Health Benefits Of Almonds 1) "Lower Cholesterol": Almonds are the leading source of monounsaturated fat among commonly eaten nuts: over 60% of the total fat in almonds is monounsaturated. Numerous studies demonstrate the cholesterol-lowering effects of consuming foods rich in monounsaturated fat. A 2005 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that consuming almonds as part of a heart-healthy diet can be just as effective at lowering LDL "bad" cholesterol levels as first generation statin drugs. 2) Reduce Blood Sugar Levels: Eating almond nuts may be a great option for diabetics looking to maintain healthy blood glucose levels. Findings from a 2007 study published in the journal Metabolism found that consuming almonds alongside white bread regulates spikes in blood sugar and significantly lowers the glycemic index of the meal. 3) Heart-Loving Antioxidant Powers:Almonds are one of the richest food sources of alpha-tocopherol, the form of vitamin E that is most easily absorbed by the body. Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant that protects cells against the damaging effects of free radicals, boosts the immune system, supports cardiovascular health, and helps your body create new red blood cells. A 2005 study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that almond consumption helped meet the Recommended Dietary Allowance of 15 mg/day alpha-tocopherol and improved red blood cell concentration. Another study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that almonds can reduce C-reactive protein, an indication of inflammation that affects the arteries. 4) Weight Control: As part of a calorie-conscious eating regime, almonds, which are high in monounsaturated fats, can help obese adults lose weight easier than a diet high in complex carbohydrates, according to a study in the International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic Disorders. Contrary to many worries of healthy eaters, consuming almonds actually lowers the risk of weight gain. A 28-month long study showed that individuals who ate almonds at least twice per week were 31% less likely to gain weight than nut-avoiding participants. So go ahead and go nuts! Sliced almonds are a tasty topping that can be added to yogurt, desserts, oatmeal and many other dishes. However, sliced almonds can also be hard to find or expensive. Fortunately, it's not too hard to make sliced almonds at home. Almonds are a delicious nut, and they're rich in healthy fats. The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health says that almonds are also a good source of fiber, vitamin E, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and antioxidants. Whole almonds are fairly common, but flaked and sliced almonds are typically made using special machinery. The machines used for the almonds you'll find presliced at the supermarket aren't made for home use. However, it's possible to make your own sliced almonds by hand. According to the Almond Board of California, you'll need to heat your almonds before you slice them. This process is a little more complicated than it sounds, though.
