Magic almonds

I wrote yesterday almonds are one of the ingredients of a crocuslicious (excellent) buckwheat cake. Almonds are an important ingredient in Mediterranean cooking. Cookies, pastries, cakes, drinks and even salty dishes. Almonds can be everywhere! And almonds can help your health and your beauty: there's a pinch of magic into them. Perhaps this is why Italian women are so beautiful... Almonds contain proteins, precious vitamins (E, B1, B2) and minerals (magnesium, iron, calcium). The vitamin E, called the beauty vitamin, it's a powerful antioxidant. Our skin knows that! For example, spreading body with almond oil we can stay young longer. But almonds contain also fats (monounsaturated fatty acids, the good ones) in a large part: this helps our cardiovascular system. Remember. It's a very caloric food and we have to eat sparingly if we are on a diet, of course. Moreover, magnesium takes part in many processes of our organism and it's a necessary component of a healthy diet. A nice effect is on mood: it puts people in high spirits. If it's not magic that!
