Eating almonds could help in post-exercise recovery, says new study

NEW DELHI: Eating almonds regularly may help recover from exercise by reducing muscle fatigue and soreness, a new study has found.

The findings, published in the journal Current Developments in Nutrition, could promote greater adherence to physical training, a topic that warrants further investigation in future studies, researchers noted.

The research team, which included scientists from San Diego State University in the US, studied 26 middle-aged adults who exercised one to four hours per week. For eight weeks, participants consumed either 60 grams of whole raw almonds or about 90 grams of unsalted pretzels daily.
