Study suggests snacking on almonds boosts gut health

According to a recent study, eating a handful of almonds a day increases the production of butyrate (a short-chain fatty acid) that may help improve gut health. The research was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

For the study, the team analysed the impact of whole and ground almonds on the composition of gut microbes. They asked participants to consume 56g of ground almonds and whole almonds a day.

Researchers found that butyrate was significantly higher among almond eaters compared to those who consumed other snacks. The findings also suggest that eating almonds can benefit those with constipation and can boost metabolism.
