Bodybuilders and Almonds
Almonds are being recognized to help control weight due to the fact if you chew almonds 25 times instead of 40 times before swallowing them your caloric intake will be less. That’s right chew less, fewer calories in your body because the fat in almonds is not absorbed because they are still trapped in the unbroken almond cells.
The antioxidants in almonds is another recognized benefit due to the fact they protect the body from free radical damage — preventing oxidation of cellular lipids and DNA — which means reduce risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer.
One handful of almonds, one-ounce or 160 calories, is a wonderful and quick source of vitamin E, magnesium, protein and fiber and the handful offers iron, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and monounsaturated fat.
