The Surprising Effects of Daily Almond Milk Consumption on Your Body

Almond milk, a popular dairy alternative, is made by blending almonds with water and straining out the solids. While it may not be nutritionally equivalent to dairy milk, fortified almond milk can provide essential nutrients such as calcium and vitamin D. Unsweetened almond milk is low in calories and sugar, making it a good option for weight management and blood sugar control. It may also support bone health, vision health, and provide antioxidant benefits. However, sweetened almond milk can increase the risk of dental cavities, and it is not a significant source of protein compared to dairy milk. Overall, almond milk can be a healthy addition to a balanced diet, especially for those with lactose intolerance or following a vegan lifestyle.
