National Almond Day – February 16th
Saturday is National Almond Day. This pointed nut deserves its own day since it serves up a nutritional punch! Here are some of its benefits:
-
High in monounsaturated fats to help promote heart health
-
High in fiber – According to MayoClinic.com, dietary fiber not only keeps your digestive system running smoothly but also helps lower cholesterol and stabilizes blood sugar
-
High in protein – Along with their significant amount of fiber, the protein in almonds helps control hunger
-
High in manganese, copper and riboflavin to help in energy production
