Observed on April 7th every year, World Health Day is a global awareness day that aims to promote healthy living and increasing awareness of health issues across the globe. This year’s theme being “Health For All” the emphasis has been laid on improving public health worldwide.
Almonds are an important part of a healthy diet, as they are high in nutrients such as fiber, protein, healthy fats, vitamin E, magnesium, and potassium. Additionally, they are a source of zinc, copper, folate, and iron, which help in boosting immunity. Studies have shown that including almonds in a balanced diet can improve heart health, lower cholesterol levels, manage blood sugar levels, and promote weight management.
These benefits make almonds an excellent choice for those looking to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Commenting on the occasion of World Health Day, Ritika Samaddar, Regional Head – Dietetics, Max Healthcare, Delhi, “In fact, a study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that consuming 43 grams of dry-roasted, lightly salted almonds every day reduced hunger and improved dietary vitamin E and monounsaturated (“good”) fat intake without increasing body weight .”
