5. Better Digestion
Almond shells are a great source of prebiotics, which support the growth and multiplication of the good bacteria in our guts. Gut bacteria is responsible for metabolizing nutrients from food and medications. It also protects against intestinal infections and makes vitamin K, important for producing blood-clotting proteins.
Prebiotics feed this important gut bacteria, but beyond that, recent studies indicate that regular consumption of prebiotic foods can improve immune system function and lower the risk of cancer, heart disease, and rheumatoid arthritis.
