Weight Management With Almonds

By Chetan Chopra


In today's world, we would all want at least few hours to devote to ourselves completely. We would all like to wake up early in the morning to exercise; eat healthy food and strive towards inculcating a lifestyle that keeps us fit. However, in the real world, even 24 hours in a day is not enough time to fit in such "luxuries".

However, with the intense stressful lifestyles that we all live, whether as a homemaker or a working professional, taking care of the health of oneself and our loved ones has become impossible. With the difficulty growing, managing weight has also become a huge challenge nowadays.

While managing weight could seem sort of an intimidating task to several of you, this method by introducing basic lifestyle changes can help adopt a healthy lifestyle. The method of opting for a healthy snacking habit... One such habit is snacking on almonds - a great supply of Vitamin E, fiber and lots of alternative necessary nutrients.

* Feel "full" with almonds - Almonds are a satiating food item for weight watchers as they are high in fiber and protein. Hence, consuming these nuts, leave you feeling full and may dissuade you from reaching for unhealthy food, helping in maintaining weight, staying fit and keeping energy levels up

* Research Substantiation - A recent study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that study participants consuming 43 grams of dry-roasted, lightly salted almonds every day experienced reduced hunger and improved dietary vitamin E and monounsaturated ("good") fat intake without increasing body weight.
