Almonds are among nature’s healthiest nuts and at Superior Nut Company, we’ve been doing our homework on why these nuts are so great for you. If you needed a reason to add more almonds to your diet, try any (or all) of these seven!

1. Almonds are rich sources of vitamin E, which is especially good for maintaing healthy skin and a healthy cardiovascular system. 
2. Almonds are also packed with calcium, phosphorus, iron, and magnesium, which help maintain healthy muscles, teeth, bones, and tissue. 
3. Almonds contain zinc, selenium, copper, and niacin – all of which are essential for a proper balance of minerals in your body. 
4. Want a healthier digestive system? Munch on almonds to get a boost of fiber. 
5. Research shows that almonds protect against cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
6. Almonds contain folic acid, which helps to reduce the incidence of birth defects in newborn babies. Pregnant mothers are encouraged to eat almonds as a healthy, beneficial snack. 
7. Almonds are also shown to help regulate cholesterol and contain healthy fats that can help in joint health, brain development, and overall wellbeing. 

So, how will you be adding more almonds to your diet?
