Consumers have new reasons to enjoy almonds as researchers have recently announced that nuts not only taste good, but they're also good for you.
Almonds are one of the most nutritious of all nuts. As more and more consumers become dedicated to healthy lifestyles, experts have found that adding natural foods such as almonds to your diet may be the prescription for physical wellness in the 21st century.
Cancer Prevention - Almonds are low in saturated fat and contain many other protective nutrients: calcium and magnesium for strong bones, vitamin E, and compounds called phytochemicals which may help protect against cardiovascular disease and even cancer.
Phytochemical Powerhouse - Leading nutrition scientists presented their research findings in a symposium entitled "Nuts in a Healthful Diet", as a part of the 1998 Experimental Biology annual meeting. Dr. Gary Beecher, of the USDA-ARS, has analyzed the phytochemical content of almonds and states, "I have never seen this diversity of phytochemicals in a single food source."
Reduce Heart Attack Risk - A Loma Linda School of Public Health study showed that those in the study group who consumed nuts five times a week had a 50% reduction in risk of heart attack.
Lower Cholesterol - In one clinical study, Dr. Gene Spiller, Director of the Health Research and Studies Center, Inc., showed that almonds added to the diet had a favorable effect on blood cholesterol levels and that none of the study groups experienced weight gain in the study.
