UNBELIEVABLE BENEFITS OF ALMOND OIL



Almonds aren't just for snacking, it can be very beneficial for your health as well as skin and hair! They are commonly referred to as nuts but actually they are just seeds in an almond fruit!
Ancient Chinese and Ayurvedic practices used almond oil for centuries to help soothe and soften the skin.

Almond oil contains


  • magnesium
  • zinc
  • potassium
  • vitamin A, B, D, E
  • calcium
  • Omega 3 fatty acids
  • linoleic acid (protects from UV radiation)
  • proteins

They also have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, so they are good for health if ingested and for skin and hair as well.

What are the benefits of almond oil on health?

Well there are 2 types of almond oil, refined and un-refined.

Unrefined is a better choice for health as refining almond oil destroys certain nutrients. So when we're talking about almond oil we're talking about the unrefined almond oil.

Almond oil is a good source of antioxidant vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids which have many health benefits.
Almond reduces risk of heart disease and obesity as it is rich in unsaturated fatty acids,
monounsaturated fatty acids in almond oil may help lower blood pressure.
High intakes of vitamin E can also lower the risk of heart disease.

Replacing carbs with unsaturated fats has been shown to lower blood sugar levels.
A diet rich in healthy fats may help you lose weight too, they decreased the body fat and promote weight loss (definitely should give it a try!)
