Almonds Are Good For Your Heart
The Journal of Nutrition has published a study that shows eating almonds may play a role in avoiding blood sugar spikes after consuming a carbohydrate-rich meal of foods that raise blood sugar levels. In addition, eating almonds helps prevent oxidative stress.
“We found that eating almonds can have a significant impact in blunting the gylcemic and insulin responses of the body when fed with a carbohydrate meal,” said co-author Dr. Cyril Kendall from the University of Toronto.
The study also indicated that almonds may have an impact on weight management as well as heart health. People with elevated blood sugar levels can also have elevated feeling of hunger and eat more leading to increased weight.
