chop up your broccoli 40 mins before cooking! And the science behind it. Chop up your broccoli 40 mins before cooking! And the science behind it.As you may know, I am doing an online course on epigenetics at Stanford this winter.Just learnt a fascinating tip on cooking, and the science behind it, that I must share with everyone.Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and kale contain an excellent nutrient called sulforaphane which helps fight against toxins, inflammation, DNA damage, free radicals and other nasties in your body through the remarkable field of epigenetics, the switches on top of your genes that can turn bad genes off and good genes on. This boosts our defenses against aging, neurodegenerative disease and cancer.Sulforaphane is a nutrigenomic modulator, which modulates the activity of enzymes involved in gene expression. It turns on our detox enzymes, found in both the liver and the lungs. A study in China, where there is terrible air pollution from benzene, showed that people eating one cup of broccoli sprouts per day got rid of 60% more benzene from their bodies.Likewise, sulforaphane gets rid of toxins from tobacco smoke and grilled meat. Important for people who like barbecues!Studies have shown that sulforaphane in broccoli can cut breast cancer risk by a fourth.Also decreases growth of lung and prostate cancer.HOWEVER, a head of broccoli contains NO sulforaphane as it sits there on your kitchen counter. Instead it contains two separated chemicals, the precursor to sulforaphane called glucoraphanin, and an enzyme called myrosinase. When you chop or bite broccoli, the two get together and produce sulforaphane. Myrosinase is destroyed by cooking.Therefore raw broccoli is good, but cooked broccoli contains no sulforaphane. However, if you chop up the broccoli 40 minutes before cooking it, the glucoraphanin and myrosinase get mixed up and sulforaphane is produced, and sulforaphane is heat resistant.Then you can cook your broccoli happily.Frozen broccoli is flash cooked before freezing (to prolong shelf life) which destroys the myrosinase, so no sulforaphane is possible there. You will need to add mustard powder which contains myrosinase to your frozen broccoli to produce sulforaphane. (That tidbit was discovered at the University of Reading.)The other way is to eat broccoli sprouts, very rich in sulforaphane once chewed. You can grow your own. Instructions on the internet.A great side dish to go with your barbecued meat! This information comes from the amazing Professoressa Aronica, research worker at Stanford University.Crossposted on keto and ketoscience

10 Foods Which Will Help You To Maintain a Healthy Blood Sugar

1. Okra

Okra is a fruit that’s commonly utilized like a vegetable. It’s a rich source of blood-sugar-lowering compounds like polysaccharides and flavonoid antioxidants

In Turkey, okra seeds have long been used as a natural remedy to treat diabetes due to their potent blood-sugar-lowering properties (24Trusted Source).

Rhamnogalacturonan, the main polysaccharide in okra, has been identified as a powerful antidiabetic compound. Plus, okra contains the flavonoids isoquercitrin and quercetin 3-O-gentiobioside, which help reduce blood sugar by inhibiting certain enzymes

Although animal studies suggest that okra has powerful antidiabetic properties, human research studies are needed.

2. Chia Seeds

You might have heard that losing or managing weight is one of the best things you can do to improve your blood sugar. Chia seeds can help with that. In one study, people with diabetes who added about an ounce of chia seeds per 1,000 calories day to a calorie-controlled diet for six months shed four pounds and trimmed an inch-and-a-half from their waistlines. Aside from being packed with fiber, these gems also contain protein and provide 18 percent of your recommended daily intake of calcium.

3. Broccoli and broccoli sprouts

Sulforaphane is a type of isothiocyanate that has blood-sugar-reducing properties.

This plant chemical is produced when broccoli is chopped or chewed due to a reaction between a glucosinolate compound called glucoraphanin and the enzyme myrosinase, both of which are concentrated in broccoli (5).

Test-tube, animal, and human studies have shown that sulforaphane-rich broccoli extract has powerful antidiabetic effects, helping enhance insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar and markers of oxidative stress

Broccoli sprouts are concentrated sources of glucosinolates like glucoraphanin, and they’ve been shown to help promote insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes when supplemented as a powder or extract

Additionally, eating cruciferous vegetables has been linked to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes

Keep in mind that the best way to enhance the availability of sulforaphane is to enjoy broccoli and broccoli sprouts raw or lightly steamed, or to add active sources of myrosinase like mustard seed powder to cooked broccoli

4. Apples

You might think that there’s no room in a diabetic meal plan for fruit, but apples are also low glycemic. Aiming for foods like apples that are low or medium on the glycemic index is one way to manage blood sugar levels. And eating an apple a day has its benefits — they are high in fiber, vitamin C as well as fat-free! Not to mention a portable and easy snack option.

5. Berries

Numerous studies have linked berry intake with improved blood sugar control. Berries are loaded with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and they make an excellent choice for people with blood sugar management issues.

A 2019 study found that eating 2 cups (250 grams) of red raspberries with a high carb meal significantly reduced post-meal insulin and blood sugar in adults with prediabetes, compared with a control group

In addition to raspberries, studies have shown that strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries may benefit blood sugar management by enhancing insulin sensitivity and improving glucose clearance from the blood

6. Almonds

These crunchy nuts are rich in magnesium, a mineral that may help your body use its own insulin more effectively. Try adding more almonds into your diet to have your daily dose of this blood sugar-balancing mineral. Plus, nuts like almonds are high in monounsaturated fatty acids, protein, and fiber, which makes them a great way to help manage blood glucose levels.

7. Yogurt

Yoghurt is known because of its active and live cultures which help in the digestive issues by providing good bacteria. Whether you are eating unsweetened yoghurt or one with artificial sugars, it will still fall under low GI foods. However, low-fat yoghurt is recommended. Its glycemic index is 33. Also, it is advisable to consume natural flavoured yoghurt that is free of any type of artificial sweeteners.

8. Coconut

Coconut ranks highly in saturated fats, but if used sparingly, it is not a big threat to your blood glucose levels. Coconuts are used to flavour different types of dishes. Its different parts can be used, be it, coconut milk, coconut flour, its flesh and also coconut water. However, it’s important to know which part you are using to determine the glycemic index as well as nutritional benefits.

9. Apricots

Apricots are sweet and have a delicate flavour. They have a wide range of nutrients and this makes them worthwhile to be added to a diabetic diet. Apricots can help you satisfy your sweet tooth without worrying about your blood sugars due to their low glycemic index. Dried apricots are also a great alternative when eaten in small amounts.

10. Oranges

An orange is an excellent source of pectin, a soluble fiber that has been shown to lower LDL cholesterol levels, Smithson says. Although they’re sweet, oranges are actually low on the glycemic index (GI), according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and have a GL of 4, per Oregon State University.

Do factor in that one orange isn’t exactly a low-carb food, Smithson notes. It contains about 18 g of carbs, plus 72 calories, 1.45 g of protein, and less than 0.2 g of fat, according to the USDA.

Oranges provide other key nutrients, including vitamin C. Opt for the whole fruit instead of juice for more fiber and antioxidants that may help prevent cell damage, Smithson adds, as well as decrease any effect on blood sugar.
