Relatively low in calories, almonds are a great choice for keeping your bones healthy since they have a substantial amount of calcium and magnesium. They are also a good source of zinc and very rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps fight dangerous inflammation and possibly health conditions such as lung cancer and age-related cognitive decline.

Almonds have more fibre, protein, and other nutrients than any other nuts, they may even be good for your heart. Toasting improves their rather chewy texture and mild flavour. Sliced or slivered almonds add an elegant touch to everyday green beans, and ground almonds make a delicious nut butter and they are also the basis of marzipan.

In addition to their beneficial effects on lowering cholesterol and heart disease, almonds may help fight different types of cancer.
