The almond is one of the top 10 foods according to Medical News Today.
Apples are noted for lowering cholesterol levels, and almonds can boast the same benefit. Almonds have >90% unsaturated fatty acids, which makes it a heart healthy snack.
Further, when incorporated in a healthy diet they have even more health benefits - such as maintaining a healthy weight and protecting against heart disease and cancer.
So eat up - 23 almonds to a serving for better health.
