❇️INCREASES ACETYLCHOLINE:
Acetylcholine is one of the most well researched neurotransmitters in the human brain. It is responsible for memory, focus, alertness, arousal and so much more (Picciotto et al., 2012). Almonds work through up-regulating acetylcholine.
📚MEMORY ENHANCEMENT:
One study conducted in rats, demonstrated a positive correlation between acetylcholine and acetylcholinesterase activity in both hippocampus and frontal cortex. Moreover, the acetylcholine content of hippocampus and frontal cortex in the almond-treated rats was also positively correlated with memory retention, again demonstrating the role of acetylcholine in the memory enhancing effects of long term almond administration (Batool et al., 2016).
💥TAKEAWAY:
Almonds represent a healthy snack that may support brain function in humans. Soaked almonds appear more beneficial for digestion and nutrient composition.
