7.Good for Gut Health
Almonds can help feed healthy gut bacteria like bifidobacteria and lactobacillus. These bacteria help you digest fiber, prevent infections, and put out important healthy chemicals.
8.“Bad” Cholesterol Buster
Almonds come packed with plant sterols, which are compounds that prevent your body from absorbing cholesterol. One-third cup of almonds a day, especially when you swap them for a less healthy snack choice, lowers your levels of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol.
