Planting the Seed of Life

When we want to grow things we plant a seed.  Ironically this is what women and men attempting to enhance their fertility should do as well.  Seeds strengthen Kidney Jing or rather enhance fertility.  It's easy to incorporate all types of seeds into your diet.  Here are some easy and fun ideas to start today!

Black sesame seeds are potent and should be added to breads, muffins, stir frys and grilled foods

Sunflower seeds are best as a snack or on top salads

Pumpkin seeds surging with zinc should be consumed by both men and women but have proven to have a positive impact on sperm- these are best toasted lightly with sea salt and eat as an evening snack or sprinkled on squash soup

Get creative!  For more fabulous recipes with seeds buy the cookbook in our office or on-line Whole Foods Nutrition Cookbook- you will love it!
