Health benefits of Almond 

The almond is among the most useful nuts, both as a food and in many other ways. Almonds are not only tasty and relished all over the world, they are also beneficial to your health in many ways.

1)Eating almonds has always been considered good for the complexion and for the digestive system, and today scientists think that almonds may be good for preventing cancer as well. There is also evidence that almonds help to keep cholesterol levels low.

Full of Healthy Fats and Omega-3

A 1-oz. serving of almonds -- or about 24 almonds -- contains approximately 14 g of fat. Most of this is healthy fat -- monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat, as opposed to saturated fat. Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats don't clog the arteries the same way saturated fat does. Instead of collecting in the bloodstream along the artery walls, healthy fats collect the saturated fat and remove it from the bloodstream, lowering low-density lipoprotein, or bad cholesterol. Consuming healthy fats also raises your levels of high-density lipoprotein, or good cholesterol, which helps reduce your risk of developing heart disease. Additionally, almonds contain omega-3 fatty acids, which could reduce irregular heart rhythms and prevent a heart attack. Linda Vorvick, MD of the University of Washington School of Medicine recommends getting between 20 and 35 percent of your daily calories from fat and sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, like almonds.

High in Protein

Almonds are packed with lean protein. A 1-oz. serving contains 6 g of protein, but only a negligible amount of saturated fat. In the article "Healthy Diet: End the Guesswork With These Nutrition Guidelines," MayoClinic.com recommends that adults consume between 50 and 175 g of protein per day, and eating almonds is a healthy way to achieve this goal. Almonds are a nutritious option for vegetarians, because adding them to salads, rice, oatmeal and yogurt will increase the protein count of the meal. A high-protein snack, like a handful of almonds, helps curb the appetite with minimal calories. A 1-oz. serving of almonds contains approximately 170 calories per serving

3) As far ask the skin is concerned, almond can be used to great effect in several ways. Almond oil makes the skin smooth and soft, which is why it is often favored for massages. You can prepare a mixture of almond oil, honey, and lemon juice, and apply this as a face pack once a week. Almond oil can also be used for the hair.

4)In addition, almonds themselves can also be used in many home treatments for the skin. You can soak almonds for a few hours, then grind them, and use this paste with milk or rose water as an excellent face scrub

9 Health Benefits of Almonds:

1.  They reduce heart attack risk.
Those who consume nuts five times a week have about a 50 percent reduction in risk of heart attack according to the Loma Linda School of Public Health.

2.  They lower ‘bad’ cholesterol.
Almonds added to the diet have a favorable effect on blood cholesterol levels, according to a clinical study by Dr. Gene Spiller, Director of the Health Research and Studies Center, Inc.

3.  They protects artery walls from damage.
It was found that the flavonoids in almond skins work in synergy with the vitamin E, thus reducing the risk of heart disease (Research at Tufts University).

4.  Almonds help build strong bones and teeth.The phosphorus in almonds helps make this possible.

5.  They provide healthy fats and aid in weight loss:

• Although nuts are high in fat, frequent nut eaters are thinner on average than those who almost never consume nuts. (Data from the Nurses’ Health Study)
• Those who ate nuts at least two times per week were 31 percent less likely to gain weight than were those who never or seldom ate them in a study involving 8865 adults. (WHFood’s article on almonds)

6.  Almonds lower the rise in blood sugar and insulin after meals.

7.  They help provide good brain function.
Almonds contain riboflavin and L-carnitine, nutrients that boost brain activity and may also reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

8.  They nourish the nervous system.
According to Ayurveda, almonds help increase high intellectual level and longevity.

9.  They alkalize the body.
Almonds are the only nut and one of the few proteins that are alkaline forming.  When your body is not alkaline enough, you risk osteoporosis, poor immune function, low energy and weight gain.
