Almonds can improve digestive health: Study
Almonds, rich in vitamin E and other minerals are known to reduce cholesterol. But a new study says they are also good for digestive health. The nut, the study found, has prebiotic properties and helps improve digestive health by boosting the numbers of beneficial gut bacteria.

The digestive system houses bacteria in the colon. They can fuel their growth and activity by feeding off prebiotics or non-digestible parts of foods. These "good" bacteria also form part of the body's defence against harmful bacteria and have a significant role in the development of body's immune system. This, however, requires that prebiotics are able to get through the upper part of the intestine without being digested or absorbed by the body.

Institute of Food Research (IFR) scientists first used the Model Gut, a physical and biochemical simulator of the gastro-intestinal tract, to subject almonds to the same conditions experienced in the stomach and small intestine. They then added the digested almonds to an in-vitro batch system to mimic the bacterial fermentation in the large intestine and monitored its effect on the populations of intestinal bacteria.

The study found that finely ground almonds significantly increased the levels of certain beneficial gut bacteria. This effect was not seen when the fat content was removed from the almond preparation, suggesting that the beneficial bacteria use the almond lipid for growth, and this is the basis for the prebiotic effect of almonds. The findings of the study have been published in the latest issue of the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology.

Diabetic?  Forget pills, pop almonds

As India grapples with a major public health problem, being home to an estimated *0.8 million diabetic population, the largest in the world, experts say consuming a few almonds daily can help combat the lifestyle disease.
"Eating almonds has a positive effect on reducing low density cholesterol and also improves insulin sensitivity; so it does help in pushing diabetes away," says Ritesh Gupta, head of clinical operation at Fortis C-Doc Hospital.
"It is a healthy source of fibre, protein and calories and has been found to have a positive effect in reducing bad cholesterol and improved insulin sensitivity," Gupta told IANS.
Diabetes is caused when there is deficiency of insulin hormone, which controls blood sugar levels. Its symptoms include fatigue, excessive thirst and frequent urination.
With an estimated *0.8 million people living with the disease, India has the world's largest population of diabetics in the world, followed by China with *3.2 million, says the World Health Organisation (WHO).
The number in India is expected to go up to *7 million - 8.4 per cent of the country's adult population - by ***0.
With India staring at a major public health threat due to diabetes and other lifestyle diseases, almond is now being hailed as the health nut.
"Indians are more prone to lifestyle diseases like diabetes. The increasingly sedentary lifestyle and fast food double up the risk. Almond, which has traditionally been part of our diet, is a high source of nutrition and helps push these diseases away," says Anoop Misra, director of Diabetes Foundation (India).
"A handful of almonds contain **4 calories and 7 gm of protein, which helps in fighting hunger pangs and helps you control what you eat.  Almonds also help growing children in developing strong bones," he adds.
A study done by scholars from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, West Chester University, Pennsylvania, and Loma Linda University of California, all in the US, and published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition also confirms that the nut can control diabetes if consumed regularly.
"A diet consisting of *0 per cent of calories as almonds over a **-week period is effective in improving markers of insulin sensitivity and yields clinically significant improvements in LDL-C (low density lipoprotein cholesterol) in adults with pre-diabetes," the study said.
"We have made great strides in chronic disease research, from evidence of effective treatment to evidence of effective prevention," said Michelle Wien, assistant research professor in nutrition at Loma Linda University's School of Public Health.
She was also the principal investigator for the study, which was conducted at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
"Low density cholesterol is the cholesterol which blocks the arteries. According to the study, the intake of almonds had a significant effect on reducing the levels, along with improving insulin sensitivity," said Karen Lapsley, chief scientific officer of the Almond Board of California, which was an associate in the study.
"It's also very easy to consume, one can have it any time, so it merges well with the hectic lifestyle," Lapsley said.
