According to ancient Chinese medicine records, almonds have the function of relaxing bowels. The book "Modern Practical Chinese Medicine" says: "Almond has laxative effect and nourishing effect." For the elderly and frail patients with chronic constipation, taking almonds has the best effect. The Chinese classic Compendium of Materia Medica also mentions three major functions of almonds: "moistening the lungs, eliminating food accumulation and dispersing stagnant qi". Among them, "Xiaoshi Shi" shows that almonds can help digestion and relieve constipation symptoms. In addition, many traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for constipation also contain almonds.
Promoting metabolism and eliminating constipation is an important reason for you to drink a cup of almond milk every day.
