Almond flour is particularly rich in vitamin E, a group of fat-soluble compounds that act as antioxidants in your body.
They prevent damage from harmful molecules called free radicals, which accelerate aging and increase your risk of heart disease and cancer.
In fact, several studies have linked higher vitamin E intakes to lower rates of heart disease and Alzheimer's.
Magnesium is another nutrient that's abundant in almond flour. It's involved in many processes in your body and may provide several benefits, including improved blood sugar control, reduced insulin resistance and lower blood pressure
Conversely, almond flour is low in carbs yet high in healthy fats and fiber.
These properties give it a low glycemic index, meaning it releases sugar slowly into your blood to provide a sustained source of energy.
As mentioned above, almond flour contains a remarkably high amount of magnesium — a mineral that plays hundreds of roles in your body, including controlling blood sugar.
It's estimated that between 25–38% of people with type 2 diabetes have a magnesium deficiency, and correcting it through diet or supplements may significantly reduce blood sugar and improve insulin function.
In fact, almond flour's ability to improve insulin function may also apply to people without type 2 diabetes who have either low magnesium levels or normal magnesium levels but are overweight .
This could mean that almonds' low glycemic properties and high magnesium content may help control blood sugar in people with or without type 2 diabetes.
