Guest guest Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Now how cool is this. I was having breakfast at my breakfast place. We are all sitting at various tables and we talk all morning long. These people know I sprout so I don't have to say anything. A NEW guy comes in and sits at the table next to me. He hears me talking to the waitress about my being obese when I was younger and he approached me and said 'what do you eat? " I then finished up my meal, went and joined him at his table, wrote down " go on google and look up Benefits of Sprouting " . Then I sat with him and discussed Broccoli sprouts, other sprouts, what I sprout in, and when he said his father is a diabetic and he's afraid of getting diabetes, and I'm looking at his plate of home fries, bacon and eggs, bagel, etc, I said 'do you know about carbs and diabetes? and do you know what diabetes is?? " He said " It's high glucose levels " ? I said 'that's only part of it " . " Do you know about the pancreas and insulin resistance and insulin sensitivity " He said 'what is that? " Well, we discussed healthy alternatives, and how sprouting can be a good start to a healthy eating plan. No preaching, I just answered his questions and he was extremely interested. He wanted to lose 20 lbs. He shook my hand, followed me to the front of the place as we paid our bills, and thanked me again. He said 'you know, you gave me something to think about " I said 'you are only 46, you have a whole lifetime to learn a new lifestyle. Just making little changes now can benefit you " He told me he is thinking of having children. So this morning I met a new guy, 46 year old Ben who learned the basics of sprouting, and is going home to read up on it. Don't know if he'll sprout but this morning he learned all about the anti-cancer properties of broccoli sprouts, he learned about cholorphyll, he learned what I have learned. I was there for an hour. Life is all about teaching and learning. Whatever I learn, I TEACH. lol Melody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
