Daily Almond Consumption May Boost Health and Protect DNA

Eating about 22 almonds a day may help reduce oxidative stress and improve overall oxidative health, potentially extending health span, according to a systematic review of multiple studies. Almonds are rich in antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols, which combat cellular damage, and incorporating them into the diet can be a proactive, low-risk strategy for disease prevention. However, due to their calorie content, almonds should replace other snacks rather than be added on top of a normal diet.
