At Rejuvena Health & Aesthetics, we focus on the whole body: not just your looks or your health, but the entire package. Your appearance is a direct reflection of what’s going on beneath the surface, and the healthier you are, the better you’ll look. While some believe that a health issue requires only a visit to a physician and an aesthetic treatment can only be booked at a med spa, Rejuvena believes that total body wellness encompasses both the inside and the outside, thus our revolutionary integrative approach includes all aspects of both naturopathic and aesthetic medicine. Using the latest regenerative medicine techniques to resolve pain, enhance tissue and wrinkle repair, customized diet plans, organic whole food based supplements and detoxification therapies we strive to make you look and feel the best that you can.

1. SPROUTED FOODS: A NUTRITIONAL POWERHOUSE
Posted on July 8, 2008
Sprouts may look tiny and unassuming, but these little plant powerhouses pack a big nutritional punch! They’re a
reliable year-round source of essential vitamins, they’re easy to grow, versatile, and inexpensive, and they’re a
fabulous way to incorporate raw foods into your diet.
The science behind it is simple: dry grains, beans and seeds, though rich in protein, are not very high in vitamin
content and not as easy for the body to digest. But sprouting turns them into living foods, increasing their vitamin
content exponentially and making them more easily digestible. Sprouted foods are at their peak nutritionally, and
contain valuable enzymes, minerals, and antioxidants in addition to their abundant vitamins. Even people with food
sensitivities – such as wheat – tend to find that their digestive systems are able to handle the offending food when it’s
in sprouted form. Sprouts are full of fiber and help to keep you full, and their balance of protein and carbohydrate
content helps to keep your blood sugar stabilized, so they’re a great dietary tool for the maintenance of healthy
weight.
Sprouts can add a surprisingly delicious twist to your food, or can be eaten all by themselves. There are an
abundance of varieties available, each with its own distinct texture and flavor, all nutritionally complete – alfalfa, mung
bean, quinoa, sunflower, broccoli, wheat … the list goes on and on. They’re simple, fun, and quick to grow, whether
you use a pot of dirt or an inexpensive sprouter (specially designed containers made to grow larger amounts of
sprouts). And when it’s wintertime and the produce at your local grocery store leaves much to be desired, you’ll have
all the whole food energy you need – right in your own home.
