benefits of soaked almonds(badam)

Almonds are usually difficult to digest especially for  those who have mand agni ( low digestive power) as its digestibility is affected by an enzyme  inhibiting substance which is present in the brown coating or cover of badam.So peeling of that cover is important to strip off that enzyme inhibiting substance from badam to make it easily digested.The best and easiest way of peeling that cover is by soaking the badam overnight(for around 12 hours) and having it in the morning hours.The badam without brown cover can be easily digested . Soaking not only helps in eliminating enzyme inhibitors but also helps in easily releasing the locked protein and calcium from inside of the badam. Almonds is rich in vitamin E , Calcium,Protein and other vital nutrients.The calorific value difference between raw and soaked is minimal but the nutritional value of soaked badam is way higher than raw badam as the availability of nutritives such as calcium protein etc  increases due to soaking and also its easy digestibility leads to good absorption.Thus soaking only alters digestibility and availability making it superior than raw badam.

The reason behind this could be that biologically nuts are meant to survive through harsh coditions and only sprout and grow when they got favourable climate. So the biochemical transformation occurred during soaking create the climate for the nut to grow and thus in that phase maximum nutrients are available which can be utilized best by the body

The myth- Beetroot khao khoon badao

“Beetroot khao khoon badao.”owing to its red colour similar to blood generally people have a misconception that by eating beetroot your haemoglobin improves n it is rich in iron but the actual fact for which beetroot has to be eaten is revealed here.

Beetroot is one of the rich source of acute dietary nitrates due to which it helps in lowering blood pressure by vasodilation action leading to improved blood flow.. It is a rich source of nutrients such as  magnesium, sodium, potassium and vitamin C, folic acid,boron and betaine, which is important for cardiovascular health.it also exhibits anti oxidant property.in conjunction with other nutrients it helps in reducing the levels of homocysteine   a homologue of the naturally occurring amino acid cysteine, which can be harmful to blood vessels and and may lead to the development of heart disease, peripheral vascular disease. And other disorders.

Betanin the red colour component of beetroot is not broken down completely in body which my lead to beeturia( red urine) and reddish colour stool . which at times is misinterpreted by patients of having some bleeding disorder for which proper consulting is required as it is a complete harmless procedure..

According to few studies betaine may protect against liver disease, particularly the buildup of fatty deposits in the liver caused by alcohol abuse, protein deficiency,diabetes.

Thus , Beetroot juice has been shown to lower blood pressure and thus may prevent prevent cardiovascular problems which is contrary to the popular belief about beetroot of possessing  any blood cleansing properties but  instead it is a good source of antioxidants.

 Research published in theAmerican Heart Association journal Hypertension showed drinking 500 ml of beetroot juice led to a reduction in blood pressure within one hour. The reduction was more pronounced after three to four hours, and was measurable up to 24 hours after drinking the juice.
