Almond milk is a popular drink consumed by individuals around the world. Obtained from almonds, this plant-based milk is enjoyed for its delicious taste, high levels of nutrition and as an alternative to milk and other dairy products. When consuming almond milk, try to consume varieties that are unsweetened, as they can be quite high in calories and sugar content. Now, lets discuss some of the amazing health benefits of consuming almond milk consistently.
1. As mentioned previously, almond milk is a great source of nutrition and contains many different vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. It is a good source of potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium, vitamin B6, niacin and riboflavin. As well, it contains food amounts of fibre and is quite low in calories.
2. Consuming almond milk regularly can also improve heart health and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. In fact, studies have shown that consuming almond milk can reduce the risk of heart disease. Unlike many diary products, it contains no cholesterol and can help to regulate cholesterol levels. Also, due to its healthy levels of potassium and magnesium, it can help to reduce tension and strain on the heart while also acting as a vasodilator.
3. Surprising to some, but almond milk can also help to strengthen bones. This is often attributed to the good levels of calcium it contains, which is vital for maintaining the health of our bones. Drinking almond milk can also promote healthy bone growth while also reducing the risk of certain bone ailments, such as osteoporosis. Almond milk enriched with vitamin D can also help to strengthen the bones.
4. It can also help to promote the overall health of our skin due to the good levels of vitamin E it contains. Almonds are a great source of vitamin E, with just a one ounce serving containing about 35% of the daily recommended value. Vitamin E is important for skin health. It can help to nourish the skin, and along with other nutrients and antioxidants in almond milk, can reduce skin damaging free radicals and oxidative stress.
5. Lastly, consuming almond milk consistently can help to boost immunity and reduce inflammation. This is because it is an excellent source of antioxidant compounds such as vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin A. These antioxidants, along with other healthy compounds work to reduce free radicals and other toxins that can compromise our immune system and lead to disease. As well, varieties with vitamin D can also help to promote proper immune system functioning.
