It takes determination to stay conscious and grateful even when we're saying a blessing.<br />(And this is just food we're talking about. <br /><br /><i>Does this hold true for all beans--a good soaking is optimum?</i><br /><br />I don't know if it's for ALL beans-it seems so for red, navy beans etc. I've read that grains have a lower phytate content and supported with a good diet may not pose a problem.<br />I've never had soaked nuts.

I'm with you - in our busy schedules it seems like a supplement can be a good solution, especially if we're not getting as many raw foods as we'd like. I've also read that our bodies produce less digestive enzymes as we age, so a supplement just before a meal can help with digestion. I try to get in some raw food with every meal...but I'm not always that "balanced."<br />- Anna M<br />blog.nutri-health.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10499713551579893801noreply@blogger.com
