Advantages and disadvantages of almond

Almonds are a substantial source of both vitamin E and monounsaturated fat (one of the two "good" fats that reduce LDL cholesterol). Studies have shown that almonds can improve one's complexion, facilitate the movement of food through one's colon, and help to prevent cancer.

Additionally, ayurvedic medicine purports that almonds nourish the brain and nervous system, boosting both longevity and intellectual level.
