Investigators found that munching on 3.5 ounces of almonds a day reduced LDL cholesterol by 10 to 15 percent. In a University study, vegetarians who ate nuts at least five times a week cut their risk of a heart attack by 50 percent. Almonds are low in saturated fat and high in unsaturated fats that can lower cholesterol. Compared with other snack foods like potato chips, pretzels and peanuts, almonds are rich in vitamin E and in the amino acid arginine. Arginine relaxes blood vessels and inhibits the proliferation of cells in blood vessel walls-steps important in blocking heart disease. Almonds also contain high amounts of magnesium and copper two minerals that make the blood vessels less prone to plaque attack. AERODROME FIRE FIGHTER-SVR-BS 2
