BENEFITS OF ALMONDS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nutrients and Healthy Fat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One ounce of almonds packs around 165 calories, 6 grams protein, 6 grams of carbohydrates, and 3.5 grams fiber. Plus, its 14 grams of fat is 80% monounsaturated fat — a healthy fat that helps lower your risk of heart disease while filling you up. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBad\u201d Cholesterol Buster<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almonds come packed with plant sterols, which are compounds that prevent your body from absorbing cholesterol. One-third cup of almonds a day, especially when you swap them for a less healthy snack choice, lowers your levels of LDL (\u201cbad\u201d) cholesterol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serve Up Calcium<\/strong> of all the nuts, almonds have the most calcium, at about 75 milligrams per ounce. Calcium is key for bone building, blood clotting, healthy muscles, and a strong heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dairy Substitute<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you have allergies or avoid dairy for other reasons, almond milk is a great stand-in for cow\u2019s milk. It\u2019s lactose free and cholesterol free and is often fortified with nutrients and vitamins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full of Fiber<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fiber is a healthy diet must: It helps keep you regular, keeps your blood sugar level, holds cholesterol in check, and lowers your risk of dying of cardiovascular disease. Almonds deliver 3.5 grams of fiber per ounce (about 23 almonds).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Help with Weight Loss<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noshing on almonds helps you feel fuller, which can curb your cravings. Even with their high calorie count, almonds don\u2019t pack on pounds. In fact, some studies show almonds can help boost your metabolism and bring on weight loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better Sleep<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unsaturated fat in almonds boosts your serotonin levels during the day. Serotonin is a chemical in your brain that helps control your sleep\/wake cycles. Higher levels during the day mean better sleep at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boost Your Sex Life<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent study of men showed that a half cup of nuts a day enhanced their sex life, improving the quality of their orgasms and increasing their sexual desire<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Build Immunity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almonds come stocked with vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps build up your cells to better withstand damage. Studies show getting more vitamin E can help prevent heart disease, Alzheimer\u2019s, and cancer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
