Eaten in moderation, almonds help with weight loss.
Sure, almonds have fat and calories, and no, we cannot eat loads of them at a time and expect to lose weight. But, with that said, there has been a massive amount of research done showing that almonds eaten in moderation can actually assist in weight reduction.
There are many reasons to eat almonds:
- Heart-healthy benefits – rich in monounsaturated fat which lowers levels of heart disease and cancer
- Contain about 6g of protein per ounce
- Contain 3g of dietary fibre
- Rich in calcium
- Contain Phosphorus and Vitamin E
- Excellent source of magnesium
- They contain no carbs so are very good and safe for diabetics and sugar-reduced diets
They are also great pre-workout snacks with your favourite piece of fruit such as an apple. So, go ahead and enjoy this wonderful healthy food as a snack or added to your meals. The benefits are wonderful and your health will be enhanced in so many ways.
