If we compare our body to a castle, the free radicals that are constantly being generated due to people’s aging, bad environment and living habits are the invaders who wantonly destroy the castle. American Almond is rich in vitamin E and flavonoid antioxidants. It is a natural, high-quality antioxidant food that helps us to strengthen the “castle”. Professor Chen Junshi said that the large almond is a nutrient-intensive nut, and one of the most commendable is that it is one of the foods with the highest vitamin E content. A large almond (about 23 grains, 28 grams) can provide half of the vitamin E that the human body needs a day. Vitamin E has been proven to be a powerful antioxidant that can reduce the risk of many chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer. It can also enhance immunity and slow down aging.

In addition, the cell wall of a large almond constitutes a physical barrier that impedes the digestion and absorption of part of the fat.
