Almonds are a type of nuts. Almonds contain proteins and minerals . Due to their relatively high fat content, however, most nuts, including almonds, are also relatively high in calories, but eating almonds, even if high in calories, may make you feel full. Several human and animal studies that were conducted in the last few years have found that replacing animal fat in the diet with either almonds or almond oil produced reductions in total cholesterol levels, low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and triglycerides. In addition, levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDL), almonds, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease.”
