Almonds are high in monounsaturated fat (good fat) which may help you reduce your risk of heart disease(1).
Eating almonds can lower LDL or “bad” cholesterol levels, helping you maintain healthy cholesterol levels which in turn helps keep your heart healthy.
Adding almonds to your diet may help reduce wrinkles. Almonds are high in vitamin E which may aid in the protection of cells from oxidative stress, put more simply, aging(2,3,4).
