Many people eat almonds daily, but very few know the importance of it. Almond is rich
source of Vitamin E, Manganese, Fats and Riboflavin.
Following are the some nutritive value of almond:
100 grams of almond contains
Fats 58.9 grams
Vitamin E- 26.2mg
Riboflavin (vitamin B2)-1.014 mg
Manganese -2.285 mg
Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant and has an ability to modulate immune functions.
Deficiency of this crucial immune booster is not uncommon. In vitamin E deficiency most
of the immune parameters show a downward trend, which is associated with increased
infectious diseases and the incidence of tumors.
In contrast, vitamin E supplementation has various beneficial effects on the immune
system. This quality of E may be harnessed in autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus where over exuberant immune responses need to be
restrained.
Manganese: Supplementation of manganese has been shown to enhance natural killer
cell and macrophage activity (ability to eat foreign bodies and infectious micro organism)
Many of us get scared when we see Fat value of almonds. But this value is for 100 grams
of almond. In 100 grams we get almost 23-24 almonds. So if you are eating 2 4 almonds a day it will give you around 4 8 grams of healthy fats. Yes healthy fats.
Almonds are good to increase your HDL value which is your good cholesterol. These
cholesterols are needed for healing process of your body. Viruses or bacteria damage
many tissues in our body, and this tissue damage is healed by this cholesterol.
Riboflavin also helps to enhance natural immunity by strengthening the antibody
reserves and by reinforcing the defense system against infections.
Taking 2 4 almonds daily will complete your daily requirement of Vitamin E, manganese
and riboflavin
