Almond Benefits You Should Know

by Kevin | 3 Jul 2019

An almond, despite being classified as a nut by most, is actually the seed from the fruit of an almond tree. The scientific name of these dry fruits is Prunus dulcis and they are native to the Middle East, India, and North Africa.

The taste of almonds may range from sweet to bitter. Both are readily available in markets and can be purchased based upon your taste and cooking use! Sweet almonds are edible, while bitter ones are used for making oil, which is commonly used to add flavor to the food.

Many people also add almonds as ingredients in salads, casseroles, and other dishes. You can eat almonds right out of the bags, preferably on an empty stomach to increase. You can also soak them in water overnight and eat them the next morning.

So what are the benefits that comes with almonds?

1. Rich in Antioxidants & Vitamin E
Along with almonds’ alkalinity, they also have a high content of vitamin E, which is a powerful antioxidant. Vitamin E seeks out damaging free radicals in the body and helps to eliminate them. Free radicals promote chronic diseases and can be hazardous to the body’s organs, so vitamin E does the body a great service.

2. Control Blood Sugar Levels
almonds also help to reduce the reactionary rise in glucose and insulin levels after meals. [6] This modulation offers protection from the dangerous spikes in blood sugar, which diabetics often suffer from following a large meal, or a meal with an unexpectedly high level of sugar in it.

3. Regulate Cholesterol Level
Regular consumption of almonds helps to increase the high-density lipoproteins (also known as HDL cholesterol levels) and helps to reduce the low-density lipoproteins (referred to as LDL cholesterol levels).

4. Weight Loss
Unsweetened almond milk can be used if you are attempting to lose weight. It is low calorie and the mono-unsaturated fat contained in almonds satisfies the appetite and prevents overeating. The dietary fiber in almonds also contributes to the sensation of feeling full, despite eating only a small amount.

5. Cancer Prevention
Almonds improve the movement of food through the colon, thereby preventing build-up and possibly the subsequent colon cancer.
