137 Adults at risk for diabetes were studied by Purdue University. All of those participating reported less hunger pangs after consuming almonds. In addition to being satiating they’re also rich in calcium and magnesium. The researchers suggest that if you’re looking to add them into your own diet, go for lightly salt or unsalted.
