Almonds can be divided into bitter almond (northern apricot) and sweet almond (southern apricot). The former is usually used as Chinese medicine, which is toxic and should be used under the guidance of Chinese medicine. However, sweet almonds are food-grade, with rich nutrition and good health care effect, which should not be underestimated.
Almonds contain no cholesterol, are antioxidant, and regulate blood lipid and blood pressure.
Chen Baijun, a nutritionist in the new feeding team of China Medical University, said that sweet almonds are rich in vitamin E, which can help the body to resist oxidation, eliminate excessive free radicals and make the body "young". In addition, sweet almonds are also rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, which can regulate blood lipids and are very suitable for sedentary office workers. Moreover, sweet almond belongs to vegetable oil, which contains no cholesterol at all and is beneficial to cardiovascular health.
Sedentary office workers are very suitable for drinking almond milk to help regulate blood pressure and blood lipid content. Sweet almonds are also rich in minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which helps to control blood pressure. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition this year pointed out that sweet almonds help regulate blood pressure. However, remind the public that sweet almonds belong to oils and fats. About 6 sweet almonds are equal to one serving of oil, and the calorie is about 45 calories. Proper consumption is beneficial to health.
