Food of the Day - Almonds Almonds are one of the best nuts to incorporate into your diet. They are loaded with monounsaturated fats, the healthy fats found in olive oil and avocados. And don’t worry about this high fat food packing on the pounds. In fact, almonds have been shown to aid in weight loss. A study published in the International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic Disorders suggested that an almond-enriched low calorie diet can help overweight individuals shed pounds more effectively than a low calorie diet high in complex carbohydrates. Also, almonds are the only nut, and one of the few proteins, that are alkaline forming when metabolized. Maintaining an alkaline body chemistry is important for proper immune function, maintaining energy levels, and weight regulation.
