so we’re back again to show you an update on the hydroponic growing in my basement come on in looks let’s take a look so as you can see they have done some growing check this out last time it was way down here now it’s all up here and probably about three weeks I would say so again to recap hydroponic is growing things in a soilless medium so we grow in these rocks right here and all we do is we take this tub of water with one cup of minerals that’s all diluted by a 55 gallon bucket of water and it cycles through this thing every so often and it combines with this light to make vitamins so when you have minerals convert it into the plant that you you could you hit the photosynthesis light it converts into vitamin so so the question is this why can’t we just drink this take all these vitamins and call it a day why do we have to spend all this time growing these during plants so we have to eat these well this is because our bodies do not absorb rocks directly they need to be we need a vo between the rock and our intestinal tract and this is the via we need a plant to convert these rocks these rocks here break them down into small particles I can absorb in our body so that’s why we need it 99% of all vitamins sold are synthetic which is not the same thing coming from plant and most people don’t know it and also there are a lot of people are taking vitamins that are basically are made of rocks like calcium carbonate for example I wouldn’t recommend consuming that because you’re eating rocks what we want to do is consume plant-based minerals and vitamins because that’s the way that we absorb them in our bodies okay so the unique thing about these plants is that certain plants absorb nutrients differently for example tomato plant makes about a thousand milligrams of vitamin A per cup and we have the lettuce leaf right here or right here makes about 2,000 mil internet units of vitamin A perk up but the kale this kale here and if you can see this came out right here I’m growing is very amazing because it makes thirty five thousand international units of vitamin A per cup so ten times the nutrition so it’s fascinating that seeds absorb different nutrients differently so that’s why you want to consume certain vegetables versus other vegetables you don’t want to just consume iceberg lettuce for example the cruciferous family of vegetables contain another unique thing called phytonutrients those are plant-based compounds that have additional unique benefits the drug companies even isolate certain compounds in the cruciferous and other plants to make certain things that shrink tumors that are triggered by viruses decreased blood pressure repair DNA and many many other things so phytonutrients have the capacity of dismantling pesticides insecticides herbicides fungicides and their liver through their enzyme so they’re very fascinating now the FDA states that we can’t make any health plans at this time because we’re not enough evidence so that was my disclaimer I’m not telling you that you can consume kale get rid of your cancer but there’s a lot of research going on right now that on those topics okay so what I want to do right now is show you a new shake that I’ve developed using mango which has amazing health properties which is in an offset to kale kale strawberry blueberry and an oat extract without all the carbohydrate so let’s go upstairs and make that right now I’ll show you how it how it works so we’re back up here and let me just show you this new channel recipe to recipe that I have you’re going to take organic camp Organic mango okay which is very high in certain nutrients a lot of nutrients that help the support of healthy prostate and also helps that there’s certain shows that it helps to reduce facial hair in female cells if a lot of good stuff and blueberries are very high on and phytonutrients from many different levels because the pigment is soup Dartmouth has certain things that help the eye and the heart okay then we have strawberries very high in vitamin C and very high in iodine so we’re going to mix all this together we’re gonna add this thing called neutral neutral is an oat extract which they found that when you concentrate something called beta glucan and that would be the part of the oat that helps lower cholesterol you can create a real great change in balancing cholesterol levels so that nutria ms oats that they take out the starch they take up the fiber and they concentrate this beta glucan we’re going to put a teaspoon and that shake simply because it’s going to be very good on the liver and just put some of that in here and it’s low glycemic okay you’re gonna put the Kalin right here stuff it in there pretty good stem everything okay we’re gonna put the mango and strawberry and blueberries okay well that’s a bad expression icing on the cake so I will put a natural icing on the cake so we’re going to mix the water in there okay and then we are going to blend it okay okay so I had it blend it for about three minutes if you don’t blend it enough gonna be it all chunky let’s see this thing tastes like that is really really good and for those of you that want it more convenient I actually finally have my organic kale shake and this is a premium that means it’s a hundred percent organic when things are said that organic that means they’re 80 percent organic you have to say a 100 percent organic at all this organic so this is where again a mango organic blueberry organic strawberry and kale all mixed with no extra anything and has written a new trim which is the day that glue can concentrate but it’s good for convenience gonna bring it to work what you do is you take this out and make sure you put a half of a scooper not the whole thing in a glass of water and drink that up it tastes great it’s very natural I have people that are no longer having any crazy so definitely if you want to check this out if you want to get one
