Almonds May Improve Immune Health
May 20th, 2009 by Nina Thompson, ARNP
Almonds appear to enhance immune health and reduce inflammation, according to researchers from the Institute of Food Research, Norwich, UK. The results of their research were presented Tuesday at the annual meeting of the American Society for Microbiology in Philadelphia.
Almonds have also been found to be a high-fiber food and are quite heart healthy. They’re a good snack with a lot of nutrition packed into a convenient package. About a handful of almonds provides an excellent source of vitamin E, magnesium, fiber, monounsaturated fat, protein, potassium, calcium, phosphorous, and iron.
