HEALTH BENEFITS

I took an interest in Almonds because of their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These properties come from the bioactive compounds contained in the Almonds, specifically the nutrients, Vitamin E and Magnesium, the omega-3 fatty acid ALA, and a variety of polyphenols.

HOW I USE ALMONDS

As a woman with Multiple Sclerosis (MS),I use Almonds to help manage my MS. When I discovered that inflammation causes MS relapses, with relapses being the worsening of current or creation of new MS symptoms, I incorporated Almonds into my beneficial diet to do the following:

• Use their anti-inflammatory properties to help manage inflammation.
• Use their antioxidant properties to protect the cells of the body from oxidative stress, which is linked to disease, a major source of inflammation.

So, Almonds help manage inflammation and a major source of inflammation.

And managing inflammation, helps manage my MS.

PREFERENCES

I prefer to use raw Almonds and Almond Milk.

RECIPES

I use Almond Milk in my ARMOR PLATED COFFEE.

HAVE NUTS HELPED ME?

Yes. I believe Almonds have contributed to the anti-inflammatory nature of my beneficial diet.

I have not witnessed or identified any other benefits, but i look forward to seeing what the future brings.

CAUTION

Due to the ever possible occurrence of product contamination, I always double check my sources and check ingredient lists before trying a new item.

Allergic reactions can happen to anyone, so I do my research and keep my eyes open to any potentially dangerous reactions, especially drug interactions, when I try anything new.

Ingesting large amounts of anything can be harmful, so I always consume in moderation.
