Description
Almonds contain lots of healthy fats, fiber, protein, magnesium and vitamin E. The health benefits of almonds include lower blood sugar levels, reduced blood pressure and lower cholesterol levels. They can also reduce hunger and promote weight loss. All things considered, almonds are as close to perfect as a food can get. Almonds are a fantastic source of antioxidants. Antioxidants help to protect against oxidative stress, which can damage molecules in cells and contribute to aging and diseases like cancer. The magnesium in almonds may also help to lower blood pressure levels. High blood pressure is one of the leading drivers of heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure. A deficiency in magnesium is strongly linked to blood pressure problems, regardless of whether you are overweight or not. Correcting a magnesium deficiency can lead to major reductions in blood pressure. Having high levels of LDL lipoproteins (the bad cholesterol) in the blood is a well-known risk factor for heart disease. What you eat can have major effects on LDL levels, and some studies have shown almonds to be effective. Eating 1-2 handfuls of almonds per day can lead to mild reductions in LDL cholesterol levels. Almonds are low in carbs, and high in both protein and fiber. Both protein and fiber are known to increase satiety. They help people feel more full, so they end up eating fewer calories. Nuts are low in carbs, but high in protein and fiber. Eating almonds can increase satiety and help you eat fewer calories.
