Health Benefits of Almonds

Almonds either roasted, raw, or in an almond butter form will help reduce LDL, or bad cholesterol. And if you can, keep the skins. Almond skins contain flavonoid compounds what work synergistically with vitamin E from the almond itself, to help prevent LDL, of bad cholesterol, from oxidizing. Oxidation of LDL cholesterol is one of the steps to producing plaque formation and clogged arteries.
