While almonds are a nutritious food with various health benefits, consuming them excessively may lead to certain side effects. Here are five potential side effects of eating too many almonds. Tap to see!
Almonds are calorie-dense, and consuming them in excess without accounting for the additional calories can contribute to weight gain.
Almonds contain fiber, which is beneficial for digestion in moderation. However, consuming excessive amounts of almonds can lead to digestive issues such as bloating, gas, and constipation.
Almonds contain oxalates, compounds that can interfere with the absorption of minerals like calcium and iron. Eating too many almonds may contribute to a mineral imbalance in the body, potentially leading to issues like kidney stones or difficulties in iron absorption.
Almonds are a good source of vitamin E. However, excessive intake of vitamin E from almonds or supplements may lead to vitamin E overdose, resulting in symptoms such as fatigue, blurred vision, and in extreme cases, bleeding disorders.
