The benefits of eating almonds
1, promoting skin blood circulation.
Almonds also have a cosmetic effect, which can promote skin microcirculation and make skin ruddy and shiny.
2, moisten the lungs.
Sweet almonds and daily dried almonds tend to moisten and have a certain lung-tonifying effect.
3. lower cholesterol.
Almonds are also rich in flavonoids and polyphenols, which can not only reduce the cholesterol content in human body, but also significantly reduce the risk of heart disease and many chronic diseases.
4, anti-inflammatory, analgesic.
Benzaldehyde produced by the decomposition of amygdalin and other substances has sedative and analgesic effects, so some people in China can use amygdalin to alleviate the pain of patients with advanced liver cancer, and some even do not need to take painkillers.
5, cough, asthma.
Bitter almond contains amygdalin, which can be hydrolyzed by intestinal microbial enzymes or emulsifier contained in bitter almond in vivo to produce trace amounts of hydrocyanic acid and benzaldehyde, which can inhibit respiratory center and achieve the effects of relieving cough and asthma.
6. Anti-tumor.
The anti-tumor effect of almond is mainly because bitter almond contains a bioactive substance-amygdalin, which can enter the blood to kill cancer cells but has no effect on healthy cells, so it can improve the symptoms of patients with advanced cancer and prolong their survival time. At the same time, because it is rich in carotene, it can resist oxidation, prevent free radicals from invading cells and prevent tumors.
7. lose weight.
Studies have found that eating 50 ~100g almonds (about 40~80 almonds) every day will not increase weight. Sweet almonds are not only high in protein, but also rich in fiber, which can reduce people's hunger and help them maintain their weight. Fiber is beneficial to intestinal tissue, which can reduce the incidence of intestinal cancer, cholesterol content and heart disease risk. Therefore, obese people can choose sweet almonds as snacks to control their weight.
