2. Health Benefits

Numerous studies support the benefits of consuming almonds on a regular basis:
They protect the heart: They help lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and maintain healthy blood pressure levels.
They control blood sugar: their low glycemic index and high magnesium content make them an ideal snack for people with diabetes or insulin resistance.
They promote weight loss: thanks to their satiating effect, they can help you control your appetite and prevent cravings.
