Almonds are nature's capsules that help our body fight cancer and fight free radicals. Packed with flavonoids (plant metabolites that are known for their anti-oxidative properties), almonds taste good too.
In a recently conducted study, it was proven that almonds also reduce cholesterol levels in the body. Whether you love roasted, salted almonds or just raw almonds, they help lower low density lipoprotein cholesterol which is essential for a healthy heart but unfortunately are ineffective against high density lipoprotein cholesterol and blood pressure. It's better to avoid the salted ones though, because if the almonds are helping you, the excess salt isn't.
