A Handful of Almonds

A Handful of Almonds

A handful of almonds daily has been shown to reduce the risk of a cardiovascular event by 18%. Almonds are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids which help to keep blood vessels soft and elastic. Remember, nuts are high in  calories, so eat them in moderation. At the end of the day, reach for a glass of red wine to boost high density lipoproteins or the “good” cholesterol. Think of it as a treat for the oat bran eaten for breakfast!
