7 HEALTH BENEFITS OF ALMONDS

1. Almonds deliver a massive amount of nutrients.

A 28-gram serving of almonds contains:
* Fiber: 3.5 g
* Protein: 6 g
* Fat: 14 g (9 of which are monounsaturated)
* Vitamin E: 48% of the daily value (DV)
* Manganese: 27% of the DV
* Magnesium: 18% of the DV
* a decent amount of copper, vitamin B2 (riboflavin), and phosphorus

2. Almonds are loaded with antioxidants.

These help protect against oxidative stress, which can damage molecules in your cells and contribute to inflammation, aging, and diseases like cancer.

3. Almonds are among the world’s best sources of vitamin E.

Several studies have linked higher vitamin E intake with lower rates of heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease.

4. Almonds are high in magnesium, which can assist with blood sugar control and lower blood pressure & cholesterol levels.

Adequate magnesium intake has been associated with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and improved blood sugar management in people with diabetes.

It may also help lower blood pressure levels, which is one of the leading causes of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney failure.

And, it may also be effective in reducing low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) in your blood — aka “bad” cholesterol — a well-known risk factor for heart disease, by maintaining high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) — aka “good” cholesterol.

5. Almonds prevent harmful oxidation of LDL cholesterol.

Almond skin is rich in polyphenol antioxidants, which prevent the oxidation of cholesterol, a crucial step in the development of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the narrowing of arteries caused by fatty plaque buildup on the artery wall lining, which increases the risk of heart disease.

6. Eating almonds reduces hunger.

Almonds are high in protein and fiber.
Both protein and fiber are known to increase feelings of fullness. This can help prevent you from overeating.

7. Almonds may be effective for weight loss.

Eating nuts can boost metabolism slightly. Due to their satiating properties, nuts are a great addition to an effective weight loss diet.
