Studies conducted at Aston University found that almonds could reduce the risk of heart disease.
The study included two groups of participants, one group was told to consume 50 grams of almonds a day for one month, while the other group was told to consume their normal meals and snacks.
The team found that the group that consumed almonds daily had higher levels of antioxidants in their blood compared to the control group. In addition, the almond group had improved blood flow and lower blood pressure, which helps reduce the risk of heart disease.
According to study leader, Professor Helen Griffiths:
"Our study confirms that almonds are a superfood. Previous studies have shown that they keep your heart healthy, but our research proves that it isn't too late to introduce them into your diet -- adding even a handful (around 50g) every day for a short period can help. You could replace a daytime snack with a bag of almonds or add them to your regular meals like porridge or muesli to help reduce your risk of heart problems."
If you are interested in reducing your risk of heart disease, you might want to consider adding a few almonds to your daily diet.
Enjoy your day.
