One cup of raw cauliflower is rich in the antioxidant vitamin C, which is required for tissue growth and tissue repair in all parts of the body. It is also necessary for the formation of the important protein collagen, which is used to make skin, tendons, ligaments, scar tissue, and blood vessels.
Why should you soak your almonds? Almond skin contains an enzyme inhibitor which protects the seed until itâs moisturized enough for the process of germination. The enzyme inhibitor is activated only when you soak the almonds in water. Soaked almonds are easy to digest, and the body can use the nutrients better. This applies to most nutrients, as they are easily digested when soaked in water overnight.
One ounce of almonds contains 3.5 g of fiber, an amount that contributes to the quantity you need each day -- 25 to 38 g -- to prevent diarrhea and constipation. However, eating too many almonds can actually cause constipation and abdominal bloating if your body is not used to processing large amounts of fiber.
