Although almonds are high in fat, they carry a vast amount of nutrients, such as fiber, protein, monounsaturated fat, which all help in the reduction of an individual's risk of developing heart disease. Packed with vitamin E, they help the body protect itself against ultraviolet light damage and Alzheimer's disease. Manganese helps the body create strong bones as well as regulating blood sugar. Magnesium helps the function of organs, muscles, nerve function, blood glucose control, and the regulation of blood pressure. The flavonoids contained in the skin of the almonds act as an antioxidant and work together with vitamin E to help individuals age well. Although almonds are high in fat, the body is not able to absorb the amount of fat they contain as it is too difficult to break down.
