ALMOND-NUT FOR NUTRITION



















Almonds are high in fibre,but low in calories.An excellent way to stay fit is to choose our calories wisely. It is important to look at the nutrient value we get from the calories we consume,especially limiting the intake of empty calories.Incorporating almonds into a diet may promote the natural displacement of less nutrient-dense foods,making the overall diet better.Emerging research suggests that the mono unsaturated fat,protein and dietary fibre in almond may have a satiating effect,helping to curb one's appetite and,in turn reduce overeating.
While utilising the properties of almonds to lose weight, the basic principles of striking a balance between energy intake and energy expenditure should be maintained. Almonds should be used as the replacement and not as an addition to the diet.
Almonds are tasty,satisfying and versatile.Almonds have a toasty crunch that's perfect for any time of the day,and for many other foods.Maintaining a balanced diet,with a handful of almonds included, we save the agony of starving ourself, and have the joy of a healthy body and a healthy lifestyle.
