ALMONDS Benefits

 Health benefits of ALMONDS

Almonds are a rich source of protein, monounsaturated fatty acids, dietary fibre, vitamin E, riboflavin, and essential minerals. Dry fruits like almonds, pistachio, cashew, walnut, apricot and pomegranate were known since long time for their value in health and nutrition. But almonds are the queen of dry fruits. Almonds are regarded as the epitome of healthy foods because they are a rich source of protein, monounsaturated fatty acids, dietary fibre, vitamin E, riboflavin, and essential minerals as well as phytosterols and polyphenols. The growing body of clinical evidence suggests that almond, which can be bought in any dry fruits shop, consumption is associated with several health benefits. Other dry fruits that also offer health benefits are cashew nuts, raisins, walnuts, dates, apricots and pistachio. Besides dry fruits, ‘wet fruits’ such as bananas, grapes, guavas, oranges and mangoes also offer health benefits. But no match to Almonds in this regards. Consumption of 10-12 almonds a day would bring magical health benefits in your life.
