Beneficial Oils: Almond Oil
I haven't quite come across any other ingredient than almonds that play such a holistic role in our daily lives. These brown,
oval-shaped nuts don a role that suffices and fits most of our everyday
concerns. Almonds
are an all-rounder; from making your food more delectable, flavourful
and crunchier, to providing you the much needed nutrition boost to
combat various ailments. When it comes to incorporating them into
cooking, you can use them to create exquisite bakes or simple dishes
too. Toss them into your Salads dunk them in your batches of cookies and brownies, or simply blend them along with shakes and smoothies, almonds are fuss-free and hassle-free.
When
I say that these nuts play a holistic role, I mean to draw your
attention to the goodness of almonds for our health. When added to our
regular diet, almonds and its by-products prove to be equally beneficial
not only for our well-being but beauty as well. One of our previous
articles talked about the latest rage in the fitness circle -almond milk.
Not only is it an excellent option for vegans and those intolerant
towards lactose, it is enriched with essential nutrients and minerals
that fortify the body and also aid in weight management. No wonder, even
celebrities can't help but vouch for its wonderful properties. "If I don't have a shake, I'll just have some toast and poached eggs with some avocado. Or millet cereal with almond milk and bananas - it's really yummy, and you can get it hot for the winter months," - Jennifer Aniston.
