Even when I follow a strict LCHF lifestyle I make sure I eat a small handful of almonds every day. Not just because they are delicious and they contain lots of healthy fat, but because almonds have so many other benefits to our health: Almonds alkalize your body (balance the ph level). When your body is not alkaline enough, you risk osteoporosis, gain weight, get low energy and poor immune function.

In addition to healthy fats and vitamin E, a quarter-cup of almonds contains 62 mg of magnesium plus 162 mg of potassium.

Almonds also contain riboflavin and L-carnitine, nutrients that boost brain activity and may also reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

With these many benefits of eating almonds there are no reasons for not eating them. go nuts! preferably almonds. Here is an excellent choice of almonds.
