Yummy Almonds! What is it about almonds that’s so great? Almonds contain nutrients that improve complexion, support cardiovascular system health, and work to prevent cancer.  It’s true, just one ounce of almonds contains over 1/3 of your suggested daily intake of the antioxidant vitamin E. They also contain magnesium, calcium, potassium, dietary fiber, as well as important flavonoids, including quercetin and kaempferol. 

Almonds have also been shown to help with weight control and reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.  Just recently I made the switch from peanut butter to almond butter—Love it, and it’s great for my health, too.
