We know that nuts are an ideal pick-me-up, packed with protein, as well as
healthy monosaturated fats and fiber. There's more, though: a recent study in
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that people who frequently ate nuts had lower levels of an inflammatory marker called C-reactive protein (CRP). Moreover, almonds, in particular, are an
excellent source of vitamin E, which may help to protect the body from the effects of harmful free radicals and has been shown to
reduce inflammation.
