Apples and Almond Butter a Nutritious Snack

#apples #almondbutter #snack #Nutritious 

On the days I have an early start and an early breakfast,  I often grab an apple and a Tbsp of almond butter for my morning snack.  On top of tasting delicious,  it really is nutritious, and filling.

My husband eats 3 to 4 apples per day, I cannot quite get to that amount,  but he also has very little tartar buildup.  Not sure if eating apples is the reason, but he never flosses,  I also do, and he gets his teeth cleaned once per four or five years.  When I think about that I should eat more apples and see if it helps me!

Apples are rich in important antioxidants, flavanoids and dietary fiber.   They contain Vitamin C, Vitamin B (ribolflavin thiamin and Vitamin B - 6) and also Plytonutrients (phytonutrients help protect the body from the detrimental effects of free radicals).   They also contain calcium, potassum and phosphorus.

They can potentially prevent dementia, reduce your risk of stroke, lower your bad cholesterol, reduce the risk of diabetes and ward of breast cancer (studies conducted by prominent Cornell researcher Rui Hai Liu)

Almond Butter also has many health benefits.   It contains  Calcium, Copper, Vitamin E, Magnesium, Healthy Fats and Fiber.

Because of the antioxidents, almond butter is good for the skin and our blood.  It can help improve our sleep, balance the blood sugar, help with weight control and is good for our heart because of the healthy fats it has.

As with everything in our diet if we can choose Organic, it is much healthier.   Enjoy your apple and almond butter, and know you are feeding your body good food!
