5 Top Benefits & Uses of Almond Milk For Hair, Skin & Health

Almond milk has it’s own distinctive, unique flavor and it tastes wonderful. Almond milk is a good substitute, if not better substitute for milk and it is especially helpful for people who are lactose intolerant. I have to say the best thing I like about almond milk is it is a great help for people who have taken a course of antibiotics.

After we finish our course of antibiotics, many of us experience stomach discomfort that ranges from stomach pain to diarrhea. Take almond milk continuously for some days after you have taken your antibiotics to get back your digestive tract in order. Almond milk is one of the best tonics for convalescence.

Try making your own almond milk, it is very easy and I am sure, homemade almond milk is much more healthier and tastier than store bought ones. To make almond milk, soak almonds in water for few hours and peel off the skin. Grind it finely using a blender along with little honey. Strain and your almond milk is ready!

Almond Milk Health Benefits:

1. Almond Milk For Weight Loss:

Research has proven that calcium rich foods aids in weight loss. The best calcium rich weight loss foods are low fat dairy and almond milk as both are rich in calcium but almond milk is even better than dairy as it has few calories than even skimmed milk, but try to consume unsweetened almond milk.

2. Almond Milk For Babies & Toddlers:

Children those who hate the taste of milk will love almond milk as it has a fresh nutty flavor. Almond milk is rich in vitamin B, iron, calcium and protein which is essential for children’s growth. Though almond milk is good for babies, it is better to introduce it after the child turns 2 as some children might be allergic to nuts.

3. Almond Milk For Skin:

Almond milk is great both when consumed internally and applied externally on the skin. To use it for external application, mix an egg white with a tsp of almond milk and use it as a face mask. You can also use it directly on the skin, if you don’t want to use egg white.

4. Almond Milk For Hair:

Almonds have all the nutrients that is essential for healthy hair. Try to drink almond milk as often as you can especially if you are suffering from hair loss.

Why do we soak the almond overnight? 2-3 hours enough? This almond milk should be taken at night or morning?

  Usually 2 to 3 hours is enough but I always soak it overnight so I can consume it in the morning. You can take almond milk anytime of the day….
