own unique waking and sleeping
patterns and the unit’s long-life LED
bulbs provide a natural, full spectrum
light that mimics sunrise and
sunset. It can also run on a DC current

battery packs and solar power. As
well, it is equipped with a European

Healthy diet needs more grain
Research has shown that using
sprouted grains in baked products
increases the absorption of biotin,
folic acid and vitamins B1,B2,B3,B5
and C. Stonemill Bakehouse has
added two new sprouted grain
products to add variety to your
healthy choices. Sprouted Grains,
Psyllium-12 Grain Rye Bread and
Sprouted Grain, Prebiotic-Flax
Bagels contain only all-natural ingredients
with no chemical additives
or preservatives.The sprouting process
creates enzymatic activity,
which helps the body better assimilate
the nutrients and naturally
transforms the starches of the grains
into easily digested maltose and
other complex sugars. Sproutedgrain
products have been linked
with numerous health benefits,such
as lowering the incidence of digestive
diseases,coronary heart disease,
diabetes and obesity. Available at
major supermarkets across Ontario
and Quebec.
