Almond nuts make great snacks and are
convenient enough to carry in my bag and have while I am at work, in the
classroom or on the go. Not only do they taste great, they are packed with many
health-benefitting nutrients and vitamins. Just a small handful, about 30-40 grams
will provide me with some protein and a lot healthy fats to satisfy some of my dietary
requirements for training. They also contain serotonin which helps suppress
huger so I don’t feel hungry. I choose to snack on nuts because I can consume them
easily and quickly when I am busy.
Almond nuts have long been revered as a
symbol of wellness and health and are available all year round. While buying, look for the nuts that feature bright brown colours, compact and uniform in size, and feel heavy in hand. I choose almond nuts over the others because they offer more nutrition and are better for your cholesterol than the others. When buying then make sure they aren't roasted which cause them to lose their inherent values due to oxidisation which takes place from roasting.
These nuts are calorie dense, as with most foods, almonds are good for you or healthy, but only if you consume the right amounts. Otherwise, the nutrition value of almonds can work against you instead of for you. Make sure to keep your consumption of almond nuts in check, not much more than one ounce.
