Crunch your way healthily through the credit crisis by growing fresh vitamins and minerals on your windowsill !

Start the New Year afresh and give your bank balance a break after all the excesses and expense of the festive season – growing your own sprouts is the healthiest way of joining the raw food revolution and adding concentrated fresh vitamins and minerals to your daily diet, plus it will save money by bringing the farmers market into your home. Energiseyourlife.com aims to encourage everyone to consider their health-enhancing and longevity-promoting kitchen juicers, sprouters and water purifiers, to give the consumer control over their own health, in their own homes.

But why sprouts? Aren’t they those horrid green things we eat for Christmas dinner, which children hate and which make the kitchen smell for days afterwards… The answer is no! The sprouts we’re talking about here are actually micro greens – fresh salad leaves at the very beginning of their growth cycle, when they are at their freshest and healthiest. These tiny mini greens contain minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and even protein, giving you a daily dose of all the nutrients you need with no need for a daily synthetically produced vitamin pill. Sprouts aren’t just for health freaks either – they can be an important natural boost for the elderly, children, and the infirm, as well as a rich source of nutrients for vegans and vegetarians.

Oriental medicine has used raw sprouts for thousands of years for medicinal purposes. Increasing energy levels, vitality and even helping prevent and convalesce from disease, raw sprouts are easy to grow with the EasyGreen MikroFarm Sprouter – harvest a handful of delicious, vitamin-packed mini salad leaves as and when you need them, to add to soups, salads, sandwiches and packed lunches for a quick fix of minerals and vitamins and a lasting energy boost.

Doing it yourself can be fiddly and time consuming, with daily water changes, muslin cloths, daily strainings and quite a fiasco – but the EasyGreen MikroFarm Sprouter makes it easy, with their simple sprouter system, seeds, oxygen (the key ingredient in growing sprouts!) and water: the sprouts stay freshly watered and oxygenated, ensuring no mould growth and only the freshest, healthiest greens for everyday consumption.

Not only that, but with Energise Your Life’s range of sprouters, juicers and other healthy living gadgets, you can ensure optimum health within your own kitchen for years to come.

The EasyGreen MikroFarm only uses 100% recyclable packaging, including compressed paper chipboard packaging, and uses no plastic at all, just recycled paper and organic ink. Energise Your Life are the exclusive distributors in the UK and Ireland for the EasyGreen MikroFarm.

The EasyGreen Sprouter is currently priced at £119 was £149 at www.energiseyourlife.com – the perfect gift to start the New Year! (or a new month)!
