Eat BEANS and GRAINS? Learn How to Soak Them for Easy Digestion!

THIS CLASS IS SOLD OUT! REGISTER FOR FALLS CHURCH CLASS, 3/13 BELOW!

*NEW TECHNIQUES*

Saturday, March 6 . 9:30am-12 noon . Alexandria, VA

Beans, legumes, and grains are chock full of vitamins and protein your body needs. Leave those canned beans behind for the nutrition of beans prepared in your own kitchen…and learn how to prepare all those whole grains you are supposed to be eating so that the minerals and enzymes are not lost! Unless you properly prepare beans and grains by soaking, phytic acid will prevent the absorption of important minerals, enzyme inhibitiors will block your enzymes, and large protein and carbohydrate molecules will not be broken down…leading to gastric distress, bloating, and (pardon me), flatulence! (BTW, flatulence is NOT normal. It means your digestive system is having a hard time breaking down your food.) Failing to soak may also lead to bone loss. EEEK! Got osteoporosis? Soak your beans and grains! Got flatulence? Soak your beans and grains! Got IBS or digestive disorders? Soak your beans and grains!$55 per person in advance, $65 per person at the door
