Almonds ar emore than just extras to snack on. Just 60g a day can have a very positive effect on our health. Almonds contain lots of unsaturated fatty acids as well as high quantities of magnesium, calcium, copper and vitamin B and E.
Protection against diabetes
If we take in enough almonds, after a few months, the sensitivity to insulin can be improved such that a diabetes can be prevented.
Protection for the heart
The unsaturated fatty acids in almonds have a amazing infuence on the health of our hearts. Just 20 g of almonds a day can halve the risk of dying of a cardiovascular disease.
Strengthening of bones
Sufficient almond intake leads to a reduction of osteoclasts (bone destroying cells) by up to 20 percent. The high calcium content also takes care of strengthening of bones and therefore prevents osteoporosis.
Skin protection
Almonds contain Vitamin E which is essential for our skin. Thanks to its antioxidant effect it makes the skin firmer and more elastic: an anti-aging effect. Even a handful of almonds makes our skin look more radiant and healthier.
Support of the digestion system
Almonds have a probiotic effect on our digestion. That means they provide food for the intestinal bacteria, which support our immune system.
