Almond Health Benefits

Almonds are good for your health too! Much like other nuts, almonds have an effect similar to drugs known as 'statins,' where they help to lower chelesterol. Specifically, almonds help to lower LDL (bad chelesterol), and helps to block the body's absorption of both fat and carbohydrates.


The great thing about eating almonds to combat high chelesterol, obesity or heart disease is almonds are a completely natural alternative to taking prescription drugs such as 'statins.' Statins can have a range of side effects, but the only side effect to eating almonds is you might feel more full after each meal. The high fiber structure of almonds helps to slow absorption of carbohydrates by the body, therefore helping blood sugar levels rise slower. This in turn can even help to keep insulin levels in check.
