Benefits Of Raw Almonds
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.

My Moms: Spicy Roasted Almonds Recipe.
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. Fast
