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

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.

Here are some easily available superfoods and their benefits that can be consumed if soaked overnight:

– Soak 5-7 almonds overnight, peel them in the morning and consume them daily before having tea or coffee as almonds are a great source of Vitamin E and B6. This helps to absorb proteins in the brain cells.

– Soaked black raisins are loaded with antioxidants such as polyphenols and phytonutrients that help in protecting our eyes from free radical damage, age- related macular degeneration and eating them in the morning help to regularize your bowel movement.

– Soak 2 walnuts in half a cup of water overnight and consume them to boost your brain power, memory power and concentration ability.

– Consuming soaked pistachios help people to lose weight. They are rich in fiber and great for your digestive health.
