Amazing Almond Milk Benefits

In my previous post where I discussed about almond in general, I didn’t mention much about almond milk benefits because I had wanted it on a separate page.

 Almond milk as one of the popular products of almond is very important since it is lactose-free and individuals with lactose intolerance take it as the tasty and healthy alternative to cow’s milk.

However, others love its nutty flavour.  In essence, beyond its taste, almond milk benefits are quite enormous.

Additionally, minerals, antioxidants and vitamins found in almond milk provide impressive and important health benefits.

Almond milk is a nutritional and quiet refreshing beverage which is highly recommended for children.

Nutritional value 

Almond milk is enriched with vitamin E which is one of the most important antioxidants. This vitamin helps lower one’s risk of serious conditions such as cancer, stroke and heart disease.

Almond milk is an excellent source of the following

• Calcium
• Iron
• Phosphorous
• Copper
• Magnesium
• Manganese

The milk may not contain all natural key ingredients, however, most nutritional value of almond milk comes from the ones that have been fortified with nutrients such as phosphorus which provides energy in greater levels and for bone health as well as vitamin D.

Helpful and amazing Almond Milk Benefits

As stated above, almond milk benefits are very impressive and enormous.  The following are some of the almond benefits discussed here.  They include

1. low in calories
2. Good for bone building
3. Helps to slow down progress of certain diseases
4. Great source of antioxidants
5. A good magnesium source
6. helpful in terms of lactose intolerance

 Low in calories

Almond milk that has not been sweetened is quite low in carbohydrates and sugar and accounts for about 50% to 80% fewer calories compared to cow milk.

However, it still remains rich in flavour.  For this, one of the almond milk benefits is that it cannot spike blood sugar.

 Good for bone building

Almond milk found in retail stores are mostly calcium fortified.  This is because bone health is linked with calcium since the calcium makes available most hard structures found in bones.

 To keep the bones stronger, getting enough calcium is key because it helps fight against osteoporosis.

 Helps to slow down progress of cognitive diseases

Vitamin is a powerful antioxidant which helps our brain.  Getting enough of this vitamin helps to lower risk of diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.

 Great source of antioxidants

 It is imperative to get enough antioxidants so just fight or reduce damage effects from free radicals. The effects of free radicals are very disastrous to cells and this leads to the ageing and cancer. Almond milk benefits are also seen in its high antioxidant levels

 Source of Magnesium

This mineral is needed to manage blood sugar levels and also to make use of energy in the body. Almond milk is highly rich in magnesium

Lactose intolerance

Since it does not contain lactose, it is highly recommended for people with lactose intolerance.  If any recipe calls for animal milk, almond milk can be used.

Infantile eczema and diarrhoea

For a large number of cases regarding infant allergies manifested by eczema and skin rashes, cow’s milk is responsible.

However, serious infantile diarrhoea, flatulence, disorders of intestine, And the other digestive disorders respond very well to almond milk instead of cow’s milk.

The only disadvantage of almond milk for children is that, it contains enormous proteins, fat and sugars, it makes available less calcium than  mothers milk or cow’s milk.

Excess blood cholesterol

 It is a good thing that almond milk contains no cholesterol but quiet rich in unsaturated fatty acids. As a result of these, it is particularly beneficial in cases of excess fat in the blood and whenever a low cholesterol diet is required.

 Lactating mothers

It is recommended to lactating mothers because of its effect in increasing the production of milk.

Infancy and periods of growth

As a refreshing beverage, almond milk is also rich in calories and nutrients much more appropriate for children than most of the soft drinks that they usually drink.

It is quite good for nervous children and one of the almond milk benefit is that, it is highly recommended for those kids with concentration problems since its richness in linoleic acid and phosphorus promotes mental performance.
