The almond and its benefits

Almonds to protect against cardiovascular diseases

Eating almonds would reduce the risk of heart disease, as demonstrated by a study conducted in 2015 by researchers at Life Science in the USA. Indeed, tree nuts are rich in nutrients (unsaturated fatty acids, proteins, vitamins and minerals) that improve the health of blood vessels and arterial function. Almonds go further as they would also improve blood circulation and reduce blood pressure, and thus reduce the risks of cardiovascular diseases.

The almond, fountain of youth

We can only advise you to always consume your almonds with the fine skin that covers them. This is a true concentrate of vitamin E, an antioxidant capable of effectively fighting cell ageing and limiting the appearance of certain cancers.

Boost your brain with almonds

According to many studies, consuming almonds regularly would boost our cognitive functions thanks to the minerals and trace elements they contain. The vitamin E found in almond skin would help fight cognitive decline in older people.

Oh Joy

Rich in magnesium, the almond is ideal for fighting stress, anxiety and low mood. Magnesium also helps reduce pain related to menstrual cramps. OK, so does chocolate.

The almond, an ally during your diets

The almond is rich in lipids and calories. And yet, they are perfect snacks to nibble on during your diets: in addition to being satiating – which gives your body the impression of no longer being hungry – they slow down the absorption of fats by your body, and therefore the number of calories. YES!
