Can adding almonds to your diet improve your cardiovascular health?


According to a study conducted by researchers from Aston University and published in the journal Free Radical Research, eating a diet rich in almonds improves blood vessel health and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.

"Our study confirms that almonds are a superfood," lead researcher Helen Griffiths said. "Previous studies have shown that they keep your heart healthy, but our research proves that it isn't too late to introduce them into your diet -- adding even a handful (around 50g) every day for a short period can help. You could replace a daytime snack with a bag of almonds or add them to your regular meals like porridge or muesli to help reduce your risk of heart problems."
