Clover or trefoil are common names for plants of the genus Trifolium (Latin, tres 'three' + folium 'leaf'), consisting of about 300 species of flowering plants in the legume or pea family Fabaceae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution with highest diversity in the temperate Northern Hemisphere, but many species also occur in South America and Africa, including at high altitudes on mountains in the tropics. They are small annual, biennial, or short-lived perennial herbaceous plants. Clover can ...

What to watch out for

What-to-watch-out-for_8_0

Sprouts are very rich in nutrients. They can be consumed raw or lightly cooked, in salads and sandwiches. Therefore, it is important to wash the seeds as thoroughly as possible, as there is a risk of contamination with bacteria (e.g. E. coli and Salmonella) or parasites, which can make the consumption of raw sprouts dangerous.

What-to-watch-out-for_8_1

When ingesting contaminated sprouts, the first symptoms appear after 12 to 72 hours: diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain.

What-to-watch-out-for_8_2

This can be particularly dangerous for children, immunocompromised people, older people and pregnant women. It is recommended that they avoid consuming raw sprouts or sprouts at all.

How to prepare sprouts at home

How-to-prepare-sprouts-at-home_9_0

You need a large jar, a lid with holes, or gauze and an elastic band, instead of a lid. First, the seeds are soaked in cool water for several hours, depending on their type (most often 8 hours, but sesame and sunflower are soaked for 1 hour only). [<a href="https://wholefully.com/sprouting-101/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ref.3</a>]

How-to-prepare-sprouts-at-home_9_1

Then the water is drained, the seeds are rinsed with fresh cool water, which is also drained away. Drain the seeds well, and the jar can be placed with the lid down and tilted to drain.

How-to-prepare-sprouts-at-home_9_2

This rinsing and draining is repeated twice each day, until the desired length of the sprouts is reached.

How-to-prepare-sprouts-at-home_9_3

How-to-prepare-sprouts-at-home_9_4

It is not needed to put the jar in direct sunlight or in the dark.

How-to-prepare-sprouts-at-home_9_5

When ready, rinse the sprouts one last time and distribute them on a paper tissue to dry. Otherwise, moisture will lead to their moulding. Then the sprouts can be stored for 2-3 days to 1 week in a box, paved with a clean cloth or paper against moisture retention.

How-to-prepare-sprouts-at-home_9_6

If the sprouts develop mold, don't eat them! Discard them and try again.

Q&amp;A

Q&amp;A_10_0

Do I need a special device or a machine to always have fresh sprouts at home?

Q&amp;A_10_1

As we described above, the process of producing sprouts at home is very easy and you do not need a special appliance or machine for this purpose. However, various appliances are available on the market which require compliance with the same steps - soaking the seeds and watering them with water twice a day or according to the indication. These appliances are also called a sprouting machine or system.

Q&amp;A_10_2

Where to buy sprouting seeds from?

Q&amp;A_10_3

You can buy seeds for germination from specialized seed stores, explicitly telling them for what purpose you buy the seeds (for germination and consumption of raw sprouts) or you can simply buy seeds and nuts from the local store (from here you can buy raw sunflower, almonds and much more).

Q&amp;A_10_4

Are there any special jars for germination, or can I use whatever I have?

Q&amp;A_10_5

Although you can safely use the jars available at home, special jars for the production of sprouts are also sold on the market. They have a suitable for draining cap, as well as a special stand to keep the jar in a position for better draining, while allowing proper airing of seeds and sprouts.

Menopause is a difficult period that occurs in every woman's life, and when this happens, she needs help dealing with unpleasant symptoms and a lot of support and understanding from loved ones.

The average age at which menopause occurs is 50 years. Its onset is associated with a dramatic change in hormonal balance, a decrease in estrogen and an increase in hormones FSH and LH, which eventually leads to a decrease in the levelof progesterone and causes permanent amenorrhea or, in other words, an end to menstrual cycles.

In two-thirds of women, specific symptoms are observed. The most characteristic symptoms of menopause or menopausal syndrome are vasomotor: hot flushes and night sweats, as well as psychosomatic symptoms, which are observed differently in people with different psychological, social and cultural characteristics.

What-are-the-first-symptoms-of-menopause_0_1

Hot flushes are presented as periodic redness of the face and sudden sweating with chills, palpitations, anxiety, a feeling of pressure in the head and chest, nausea, suffocation and lack of concentration, which usually lasts from a few seconds to a minute and rarely lasts up to an hour.

Hormone therapy is one of the most effective treatments for reducing vasomotor symptoms (hot flushes and sweating) and for treating other complications associated with menopause. However, hormone therapy has been shown to cause an increased risk of breast cancer and coronary heart disease, as well as pulmonary embolism. For women at increased risk of breast cancer, hormone therapy is contraindicated.

What-are-the-first-symptoms-of-menopause_0_12

This is the reason why most women do not resort to hormone replacement therapy, but prefer herbs and dietary supplements to deal with symptoms until this period passes away.

The market is flooded with products that promise help to alleviate the symptoms of menopause, and this can be very confusing - what to choose and is there any scientific evidence behind the claims that one or another supplement can really help you. So we decided to write this article, presenting in it the herbs for which there is such evidence.

What are the mechanisms behind herbs ability to alleviate the symptoms of menopause

What-are-the-mechanisms-behind-herbs-ability-to-alleviate-the-symptoms-of-menopause_1_0

Perhaps the main reason for the effectiveness of some herbs and plants in relieving menopausal symptoms is the presence of phytoestrogens. More than 300 such plants have been identified so far. Phytoestrogens are substances that have the ability to bind to estrogen receptors in a woman's body and thus mimic the action of real estrogen.

What-are-the-mechanisms-behind-herbs-ability-to-alleviate-the-symptoms-of-menopause_1_1

In addition to phytoestrogens, some herbs contain phytoprogesterone. They, as well as the antiandrogenic effects of some herbs, which reduce the conversion of testosterone to dehydrotestosterone and increase the conversion of testosterone and androstenedione to estrogen in peripheral tissues, can alleviate the symptoms of menopause and especially hot flashes.

What-are-the-mechanisms-behind-herbs-ability-to-alleviate-the-symptoms-of-menopause_1_2

There are other mechanisms by which medicinal plants help. For example, some herbal medicines that affect the nervous system by activating specific neurotransmitters are effective in improving sleep and memory in menopausal women.
