How Mamra Almonds Protect the Heart
Mamra Almonds contain a remarkably high concentration of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs)—the same heart-healthy fats found in extra virgin olive oil. MUFAs have been clinically proven to lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or 'bad' cholesterol) while maintaining or increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or 'good' cholesterol).
They are also exceptionally rich in Vitamin E, a potent fat-soluble antioxidant. Vitamin E stops the oxidation process of cholesterol in the bloodstream. Oxidized cholesterol is what sticks to artery walls and causes plaque buildup (atherosclerosis).
Furthermore, the arginine amino acid in Mamra almonds helps the body produce nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels, improves blood flow, and naturally regulates high blood pressure.
