Get maximum benefit from your Hemp Hearts

Human tissues require nourishment every morning with slow digesting proteins, omega fats and raw, long fiber foods containing vitamins and enzymes--essential nutrients--not starch, sugar and blended, processed foods. Those who consume most of their essential nutrients each morning have all day to utilize any possible excess and can control weight easily.

Digestive systems function best with raw, unprocessed foods that release nutrients slowly and continuously.

The long fibers in raw, unprocessed foods remain intact to tie wastes together so they are able to move with contractions through the digestive system. Those who consume Hemp Hearts with long fiber foods normally expel wastes after every meal.

Those without excess weight who wish to "turbo-charge" themselves for amazing productivity and those who need to rebuild their bodies after serious illness can consume Hemp Hearts  again in the afternoon. 

Those who change to Hemp Hearts and long fiber foods, but who do not strictly avoid starches, may sometimes experience gas and watery stools as liquefied, incompletely digested starches are swept through the digestive system by faster moving Hemp Hearts and long fiber foods.

Those who eat significant amounts of sugar, starch and processed foods inevitably become obese--or they cheat themselves of essential nutrients, causing progressive tissue health failure. Insufficient essential nutrients initially cause dry hair and skin, eczema and psoriasis. Later it may also cause arthritis and prostate inflammation. Insufficient essential nutrients eventually cause veins and arteries to lose their elasticity: Unable to expand and contract with each heartbeat, hardened blood vessels do not assist the heart with circulation or keep themselves clean. Deteriorating blood vessels increase the possibility of stroke, aneurysm and heart disease and eventually result in premature health failure.

 
To get optimum benefit from your Hemp Hearts™, it is recommended that you consume them in the morning with, or as your morning meal. Here are some of
the most popular ways many of our customers are taking their Hemp Hearts™:
  • Sprinkle them on your oatmeal or mix them into your cereal at breakfast.
  • Mix them in with your fruit salad or in your yogurt at breakfast.
  • If you have a protein shake as your morning meal, blend your Hemp Hearts™ in with your shake.
  • Blend them in with your Hemp Oil to make a nice tasty salad dressing.

  • Some of our customers eat them straight from the spoon.

  • Spread them over your morning toast.

  • Sprinkle them into your salad.

  • Incorporate them into your home baking.

  • Our recommended minimum daily intake of Hemp Hearts is a 52 grams
    (5 heaping tablespoons) serving. Larger individuals or those suffering with chronic health conditions such as arthritis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cardio vascular disease, acne, eczema, psoriasis, diabetes, circulation problems, intestinal problems, constipation, obesity or prostate problems (to name a few) may want to consider taking 55 grams (5 to 6 heaping tablespoons) a day.

  • Take at least most of your daily intake of Hemp Hearts first thing in the morning. This helps reduce cravings for sweets and carbohydrates throughout the rest of your day. In addition, efforts to reduce if not eliminate foods that contain sugars, starches, flour, pasta, potatoes and rice from your daily diet will drastically improve your benefits from Hemp Hearts.

  • Reducing or eliminating these unnecessary and unhealthy foods from your diet and replacing them with Hemp Hearts, a perfect and natural blend of proteins, essential fats (Omega 3 & 6), vitamins, calcium and enzymes, is a great first step in your journey to improved health and quality of life.

Chicken poaching spices:

  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder (1 clove fresh)
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper

In large saucepan: Poach chicken breasts in water, add poaching spices and cook on medium heat, turning chicken over once or twice, for 20 -25 min. Do NOT boil or over cook! (Chicken will be tough). Let chicken sit in broth for 10 min. more to ensure it is cooked through. Remove chicken from pan; place in dish to cool in the fridge 2-3 hours. Strain broth with sieve; place in a sealed container for use another time.

Meanwhile-Heat oven to 325, place walnuts in pie tin or dish and roast for 5-6 min. DO NOT OVER COOK! Let cool 10-15 min. Break into small pieces, enough for 3/4 cup.

After chicken has cooled, cube chicken. In large bowl, with wooden spoon, gently m ix together remaining salad ingredients chill at least 1 hour before serving.

Tips:
Use a sharp knife or it chicken will come out shredded. Add Mayo AFTER adding hemp oil, and then add Mayo. You will be surprised how much the chicken absorbs the hemp oil and Mayo, especially overnight. I usually add ¼ more hemp oil the next day. Suit yourself.
