Consuming almonds every day can help athletes in their workout recovery, a new study shows

California’s Almond Board is turning to athletes to see how the tree nut can help make workouts more enjoyable.

Clarice Turner says it is a breakthrough for them to have this knowledge.

“Three academic studies that have come back, and they’re all saying the same thing. We have another, a couple more actually, that are on the heels of those. We didn’t know that, right? Athletes who were really training and exercising hard, and not myself, I’m not that person that goes to the gym and exercises to the point that my muscles hurt, but for people that do that, it’s really important, because you got to get right back at the rest of your life when you’re doing that.”

Researchers at Appalachian State University have done several studies, and they found that eating two ounces of almonds each day can help build up a good fat that aids in workout recovery.
