Description

Description

Almonds are the seeds of a fruit tree that belongs to the rose family – the almond tree.

Benefits

Increases the feeling of satiety

Almonds have the power to leave a feeling of 'satisfaction', helping to control appetite levels.

Helps with weight loss

“According to a 2003 study published in the International Journal of Obesity, individuals who added three handfuls of almonds to a low-calorie diet experienced increased weight loss compared to a low-calorie, low-fat diet alone,” the same book states.

Reduces the risk of heart disease

According to a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, "eating a combination of heart-healthy foods, including almonds, may help reduce LDL or 'bad' cholesterol levels as much as medication," David Grotto states in his book.

Furthermore, in 2003, the Food and Drug Administration, the main US food regulator, “approved a narrow health proposal for almonds saying that consuming them may reduce the risk of heart disease,” the same author notes.

Improves memory

According to David Grotto, an experiment with rats, David Grotto concluded that almonds can have an impact on memory and, consequently, on Alzheimer's disease.

"Rats with Alzheimer's-like disease were fed a diet rich in almonds. After four months, these animals performed better on memory tests than those fed a regular diet. The diet also reduced the number of Alzheimer's deposits in the rodents' brains," he states.
