Almonds are snacks that love you back unconditionally. Not only are they filled with fiber and vitamin E but, they are also a wonderful source of protein. The biggest plus, however, is they are low in saturated fat and cholesterol free. Did you know that just one ounce (about 23) can help you maintain a healthy cholesterol level?
Vitamin E is an important antioxidant that is essential to overall well-being. Almonds are one of the best food sources of alpha-tocopherol vitamin E, which science has identified as the only type of vitamin E that makes itself available to cells in the circulatory system. In comparison to cashews, pistachios, pecans and walnuts that we love to munch on, almonds are less in calories, higher in protein, fiber, potassium and other nutrients important to our overall health.
Munch on!
