Soaked Seeds Benefits: We often include dry fruits like almonds, cashews, walnuts in our diet to stay healthy. These are definitely beneficial, but there is one thing that people often ignore and that is seeds. Especially seeds like Chia Seeds, Flax Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds and Sunflower Seeds which are many times ahead of nuts in nutrition. If these seeds are soaked in water overnight and eaten on an empty stomach in the morning, then they work to give tremendous energy, immunity and strength to the body from within. Let us know which are these seeds and why they prove to be better than every dry fruit.

Instead of eating dry fruits, it is better to soak these seeds and eat them

1. Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, calcium, iron and protein. When soaked in water overnight, they form a gel-like structure which aids in digestion. Consuming them on an empty stomach in the morning detoxifies the body, keeps the stomach full for a long time and also aids in weight loss.

2. Flax Seeds

Flaxseed contains an element called lignan, which helps in maintaining hormonal balance in women. It also contains omega-3 and antioxidants which are beneficial for heart health. Soaked flaxseed is helpful in reducing constipation, inflammation and cholesterol.

3. Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds are an excellent source of zinc, magnesium and healthy fats. They are effective in sharpening the brain, improving sleep and strengthening muscles. If you are suffering from mental fatigue, stress or insomnia, then soaked pumpkin seeds are very beneficial for you.

4. Sunflower Seeds

Sunflower seeds are rich in vitamin E and selenium which increase the body's immunity and protect the cells from free radicals. Soaked sunflower seeds improve the skin and also increase hair strength.

How to consume?

• Soak 1-2 teaspoons of seeds in a glass of water at night.
• After waking up in the morning, eat these seeds by chewing them or drink them with water.
• If you want, you can also mix them in smoothie, curd or oats.

These simple seeds are as beneficial as dry fruits, in many cases even more beneficial. Consuming soaked seeds every morning on an empty stomach not only improves digestion, heart and skin health, but they are also very helpful in weight loss, sugar control and increasing immunity. Next time, definitely try these seeds before cashews and almonds.
