Eat these SOAKED superfoods on empty stomach to boost immunity

The term “superfoods” refers to foods that are nutrient-dense and low on calories. These are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Including superfoods in your daily diet can help in preventing micronutrient deficiencies and improve your immunity.

One great way to get a good dose of superfoods is to eat them first thing in the morning, after drinking your glass of water.

Nuts are tiny but powerful superfoods that you can eat in the morning. These are rich in B-vitamins, folate and vitamin E. According to health experts, these are easier to digest and absorb by our body if we consume them after soaking for a period of time, say overnight.

Here are some easily available superfoods and their benefits that you can reap by consuming them after soaking overnight.

Almonds are an excellent source of vitamin E and B6. This helps to absorb proteins in the brain cells.

Almonds also contain omega3 and omega6 fatty acids that help in the overall development of the brain. Soaking almonds enhance the absorption ability of these nutrients.

Soak 5-7 almonds overnight, peel them in the morning and consume them daily before having tea or coffee, if you drink any.
