Did you know that Almond is a seed found inside the fruits of the Almond tree? These fruits look very similar to peaches, only green in color. So, this fact about Almond makes it a fruit, and not a nut! Interesting, right?

Almonds are the oldest and most widely grown of all the world's nut crops. They were first produced in the Middle East, and very soon, people discovered that the oil extracted from its seeds was extremely beneficial. Nearly half of dry Almond’s weight was found to be oil and ripe Almonds were pressed to extract the oil with minimal heat.

Today, Almonds and Almond Oil are popular as rich sources of nutrients. You might have come across nutritionists advising people to add Almonds to their daily diet and Ayurveda beauty experts recommending Abhyanga (self-massage) with the oil to nourish the skin. Either way, Almonds provide us with what our body requires and form an important part of our life.

1 Increased Hear Health

Your heart works hard to spread oxygen and nutrients throughout your body via your bloodstream. The condition of your heart directly impacts how efficiently your body functions, which makes heart health a high-stakes topic. Fortunately, consuming almond oil has been linked to increased heart health.

The driving factor between this connection is monounsaturated fats. Some types of fats — like saturated and trans fat — negatively impact your overall health. However, monounsaturated fat is considered a good fat that positively influences your health in moderate quantities. A majority of the fat in almond oil is monounsaturated fat, meaning it is better for your heart than other cooking alternatives. In fact, 1 serving size (1Tbsp.) of Almond oil provides 10g of monounsaturated fat.

Studies have shown that in a healthy diet, substituting carbs with monounsaturated fats can lower blood pressure, improve lipid levels and reduce your risk of cardiovascular issues. Monounsaturated fats can also decrease harmful LDL cholesterol and increase good HDL cholesterol. These almond oil benefits contribute to a healthy heart when paired with a healthy lifestyle.

2 Good Source of Vitamin E

Your body needs a variety of vitamins and minerals to carry out daily tasks, including vitamin E, which refers to a group of fat-soluble compounds with antioxidant properties. As an antioxidant, vitamin E helps to protect your cells on the molecular level by fighting "free radicals."

Free radical molecules cause damage to cells and may contribute to cardiovascular disease and cancer. Antioxidants stop free radicals from inflicting this damage, which may help prevent or delay chronic diseases. In addition, antioxidants like vitamin E support immune function.

Vitamin E is essential to help your body function well, and almond oil is a great way to add it to your diet. In fact, just one tablespoon of almond oil contains 27 percent of your recommended daily vitamin E intake. When you utilize almond oil in your cooking, you can help protect and nourish your body with powerful vitamin E.

3 Blood Sugar control

The term "blood sugar" refers to the glucose in your bloodstream that helps supply energy to your cells. Keeping your blood sugar levels in check is crucial to help your body function well and to prevent your risk of diabetes and heart disease. Healthy blood sugar levels are especially important for individuals with diabetes.

Studies show that the monounsaturated fats in almond oil can help stabilize blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. Making simple diet changes like adding almond oil to your cooking, can help keep your blood sugar stable and healthy.

4 Healthy weight maintenance

When it comes to weight loss, it seems counterintuitive to add fats to your diet. While it is true that a diet high in unhealthy fats is linked to weight gain, healthy fats have the opposite effect. One study showed that a diet high in monounsaturated fats promotes benefits in weight loss and body composition.

Monounsaturated fats like those in almond oil support several important functions, including:

  • Providing energy for your body.
  • Providing crucial fatty acids your body cannot make on its own.
  • Building cell walls.
  • Helping your body absorb vitamins A, D, E and K.
  • Insulating your body and protecting your organs.

Weight loss is multifaceted, and diet changes alone often are not as effective. However, substituting almond oil for other saturated and trans fats in your diet can play a part in overall weight loss, weight maintenance and wellness.

5 Moisturizing properties

When applied to the skin, almond oil has emollient properties. These properties allow almond oil to soften and smooth skin over time. Accordingly, many bath oil, lipstick and skin cleansing products include almond oil to help moisturize your skin. Using products with almond oil as an ingredient or applying the oil directly to your skin can support smooth and supple skin.

Because of its moisturizing properties, almond oil has also been used to treat dry skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis for centuries. Common topical treatments for these conditions include steroid creams, which have concerning long-term side effects. Many have turned to almond oil as a natural supplemental solution. The fatty acids in almond oil help to repair the skin's natural barrier, lock in more moisture and reduce irritation. Regardless of your skin type, incorporating almond oil into your skin routine can help increase moisture and improve your skin's appearance.

6 Increased hair health

Using almond oil for your hair provides advantages for both hair appearance and hair health. When incorporated into a shampoo, almond oil helps give hair a natural sheen. At a cellular level, almond oil works to fill gaps in your hair, which contributes to smoother and softer hair over time.

Though scientific studies have not confirmed that you can use almond oil for hair growth, it may still help your hair grow longer and stronger. Nut oils like almond oil help to lubricate your hair and protect it from breakage or split ends. In addition to this, the Mayo Clinic reports your diet and vitamin intake are major contributing factors to healthy hair.

Consuming almond oil and incorporating it into your hair care can provide several of the necessary ingredients for hair growth. In more ways than one, almond oil can help you set yourself up for healthy hair growth success.

7 Sun damage and aging prevention

When you enjoy time outdoors under the sun, your skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays. Prolonged exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause damage to your cell's DNA and lead to skin damage or skin cancer.

Some of the other concerning effects of UV radiation include:

  • Inflammation
  • Immune changes
  • Impaired wound healing

The combination of these effects adds up to accelerated skin aging. According to one study, UV rays may account for up to 80 percent of visible aging. This includes skin dryness, wrinkling and impaired pigmentation. Clearly, UV rays pose a dangerous threat to your skin. Applying sunscreen is one way to fight against these rays, but you can also use almond oil.

Studies have shown that topical almond oil application can help prevent skin damage caused by UV radiation and help slow the aging process. Almond oil can help protect your cells by reducing DNA damage from UV rays and prevent the chemical and structural changes they can make. Applying almond oil to your face and body in tandem with sunscreen can help prevent sun damage and premature aging to keep your skin looking its best.

8 Stretch mark prevention

Stretch marks are a natural part of life. When your body experiences rapid periods of growth — like that in pregnancy — the abrupt change can cause your skin's collagen and elastin to rupture. As the skin heals, stretch marks can form and leave scars.

Almond oil can aid with stretch marks in more than one way. Studies have shown that almond oil can both prevent stretch marks in pregnant women as well as reduce itching experienced from stretch marks. Applying almond oil topically can help improve your skin's elasticity and keep it well-hydrated. This can be especially helpful in preventing stretch marks during the rapid growth in the later trimesters of pregnancy.

Though no treatment can fully prevent stretch marks, almond oil can provide vital moisture to help your skin adapt through major changes.

9 Acne Benefits

Acne can be frustrating and difficult to treat. While numerous acne-specific products exist, every individual's acne responds to different treatments. This is because acne is rooted in a variety of interrelated factors.

One of the factors behind acne is inflammation. Inflammatory molecules appear at all stages of an acne lesion's development. In addition, the redness and soreness associated with most acne lesions comes from inflammation. Another factor that may be linked to acne is vitamin deficiency. A lack of antioxidants like vitamins A, C and E can impair skin's ability to fight inflammation.

While there are other influential factors behind acne, almond oil is equipped to fight both inflammation and vitamin deficiency. Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may help reduce inflammation, boost antioxidant levels and address scarring. Using almond oil for acne may provide a natural remedy to help calm and smooth your skin.
