This Almond Day, Soha Ali Khan talks about why almonds are a staple nut in her family

As an actress and mother, I often get occupied with a hectic schedule therefore maintaining a healthy snacking habit is very important to me. This is where almonds come in handy. Almonds have always been a staple in my family’s diet. Not only are they delicious snacks, but they also offer a variety of health benefits.

First, almonds are a great snack option for those looking for a healthy alternative to processed foods. They are a natural source of protein and healthy fats, making them a satisfying option for curbing hunger pangs. Additionally, almonds have satiating properties which help me keep full for longer periods. Almonds are my go-to snacking option. I always carry a small box of almonds in my bag, for when I feel hungry. Munching on almonds also helps me feel energized throughout the day. My family and I enjoy snacking on almonds in every form as they taste delicious, be it raw, roasted, or spiced.

• Health Benefits
  In addition to being a great snack option, almonds also offer a variety of health benefits. Recently, I was going through a study that said consuming almonds may help to lower cholesterol levels, improve heart health, and even aid in weight loss. As a mother, I want to ensure that my family is consuming foods that not only taste good but also provide numerous health benefits.

In addition to being beneficial for physical health, almonds are also great for skin health. Almonds are a great source of vitamin E, which can help to protect your skin from damage caused by UV rays and pollution. In fact, I read the other day only that studies have shown that almonds impart anti-aging properties that may benefit skin health.

Finally, almonds are a great option for pre and post-workout snacks. Almonds are a great source of protein, which is important for building and repairing muscles. They also contain healthy fats and fiber, which can help to keep you feeling full and satisfied after a workout. My fitness trainer always emphasizes on eating almonds as they help retain strength after a workout session.

In conclusion, almonds have become a staple nut in my household for their taste, versatility, and numerous health benefits. I encourage others to incorporate almonds into their daily diet as well, for a tasty and nutritious addition to any meal and for overall health.
