Weight Managemant

Early research indicates that the protein and fiber found in almonds helps to reduce the absorption of calories(thats right), thus reducing the desire to ccnsume more calories and helping in weight maintenance. Almonds also contain a high level of unsaturated fat(healthy fat) which supports diets that recommend moderate fat intake like the mediteranean diet.

    yep, almonds = good stuff. I have been eating them right along. Plus they make a nice snack. They are really good for hair and nails too.
