Almond Day

Almonds. 
You should eat them.
They are proven to be
the most healthy
and nutritious of all nuts
They can be eaten in salads,
desserts or used in milkshakes



They are good for
respiratory disorders,
constipation, coughs, colds,
diabetes, anaemia
and heart problems
They help cure teeth,
hair and skin problems
Almonds are also
“brain” food


They help control cholesterol
Their vitamin C content
acts as an antioxidant
and helps lower blood pressure
Almonds can help
to prevent cancer
They help with weight loss


They really do seem
to be a wonder-food!
And, all you need...
is two or three
almonds a day!
 On Almond Day...
it’s time to start
a new daily eating habit!

Pictures from here and here.

Perfect timing! 
I ate three almonds
from my almond tree today! 
Plucked them off the branch,
ripped the shells open
and popped them
into my mouth! 
It doesn’t get much better
than that!
(especially on Almond Day!)
