Nuts, Seeds And Dry Fruits That Swell With Health When Soaked

Overnight-soaked foods, particularly dry fruits, nuts, and seeds, have grown popular. Certain meals may benefit from pre-soaking to strengthen the body's defences against diseases, including viral infections. Oxalates and phytates, two nutrition inhibitors, are also eliminated. Nutritionists, dieticians, and health experts have endorsed the numerous advantages of eating it first thing in the morning. Here are five options for what to choose and why to have them.

Walnuts

Walnuts are high in omega-3 fatty acids. These components assist in lowering cholesterol. When cholesterol levels are controlled, the heart remains healthy. Walnuts help to decrease the risk of cancer and inflammation. With a glycemic index of only 15, overnight-soaked walnuts make a good diabetic snack. The regulation of blood sugar is facilitated by walnuts' insulin resistance.

Fenugreek Seeds

The high fibre content of fenugreek or methi dana seeds helps with digestion. It also works well to relieve constipation. Diabetics may benefit from fenugreek seeds due to their capacity to manage blood sugar levels. A common recommendation from medical specialists is to soak fenugreek seeds in water for eight hours, then drink the water and chew the seeds first thing in the morning.

Chia Seeds

Insoluble fibre helps your faeces gain bulk while keeping their softness. When soaked overnight and ingested the following day, chia seeds, high in this type of fibre, can help promote digestion.

Dates

Dates have been shown in studies to lower inflammatory molecules in the brain, such as interleukin 6 (IL-6). Presoaked dates in water enhance nutrient absorption by eliminating tannins and phytic acid. Soak dates overnight for 8-10 hours before eating to get the most nutrients out of them. Dates become laghu, or easy to digest, according to Ayurveda, when they are steeped.
