The Almond Board of California held researches on individuals who regularly consumed almonds. They showed that those who ate almonds tended to gain less weight because almonds contain a lot of magnesium and vitamin E.
 It has been proved that if you eat almond every day you will feel full and the amount of consumed carbohydrates will decrease.
A lot of people think that nuts have a high fat content. This is true mainly for peanuts. But it is very useful for your health to consume nuts especially almonds and you shouldn’t be afraid of their fat content. Almond is rich in fiber and it has been noticed that due to this fats are not totally absorbed.
The investigations show that eating one to three ounces of almond per day assists in decreasing LDL cholesterol levels and doesn’t cause weight gain.
Most diet plans have lack of magnesium and vitamin E. With the help of almond you will correct this deficiency. They also contain a lot of protein.
You can consume nuts by the handful or you may add them to your salads, cottage cheese, cereal or eat them with a serving of fruit or vegetables.
It is not recommended by the specialists to take almond for snacks because of their fat content, but if you don’t eat too much (not more than a small handful daily) it will be very useful and your body won’t receive a lot of fat. However, peanuts have excess amount of fat and you should limit their intake.
