10 Health Benefits of Almonds

Help Digestion
Almonds are a great source of fiber, says Bonnie Taub-Dix, Registered Dietician Nutritionist for Blue Diamond and author of Read It Before You Eat It: Taking You from Label to Table. Eating a handful of almonds or drinking a glass of almond milk can keep your gastrointestinal tract moving and prevent constipation (here are a few more foods that can keep things moving, so to speak). Almonds can also promote healthy bacteria in your gut. This can help you digest your food and even fight off illness.

Moisturize Skin
If you suffer from dry, flaky skin, a cream or lotion that contains almonds could be the answer. “Almonds provide healthy fats to help keep skin supple,” says Bonnie. Almonds also support glowing skin by giving your body a punch of vitamins A and E. Make your own almond facial oil by filling a small glass bottle with almond oil, then adding up to five drops of the essential oil of your choice. It will last up to a year.

Protect You from Heart Disease
Are almonds good for your heart? You bet! In addition to giving you glowing skin, vitamin E in almonds can help your heart as well. A study in the Journal of Nutrition found that diets high in vitamin E are linked with lower rates of heart disease. Try snacking on a handful of almonds or whipping up a heart-healthy salad for lunch.

Eliminate Cravings
If you find yourself always reaching for a chocolate chip cookie when that afternoon slump hits, try keeping a dish of almonds on your desk. Their salty crunch is known to squelch cravings, says Bonnie. And if you can’t get that sweet tooth out of your mind, make some candied nuts right in your slow cooker.
