LifeLike Almond natural

Product description LifeLike Almond natural

One handful of almonds, weighing less than 30 grams (the recommended daily allowance of almonds to eat), contains up to 20 different flavonoids, substances that help prevent the development of heart and blood vessel disease. It has even been reported that these flavonoids, when present in sufficient quantities in the diet, can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease by up to 22%.

The same amount of almonds also contains 9 grams of monounsaturated fats and 3.5 grams of polyunsaturated fats, which are also known to help protect against the development of heart and blood vessel disease and atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) in general. There are also 3.5 grams of fibre in one handful of almonds. It is known that if we have sufficient fibre intake, our risk of developing heart and blood vessel disease is 40% lower compared to people who have little fibre.

Thirty grams of almonds also contain 75 mg of calcium, 200 mg of potassium and 76 mg of magnesium. The intake of these substances is associated with lower blood pressure, and almonds actually help to lower higher blood pressure and prevent the development of arterial hypertension. Last but not least, almonds contain plant sterols (called phytosterols), which prevent the absorption of cholesterol from the digestive tract. A sufficient intake of these phytosterols in the diet can reduce blood cholesterol by up to 10%.
