Almonds are the first "super-food" I will be talking about on this blog. What is a super-food? It is a food that is packed full of vitamins and nutritional value to power your body, aid in normal bodily functions, and often help fight cancers and diseases.
Almonds are a fantastic, delicious food, that contains healthy fats, proteins and vitamins including: calcium, B-6, and vitamin E. Almonds also contain the minerals iron, zinc, and manganese amongst others. They are great for the blood and heart, helping to balance cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. With so much manganese, and calcium, almonds are obviously great for your bones.
Besides the health benefits, almonds are great weight loss food because they keep you from getting hungry.
Eat a handful of almonds a day and you will see and feel the difference, both now and in 20 years!
