A handful of almonds a day, the first step toward healthy eating
The imbalance food is the cause of weight gain that often leads to obesity. Recognized as a serious disease that causes severe sometimes fatal complications, obesity is an issue of major public health on a global scale. 32.4% of adults in France are now overweight and this figure is steadily increasing. Children are also increasingly affected: 14.3% of them are affected by obesity (1). Recently, research has shown that the kernel is a good moderator of appetite whose consumption does not lead to weight gain: good news to the approach of spring!
A recent study published in September 2007 in the British Journal of Nutrition shows that daily consumption of 56g almonds does not gaining weight. Promoting also satiety through its wealth of fiber and protein, it allows you to feel full longer. The results show that the kernel is an ideal snack under a regime.
With a portion of 23 almonds a day included in their diet, study participants naturally compensated for the calories provided by the kernel consuming less elsewhere. Moreover, when it is fully consumed with its skin (3), the body absorbs a portion of fat it contains. Contrary to what one thinks, the kernel provides therefore fewer calories.
Nutritionist and practitioner committed in the service of endocrinology metabolism Pitié-Salpêtrière in Paris, which specializes in the care of obesity in adults and young and management turmoil eating behavior explains: "Until now, it avoided consume almonds thinking they had a link with weight gain. This study demonstrates the opposite today. Add almonds to food can also increase the intake of some micronutrients, including vitamin E and magnesium.
