Looking for a good snack? The amazing almond is a great choice. I eat almonds every day and the energy it gives me is UNREAL! I find them surprisingly filling, surprisingly convenient, and surprisingly tasty. Lets take a closer look:Cancer Prevention - Almonds are low in saturated fat and contain many other protective nutrients - calcium and magnesium - for strong bones, vitamin E and compounds called phytochemicals, which may help protect against cardiovascular disease and even cancer.
Reduce Heart Attack Risk - A Loma Linda School of Public Health study showed those who consumed nuts five times a week had a 50% reduction in risk of heart attack.
Lower Cholesterol - In one clinical study, Dr. Gene Spiller, Director of the Health Research and Studies Center, Inc., showed that almonds added to the diet had a favorable effect on blood cholesterol levels and that none of the study groups experienced weight gain in the study.
Almonds are the best whole food source of vitamin E, in the form of alpha-tocopherol, which may help prevent cancer.
If you're pregnant, or thinking about it, almonds are a great source of the folic acid you need!
Almonds contain more magnesium than oatmeal or even spinach. Are you listening, Popeye?
Build strong bones and teeth with the phosphorus in almonds.
With all these benefits, how can you afford not too eat almonds everyday? Check out this cool website I found if you want to take an even closer closer look.
