Aloha Gorgeous / Handsome,
Your tummy is rumbling, you got to eat something quick.
What do you have on hand? A chocolate bar, some sweets or crisps?
If you want to be productive, I would recommend you to give almonds and all their good nutrients a try.
Almonds are packed with vitamins, minerals, proteins and fibres. Ayurveda claims that almonds are energising and balancing for the mind. It is recommended to pre-soak almonds to ease digestion and increase nutrients absorption. Eating soaked almonds in the morning sets hydrochloric acid tolerance for the day and provide all-day protein digestion. Almonds should not be taken on an empty stomach, they should be accompanied with fruits. They are ideal for individuals with Vata dosha. =)
There are many benefits of eating pre-soaked almonds regularly. They are known as one of the best brain tonics. They are rich in essential fats and serves to improve memory and intelligence. Another benefit of eating pre-soaked almonds is an overall improvement of the texture of your skin. Almonds are an effective moisturiser for the skin!
There is no need to peel the skin as it contains anti-oxidants and it contributes to a significant part of the fibre content. Almonds are good for preventing diabetes, heart problems and cancer.
So what do you think? Would you soak almonds overnight? One way of doing it:
- Rinse thoroughly almonds in water and soak almonds in the double quantity of water.
- Cover the bowl with a fine cloth. Do not use a tight locking lid.
- Soak the almonds at room temperature for 8 to 10 hrs
- Drain the water and rinse prior to eating
Nourish, cleanse and love your body!
With Love G
