Tear-Shaped Nuts

I have decided to dedicate this post to the many benefits of tear-shaped nuts!

As many of you may know tear-shaped nuts or almonds are a great source of nutrition.  They are a great source of nutrients.  These healthy nutrients include, fiber, riboflavin, magnesium and calcium. Believe it or not just a single serving of nuts (about 7 almonds) has more calcium than any other type of nut with a whopping total of 22 milligrams.  Nuts can even help to lower your blood cholesterol levels because they contain a healthier non-saturated kind of fat, which also make them great for your heart!  

One more thing that makes consuming almonds very beneficial is that they can even help to prevent blood clots.  This is important especially for women who are smokers who also take birth control because blood clots can be a very common occurrence to women in this situation.  Since this can be very dangerous it is important that women especially in this situation try to reduce their risk of loosing their lives to a blood clot.

So next time you are at the grocery store make sure you add almonds to your grocery list and you will be on your way to preventing diseases and loading up on your daily dose of nutrients!

If you shop at a local whole foods, make sure that you buy almonds, that are not loaded with sugars and salts to enhance this flavor.  Doing this could actually hinder you more then it could help to keep you healthy.
