It’s not often that delicious is also healthy, and almonds are one of such rarities. They
contain lots of vitamins and other elements we need to be beautiful and healthy.
Today Bright Side would like to tell you of 7 positive changes that occur if you eat these nuts every day.
Cholesterol decrease
Almonds are
among the 5 most effective products for reducing "bad" cholesterol. If it’s already too high, increase the number of almonds to 20-30 a day. The symptoms are white spots on your lower eyelids, aching legs, and early grey hair.
Healthy hair
Almonds contain almost all the vitamins and minerals needed to
improve the growth of your hair and make it stronger. Magnesium and zinc stimulate hair growth, vitamin E makes it stronger, and vitamin B gives gloss and longevity.
Preventing heart diseases
The antioxidants, monounsaturated fats, magnesium, and copper in almonds heavily
support the heart and blood vessels. To prevent ischemic heart disease and other cardiac conditions, eat almonds with the shell.
Preventing wrinkles
These nuts contain an ample amount of manganese that helps produce collagen, a protein responsible for
skin tone. Vitamin E, an antioxidant, also helps fight signs of ageing.
Healthy bacterial flora
Almond shells contain
prebiotics that is needed for growth and multiplication of good gut bacteria. If there’s an imbalance (with such symptoms as stomachache, bad breath, and indigestion), it’s recommended to eat 30-35 almonds a day.
Losing weight
One scientific study proved that people eating almonds consume fewer carbohydrates (sweets or pastries). Normalising the metabolism also contributes to
weight loss, ensured by vitamins and fibre.
Improvement of brain activity
Regular consumption of almonds improves the memory thanks to vitamin E and fatty acids. In addition, these nuts help
hold off ageing of the brain.
