Cure properties of the combination of black chocolate and almonds

The new study revealed that the combination of raw almonds, dark chocolate, and cocoa reduces the level of bad cholesterol in the blood.

It's important that people understand context. The message is not that people should eat a lot of chocolate and almonds to lower the level of bad cholesterol in the blood,”-the Penny Chris-Etherton, who runs the study. “People are allowed to take about 270 calories a day and when foods like almonds, black chocolate and cocoa are consumed together as a food they give health benefits different from other foods”.

The study, conducted at 31 people, showed that when participants consumed only almond cholesterol, they decreased by 7% compared to the period when none of the food was consumed. The combination of black chocolate almonds and cocoa reduced LDL to mass, which is a risk factor to cardiovascular disease, Chris-Etherton said.

Alice H. Lichtenstein, D.S.c., Professor Gershoff at Tufts University and director of the Cardiovascular Food Laboratory, said it is important to point out that participants ate almond instead of milk fat as part of a healthy diet.

“This was a very good check-up study that showed that replacing the full fat (blood and cheese) with unfaty fat coming from nuts (bayme) has had a positive effect on the concentrations of plasma lipids,” said Liechtenstein, who was not involved.

Chris-Etherton also said that when it comes to fat, almonds are a much better choice than butter and cheese.
