Did you know that eating 22 almonds a day provides you with the daily recommended dose of magnesium?

Almonds soaking in water

I have begun soaking 22 almonds in water daily to snack on throughout the day.  Dry almonds are difficult to digest and this last batch has a skin on them that when eaten dry it causes cramping.  The water puffs them up and there is no trouble digesting them.

The nutrients in almonds are slowly released so I am finding that not only am I getting much-needed magnesium, my cravings are being curbed.  It’s also supporting my weight loss with the added protein and fiber in them.

This great new habit is a benefit to my diet!
