RAW ALMONDS AND CANCER
Raw almonds are being studied for their significant cancer-fighting abilities. Studies have concluded that raw almonds act as a protective factor against the development of carcinogenic cells. Almonds contain nutrients like magnesium and Vitamin E which help in reducing the risk of cancers like pancreatic, colorectal and endometrial cancer (3).
Research of Yale University Cancer performed a clinical trial on 826 participants who regularly consumed raw almonds and demonstrated a 57% improvement in survival rate and 42% disease-free survival. A slew of healthy behaviors including maintaining a healthy weight, increased physical activity, and regulated intake of sugary beverages improved the risk of colon cancer along with consuming almonds (4).
It was also found that almonds provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection which reduces the formation of free radicals and breaks the cell’s signals that promote cancer development. (5)
In addition to all this the fiber content present in almonds helps in the detoxification of the body. It aids efficient digestion and also prevents the risk of colon cancer in the process. (6)
RESEARCH
** EAT AS PER YOUR BODY WEIGHT**
Almonds should be stored in a cool and dark place and should be refrigerated if not planned to be eaten within a few weeks. Till date, research has not provided us with any established scientific data on daily recommendation of almonds. However, being nutrient-dense, it is important to keep track and maintain the portion size of daily consumption. It is advised that an individual can consume a maximum of 23 almonds in a day. (3)
