Walnuts, almonds, pistachios, and cashews are good for replenishing energy and regulating the cardiovascular system; but if used improperly, they can be harmful to the body. Such an opinion was expressed by nutritionist Artem Leonov (Russia).
According to RIA Novosti, although nuts contain many useful micro and macro elements, fiber and protein, they also contain substances that suppress enzymes.
"All the useful substances in nuts are in an inactive state, are limited to natural preservatives, and do not bring any benefit to the body. Water neutralizes natural preservatives as it should be. When using water with walnuts, all micro and macro elements become active and become accessible to the body," said the aforementioned specialist.
According to him, it will be useful to consume nuts after soaking them in water for 6 to 8 hours.
"This is the only way to get all the natural energy invested in nuts," added the nutritionist.
