In addition to their applications and great taste, the beneficial properties of almonds for the body are important, so consuming them regularly and in moderation is advisable. Among their benefits are:

Proteins

Almonds are very rich in proteins, containing more than meat. Therefore, they are an ideal supplement for vegetarian or vegan diets, which may have a deficit of these necessary molecules (although plant proteins do not contain all the amino acids the body needs, so they should be supplemented with other sources).

Vitamins

They have a significant amount of vitamins B and, above all, E, which is a powerful antioxidant. Therefore, consuming them helps reduce cellular oxidation damage.

Fiber

Almonds are one of the nuts that provide the most fiber to the body, especially concentrated in their skin. As we know, a significant fiber intake in the diet is necessary for good gastrointestinal health.

Minerals

Potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, iron, and zinc are the minerals you can find in this food in order of quantity. It stands out in its contribution of calcium, as it is one of its largest plant sources.

Fats

Almonds have a significant amount of fatty acids. Most of these are monounsaturated fats, which with controlled intake protect the cardiovascular system, and polyunsaturated fats, necessary for the body and which it cannot produce on its own. Only 3% of this food is saturated fat. Therefore, its consumption is associated with a lower rate of cardiovascular diseases.

Cholesterol

Almonds help increase and maintain healthy levels of HDL cholesterol (the 'good' one), reducing LDL cholesterol (the 'bad' one).

Carbohydrates

It mainly contains slow-absorbing carbohydrates, those that the body can store. Since it does not provide sugar, it does not disrupt its levels, making it an advisable energy source especially for people with diabetes.
