Ayurveda expert on many benefits of soaked and peeled almonds for body and mind

Ahealthy start to your day can fuel the mind and the body right. Ayurveda recommends a light and nourishing breakfast including essential nutrients to stay energised and active during the day.

Soaked almond is one of the age-old morning foods our ancestors have trusted and not without a reason. As per Ayurveda, almond is the powerhouse of nutrition and plays an important role in balancing doshas, particularly kapha dosha.

A Kapha imbalance can cause heaviness, coldness, and dampness, leading to lethargy, congestion and respiratory issues. Having soaked almonds first thing in the morning can help expel kapha and promote vitality and overall health. ( Morning superfoods: 7 amazing dry fruits, seeds, and nuts to lower cholesterol)

Take the required number of almonds (a handful for each person) in a bowl and add water to it. Let them soak in the water overnight. Remove the peels in the morning and consume them on empty stomach to reap maximum benefits.

How almonds help balance doshas

An imbalance of Kapha dosha can lead to sluggishness and dullness and can also lead to conditions such as respiratory issues, allergies, and water retention. Eating almonds along with other lifestyle changes can help balance this dosha and promote overall well-being.
