Soaking Almonds in Water
Almonds are difficult to digest because of an enzymes-inhibiting substance in their brown coating. These enzymes inhibitors protect the nut or seed until it has what it needs to grow. Soaking almonds overnight removes these toxic enzymes inhibitors so that the enzymes secreted during digestion can do their job.
Also, the gluten breaks down, so the digestion becomes much easier. Phytic acid, which inhibits the absorption of vital minerals, is also reduced. This helps our body get the benefit of vitality contained within them. Moreover, soaking almonds in milk and eating them increases the libido and enhances general sexual performance in cases of frigidity.
