HEALTH NOTE - Eat Your Almonds

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health...
3 John 1:2

"Opt for almonds, especially in the fall and winter, when cold and flu prevalence is high. 
Q: Why? 
A: Almonds have nearly everything required by the "anti-cold diet". They are rich in vitamin E, folic acid, polyphenols, and unsaturated fatty acids. And, that's not all.
Vitamin E, besides being a potent anti-inflammatory, is also a powerful antioxidant. 
It means almonds are a food that "prolongs youth". 
Vitamin E safeguards cellular components from damage and slows skin aging processes. Hence, it's little wonder that almond oil, which maintains skin firmness and combats wrinkles, is often derived from almonds
As stated on the dietto.pl website, consuming 1.3 ounces (roughly one handful) of almonds daily results in a 4 percent reduction in "bad" cholesterol. Consuming two handfuls equates to a reduction of up to 9.4 percent."
