Why you should add almonds
Like all nuts, almonds are one of nature’s superfoods. If you eat them regularly, they may lower your risk of heart attack and type 2 diabetes, and they can even make it easier for you to maintain a healthy weight.
How they work
Almonds provide strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and even prebiotic benefits, meaning they can stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in your intestines, especially if you keep their skin on. They’re packed with nutrients such as monounsaturated fats, vitamin E (30 grams provide 70 per cent of the daily requirement), plant sterols, plant protein including arginine (there are 6 grams per handful), calcium and multiple phytonutrients like polyphenols that work collectively for maximum health benefits.
Ways to use more
Unless you have an allergy, include at least 30 grams of almonds (about 20) in your daily diet. If you find them hard to chew, simply soak them in water for 8 to 12 hours.
Enjoy almonds as snacks, in cereals or tossed through salads and stir-fries. Spread their butter on bread instead of margarine and use their “flour” to create moist, flourless cakes.
