00:00How Almond Milk Affects Your Body
00:03Almond milk has become a popular dairy alternative, offering several health benefits.
00:07When you drink almond milk, your body receives a low-calorie beverage rich in vitamin E,
00:12an antioxidant that supports skin health and immune function.
00:15Unlike cow's milk, almond milk is naturally lactose-free,
00:19making it easier to digest for those with lactose intolerance.
00:22It typically contains added calcium and vitamin D,
00:25which support bone health, though amounts vary by brand.
00:28However, almond milk is low in protein compared to dairy milk,
00:32providing only about 1 gram per cup versus 8 grams in cow's milk.
00:36Many commercial varieties also contain added sugars and thickeners,
00:40which may affect blood sugar levels.
00:42Unsweetened almond milk can support weight management due to its low calorie content,
00:46around 30 to 40 calories per cup.
00:49It may also benefit heart health, as almonds contain healthy fats that can help reduce bad cholesterol.
00:54For best results, choose unsweetened, fortified varieties,
00:58and ensure you're getting protein from other sources in your diet.
