Treat your heart right with almonds.
Heart Health
Almonds’ heart-smart benefits are meaningful for just about everyone, especially since cardiovascular disease holds the spot as the leading cause of death among men and women in the U.S.
Almonds are cholesterol-free, and have only 1 gram of saturated fat and 13 grams of unsaturated fat per one-ounce serving. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, “Scientific evidence suggests, but does not prove, that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as almonds, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease.”
The American Heart Association® has certified whole almonds to display the sought-after Heart-Check mark. Now it’s easy for everyone out there to identify almonds as a heart-smart option.1
