Supports A Healthy Heart
Including this milk in your diet can help you increase your intake of plant-based foods, which may help keep your heart healthier.
Some people promote plant-based diets because of their potential role in reducing the risk of cardiometabolic diseases, including heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. There was a study where 65 adults were separated into two groups.
The intervention group followed a low-fat, whole-food, plant-based diet, and the control group continued their usual diet.
The study deduced that there was a reduction in total cholesterol and a decrease in glycated hemoglobin after 12 weeks in the plant-based group compared with the control group.
HbA1c binds to red blood cells and guides the level of blood sugar control over a couple of months. Improved HbA1c and lower cholesterol levels can reduce your chance of developing any heart diseases.

Been using almond milk for several years. Really love it in my morning coffee.
I like almond milk in my coffee, but I cannot do unsweetened. I switched from coffee, mate to silk, almond milk, crème brûlée or vanilla. This is great and much better and lower in calories than what I was previously using. But unsweetened I tried, and cannot do in my coffee.
My son was put on a Low Carb diet to help with seizure control by his neurologist he recommended Unsweetened almond milk because it was low in carbs. Just so happened that I had been having digestion problems, my gastroenterologist told me that as we age we loose the ability to breakdown milk proteins so he suggested that I try Soy milk. I tried for a year but the matter only got worse! So I switched to Almond milk along with my son, and have had no problems.
Dairy is a mucus producing item. If one had sinus problems, almond milk WILL be your friend.
