Millions snack on nuts every day to improve their health but not everyone knows the true nutritional value of almonds. They contain so many nutrients doctors even recommend them as part of dietary treatments. With just a brief education about the minerals, vitamins and compounds found in them, you wonโ€™t help but smile the next time you chew on a handful of almonds.

What is the nutritional information of almonds?

Almonds are usually categorized as sources of healthy fats. They are rich with mono-saturated fats which can reduce and counter the effects of LDL cholesterol in your body. LDL cholesterol, also known as bad cholesterol, is often the cause of blood clots and other cardiovascular diseases. Eating almonds therefore protects your heart by fighting the fat that attacks it. These fats have also been found to lower the risk of a stroke.

If you read the food label or chart that contains the nutritional information of almonds, you will notice that the percentage of dietary fiber is very high. Fiber is necessary because it aids digestion. Constipation and dehydration can cause irregular or uncomfortable bowel movements. Fiber is the substance that helps your stomach process ingested food and move it down the digestive tract until it is passed out of the body. Fiber in almonds can also help bulk up watery stools like those caused by diarrhea. Whether you eat meals that contain almonds or you snack on them throughout the day, consuming their fiber can smooth out digestion and prevent conditions like IBS, bowel construction, constipation, bloating, diarrhea, flatulence and many more.

If you suffer from Celiac disease, almonds will make a great addition to your diet. Why? Itโ€™s gluten-free. Although Celiac disease is very different from irritable bowel syndrome, they share the same symptoms. These symptoms are aggravated by foods that contain gluten. Be aware. If you usually buy packaged nuts, always check the section that holds the nutritional information of almonds. Sometimes, manufacturers can add gluten knowingly or unintentionally through processes of preparation.

The most prevalent vitamin in almonds is vitamin E. Vitamin E is actually an antioxidant, which means its primary function is to destroy and remove free radicals that sometimes enter the body and cause diseases. It also plays a vital part in maintaining the health of cell membranes so nutrients can be absorbed by cells.

Certain important minerals we need for good health can be found in these super nuts. Minerals include calcium, iron, zinc, manganese, magnesium and selenium. You need these minerals for strong bones, muscle repair, healthy joints, good nerve function, kidney and liver function. Other benefits include production of red blood cells to support the immune system, a faster metabolism, improve brain capability and balanced blood sugar levels.

People who suffer from high blood pressure, digestive conditions, diabetes, arthritis, epilepsy, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, Chrohnโ€™s disease, liver malfunction and many other chronic illnesses can benefit greatly from knowing more about the nutritional information of almonds and permanently adding them to the meal plan.
