Stop letting "beans take forever" be your excuse. Properly cooked beans = protein, iron, and all the nutrients your body needs that you have been avoiding.
"Beans always take too long to cook, that’s why I don’t eat them."
That is what I see people always saying. Well, cooking beans require patience. And the real reason your beans are stubborn is water, storage, and the type of beans.
But if you really want them soft without waiting forever, people add akaun (potash); a tiny pinch is enough. Cause if you add too much, your beans will taste off, so don’t overdo it.
So yeah, if you have been feeling that way, maybe skip the energy drinks and soft drinks for a while and eat periwinkles or beans instead. Though not a magic fix, but sometimes the old-school stuff really works.
Periwinkles are full of iron and protein, which your body uses to make red blood cells. When you are low on iron, you start to feel tired, dizzy, or weak often.
