What Happens To Your Body When You Eat Almonds Every Day

The humble almond seems to have taken over the world. The teardrop-shaped nut (which is actually, if we're being picky, not a true nut, but a seed) is not only popular in its original form but, in recent years, has shown its versatility, with almond milk and almond flour now hugely popular dietary alternatives. And, this popularity shows no signs of slowing down. The global almond market, which has grown year-on-year since 2017, is projected to grow by 4.5% between 2021 and 2026, according to Mordor Intelligence.

Whether you enjoy almonds in a trail mix, or you've made the switch to non-dairy and you're using almond milk, flour or butter, it's safe to say almonds are a staple in many diets. But can there be too much of a good thing?

There's no doubt that nuts are one of the healthier snack options you can choose to curb any between-meal hunger pangs. Not only are they good sources of fiber and protein, but studies have shown adding nuts to your diet may reduce your risk of heart disease (via Healthline).

Plant-based and non-dairy milk has vastly grown in popularity over the last few years. Though numerous varieties are available, almond milk is a common choice for vegans and non-vegans alike. But is it a nutritious option to fuel your body?

At one time not so long ago, when you went to the supermarket to buy a nut-based sandwich spread, the only real choice you were faced with (besides the brand) was chunky or smooth. Well, all that has changed over the past few years since most grocers now carry several different types of nut butter in addition to peanut, with almond being the most common.
