How Can Raw Almonds Help Me Stay Well?

Almond nuts (seeds) are packed with numerous nutrients, and studies have shown that the almond is an excellent example of how a whole food, like almonds, can provide cumulative benefits, as the various components compliment one another. In other words, when it comes to the effects on your health, the whole (combined ingredients) is greater than the sum (individual ingredients).

According to a study, published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, following a diet that includes almonds effectively lowers not only LDL cholesterol levels but also C-reactive protein levels, a key marker of inflammation.

Benefits of Almonds:

Vitamin E: This powerful vitamin is an excellent antioxidant.

Monounsaturated fat: This is the “good” kind of fat that your heart and arteries love — same type as found in olive oil.

Protein: A quarter cup of almonds has over seven grams of protein.

Magnesium: This important mineral helps your cardiovascular system to be more efficient, thus delivering more nutrients and oxygen to the body. It also protects the heart from free radical damage and acts as a natural channel blocker. One-fourth cup of almonds contains 99 mg of magnesium and 257 mg of potassium. When levels are high, your veins and arteries relax, allowing an increase in the flow of oxygen and nutrient rich blood.

Potassium: Necessary for optimal nerve and muscle functions. Also helps to stabilize the heart muscle and blood pressure.

Copper and manganese: These trace minerals are key components of an enzyme produced by the body called superoxide dismutase. This powerful substance is an excellent weapon against free radicals. It also stimulates the production of energy at both the cellular and bodily levels.

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin): B2 also plays an important role in energy management, especially in areas such as the heart, lungs, brain, and other organs that are highly dependent on a rich oxygen supply.

Almonds have probiotic properties. Finely ground almonds seem to significantly increase the levels of beneficial bacteria. However, this effect is not seen when the fat content was removed from the almond preparation.

Lowered gallstone risk. Some studies have shown that consuming nuts can lower the risk of developing gallstones by 25 percent.

Weight Loss. A study, reported in an WHFood's article about almonds, involving 8865 adults found that those who consumed nuts at least two times per week were 31% less likely to gain weight than were those who never or seldom consumed them.

1 cup whole almonds
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1½ teaspoons chili powder
¼ teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon coriander
¼ teaspoon paprika, smoked if available
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper (optional)

Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
Mix the olive oil and spices together in a bowl. It helps to mash them together with a spoon, as the ingredients remain relatively dry and tend to clump.
Add the almonds.
Mix all of the ingredients together until the nuts are evenly coated with the oil and spice mixture.
Spread the almonds out in a single layer on a cookie sheet or other appropriately-sized pan and put them in the oven.
Bake them for ten minutes, taking care to stir them twice during that time.
Allow the nuts to cool completely before serving.

I haven't tried it yet, but I suspect that using butter in place of the olive oil would be mighty tasty, and throwing in a tablespoon of liquid honey probably wouldn't hurt, either. If you try either of those things and they work, drop in and let me know.
