4. Almonds: Super for the Stomach

Of all the tree nuts, almonds contain the most fiber. They are also the richest in vitamin E, which is a potent antioxidant. These nuts might just also help you fit into last year’s jeans. One study that was published in the International Journal of Obesity found that when two groups of obese adults consumed low calorie diets over a six month period, the group that consumed almonds as a part of their diet lost more weight than those who did not.

These nuts might also help you avoid diabetes. Other studies show that those who consumed about 20 percent of their overall calories from almonds over a 4 month period saw their insulin resistance decrease and their LDL (bad) cholesterol levels drop. Almonds can even keep your gut bacteria healthy which can improve your immune system response.
