It's best to eat Almonds with the skin on. The skin contains fiber and omega 3s your body needs. Almonds are also good for your health, skin and eyes as well as they aid as a good snack to prevent over eating.
4 Reasons to Grab a Handful of Almonds as Your Next Snack
1) New research supports almonds' ability to lower cholesterol. A study to be published Monday in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition provides more evidence that almonds are one of the most heart-healthy foods around.
2) Almonds are nutritionally dense -- a quality emphasized in the government's latest Dietary Guidelines. Almonds are the most nutritionally dense nut, whether compared calorie per calorie or ounce per ounce.A one-ounce, 164-calorie serving of almonds, or about a handful, is an excellent source of vitamin E and magnesium, and a good source of fiber. It also offers heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, protein, potassium, calcium, phosphorous and iron.
3) Eating almonds may help maintain or even lose weight. A recent study in the International Journal of Obesity found that adding a daily ration of almonds to a low-calorie diet enhanced weight loss, as well as significantly improved risk factors associated with heart disease, when compared to a low-fat, low-calorie diet.
4) Almonds are tasty, satisfying and versatile. Whether added to low-fat yogurt, included in a healthy trail mix, or munched on their own, almonds have a toasty crunch that's perfect for any time of day, and for many other foods.
Eat almonds and buy them by the pound in a health food store or supermarket already bagged. They are healthy,contain vitamin E, fiber, proteins and the healthy fat and help to lower your cholesterol
Make a special dinner of chicken dipped in eggs and crushed almonds-in place of breadcrumbs-that tastes as good as it looks. Bake or fry almonds according to taste and enjoy eating the almonds
If you have a problem with digestion , take raw almonds and grab a stainless steel or glass container. Put the almonds in the container and pour in enough purified water to cover them. Let them soak for 12 hours, then drain them. The skins will slide right off. It is best to refrigerate them after this. Your almonds will now allow your digestive enzymes to work more effectively.
Enjoy and eat almonds in a variety of ways. Buy the slivered almonds and sprinkle them on top of puddings or ice cream sundae' s for a inexpensive but healthy treat. Pour them into a small baggie and take them with you in your purse. Almonds are great to raise the blood sugar for those who are hypoglycemia. Sprinkle slivered almonds on salads or eaten as a low caloric meal when added to rice.

The skin of every fruit, nut, legume, seed, and vegetable contains a lot of nutrients, so always leave the skin on.
As for how many you should eat every day, what does your body tell you? What kinds of activity do you do? What does your diet look like? Seriously, do you think this is a one-size-fits-all kind of thing?
