Almonds - A Superfood

Choose almonds and you get a Superfood that delivers super results, including natural cures to major dis-ease. Superfoods are whole foods found naturally in nature - preferably organic and raw. A hand-full a day assures wellness in many areas.

Almonds can dramatically decrease your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer,

reduce your weight (without hunger)

and add nutrition (vitamin e) and natural oils that reduce the signs of aging like wrinkles and sagging skin.

What's not to like?

Health is a choice you make every day - with every bite you eat.

Can almonds save your life?

Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States. Studies involving more than 220,000 participants show that diets that include a handful of almonds a day help significantly to reduce the risk of heart disease, the leading killer of both men and women. Almonds saved the lives of over half those studied.

Why? Because raw almonds contain powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatories and heart disease is an inflammatory condition.

Health and maintaining wellness is a choice you make every day, with every meal and snack you eat. Superfoods, like almonds, are foods that have been used for centuries for their nutrition and healing properties.

Almonds in ancient history

Ancient cultures carved symbols in stone, on temples and on pottery. They considered the almond a fertility gift from the Gods.

The Romans gave them to newlyweds to ensure large healthy families.

Almonds have been grown in southern California over 100 years, and are a major crop today.

Native natural diets point the way to healthy eating, providing nutritious, low calorie, and high protein staples - with curative properties too.

New scientific discoveries

It is only recently that the new scientific discoveries show what your ancestors knew to be true. Superfoods have the ability to sustain your energy and restore your health and vitality daily, but especially after an illness or physical set-back.

Did you know that it only takes a handful a day (about 2 ounces) to lower your risk of heart attack and diabetes?

That is if almonds are your primary source of fat.

The healthy choice is to cut out all other fats (but olive oil) and replace them with almonds.

Here's why.


Many studies in the last fifteen years show exactly how almonds are beneficial. Some of the results - like weight loss - were not expected.

Fast acting benefits

The monounsaturated fats in almonds begin lowering your total cholesterol within a week or so.

More important - they also lower the LDL cholesterol, or the "bad" cholesterol that is harmful to your heart, arteries and immune system.

Almonds also lower your risk for gallstones. By lowering total cholesterol, they help the body to control the amount of LDL cholesterol that enters your gallbladder. That lowers the risk of cholesterol crystallizing into gallstones.

Snack your way to a healthy heart

Make almonds your 'snack of choice.' Only a half-cup can return amazing health benefits naturally. In several studies almonds lowered heart problems by more than 50%. It's a natural cure that works - better than expensive supplements, that may not even be absorbed into your body's system.

If you eat between one and three ounces, several times a week, you can lower your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol: Without lowering the HDL, or good cholesterol.

Make that raw, organic - and fresh

The researchers also found a surprise benefit.

Almond's heart-healthy nutritional benefits

The nutritional profile of 4 ounces (half-cup) raw almonds:

• 21+ grams of protein


• 12 grams of fiber


• 275 milligrams of calcium -
  almost half the RDA and absorbed by your system.


• 750 milligrams of potassium -
  reduce blood pressure


• 3.5 milligrams of zinc


• 275 milligrams of vitamin E -
  a potent antioxidant which helps prevent the fatty buildup in the arteries.


• Additional minerals vary in amounts,
  like magnesium which reduce blood pressure
  and assists with the absorption of calcium.


• The thin brown coating is rich in antioxidants -- reducing the risk of heart disease.

Why take the chance? Reverse your body's circulation build-up or your heart's vulnerability to disease.

"What makes me so certain that the natural human lifespan is far in excessof the actual one is this.

Among all my autopsies (and I have performed over 1000), I have never seen a person who died of old age.

In fact, I do not think that anyone has ever died of old age yet.

We invariably die because one vital part has worn out too early in proportion to the rest of the body."

Dr. Hans Selye

Aging does not mean decline. No one dies of aging - they die of stress induced dis-ease that finally wears down an important body function. Heart disease is the number one killer: Your diet is the cure. Indulging in stress is the culprit behind dis-ease. All death is suicide - albeit slow - it is a choice.

Allopathic prescription drugs are the number one cause of death in the US. Heart disease is THE next major killer of both men and women.

Increasing blood flow helps to unclog the arteries. The amino acid helps to prevent deposits of cholesterol in the arteries.

Other foods, like red meat and dairy products also contain arginine, but almonds contain more. Almonds have about 3 grams of arginine per 4 ounces. Beef cuts like top sirloin, measure less than two grams for the same quantity. Unless the meats are organic, other toxic hormones and pesticide residue in the fats cancels out the benefit of arginine.

Almonds are a perfect "travel" food and a great quick convenient snack

Include heart-healthy almonds every day - here's how.

• Add almonds to cereal, fruit or add raw organic almond butter to toast in the morning.


• Add almonds to sandwich "fillings" and salads, to soups and stews.


• Blend up a fruit or veggie smoothie and add almonds. Add to ice cream or to granola and top pancakes or french toast.


• Cook with almonds for the taste, but heat destroys most of the nutrients. Add almonds to rice pudding, pies, cookies and cakes.

Health and vitality build with every meal - and you choose fresh every day.

What's all the talk about Superfoods and what works?

A Quick Good Fortune Insight: Fruits, nuts and vegetables afford many, many health benefits - and each has something unique they contribute to a healthy diet. Everyone selling a product finds the benefits and then claims "superfood" status. That dilutes the concept - once everything is "super" - then nothing stands out.

Superfoods are a natural whole food. There are some foods like almonds, honey, dates and green tea that are on every "superfood" list. Some foods are cured or treated to be edible, including olives and olive oil. These are all ancient treasures. Cultures relied on them for survival, health and nutrition - and on their curative properties too.

Superfood Honey and Bee Pollen can instantly build energy and clear your mind. Raw honey and pollen contain all essential minerals, B complex, amino acids, enzymes; and can prevent cancer and Alzheimer's. Try this natural cure for allergies or the traditional home remedies including cinnamon. Begin with a natural remedy and make natural health and wellness your lifestyle.

In addition, there are some foods that have recently been proven to also provide a wide range of benefits, including blueberries, Acai, tomatoes, and turkey.

Some foods lower or help regulate blood sugar levels -- necessary in our sugar-rich society. Balancing blood sugar helps slow the aging process, wrinkles; and prevents diabetes, obesity and related degenerative diseases.

You don't need specific Superfoods for specific ailments. A healthy diet incorporating a variety of Superfoods, fruits and vegetables helps to maintain your weight, fight disease, and prolong your life.

Prove it to yourself and make healthy information your own truth

Test out a Superfood like almonds for a month and see how it feels and works with your system. Keep in mind that your old habits will dominate for 21 days, and you cannot make a good mindful choice until you have built a new healthy habit. Only then can you see how much it adds to your overall wellness or well-being and health.

Follow your own inspiration and see what works best for you.
