Food Focus: Almonds
Almonds are known for a rich source of vitamin E. About 20 percent of raw almond is high quality protein, 1/3 of which are essential
amino acids. An ounce of almonds contains 12% of necessary daily protein. They are also rich in dietary fibers, B vitamins, essential
minerals and mono-saturated fats, one of the two fats which potentially may lower LDL (Lower Density Lipoproteins) cholesterol. Typical of nuts and seeds associated with cholesterol-lowering properties.
Potential health benefits, which have not been scientifically validated, include improved complexion and possibly a lower risk of cancer. Preliminary
research associates consumption of almonds with elevating blood levels of high density lipoproteins (HDL) and lowering low density lipoproteins
(LDL). A preliminary trial showed that using them in the daily diet might lower several factors associated with heart disease, including cholesterol and
blood lipids.
