Wellness diaries: get ready for summer : Eat almonds !

July 13th 2015


Almonds - we just can’t live without them! If you’re looking to loose weight and stay fit - even more so stay healthy -  almonds should now be part of your daily life. The perks they bring are endless.
 
Their nutritional attributes are countless and though they are high in calorie they in no way hinder weight loss. These little nuts’ health benefits are indisputable as long as you eat them whole, not grilled nor salted.
 
Perfect for snacking:
They’re invigorating and immediately relieve hunger. With their high protein and fibre content they give excellent satiety. Eating a handful of almonds helps to reduce consumption of any other foods as hunger is dissipated. Don’t hesitate to add a few almonds to your dishes, they go really well with fish, chicken and vegetables.
 
Amazing health benefits:
They contain 15% fibre, that helps digest carbs over time and 19% vegetable protein,  that reduces intake of unhealthier animal protein. Almonds are packed with anti-oxidants, rich in magnesium and vitamin E, nutrients that are great for the heart. Thanks to their high content in minerals, almonds are also very good for your bones.
 
The cherry on the cake? Their zinc content also prevents skin aging (how convenient!)
