Almonds are the perfect anti aging food. They are full of protein, fiber and omega-6 fatty acids that the body requires to stay young as long as possible.
All nuts are packed with healthy fats. They encourage weight loss because they regulate blood-sugar levels and provide a good natural fuel source to our body.
Eating raw almonds on a regular basis lowers the body's bad cholesterol as well as the risk of heart disease, gallstones and diabetes. The omega-6 fatty acids help to regulate mood. Eat them in their raw natural state and avoid less healthy, roasted or salted versions.
Ingredients
3/4 cup bean sprouts, washed and dried
small bunch each of seedless purple and green grapes, halved
12 dried apricots, halved
1/4 cup blanched almonds, halved
pepper to taste
Dressing
1 Tbsp walnut oil
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
Preparation
1 Place the bean sprouts in the bottom of a large salad bowl and sprinkle the grapes and apricots on top.
2. Place the oils and vinegar in a screw-top jar and shake vigorously to mix. Pour over the salad.
3. Scatter over the blanched almonds and season with pepper.
Tip
Almonds may be soaked in water, which makes them easier to digest and for your body to access their nutrients.
Enjoy!!!
