Several studies revealed the benefits of almonds to relieve headache and increase semen production.
It is well known that almonds have a high dose of nutrients.
Only a small handful of around 28 grams of almonds contains:
- Fiber: 3.5 grams.
- Proteins: 6 grams.
- Fats: 14 grams (9 of which are monounsaturated fats).
- Vitamin E: 37% of the recommended daily dose (RDA).
- Manganese: 32% of the RDA.
- Magnesium: 20% of the RDA.
In addition, it contains good amounts of copper, vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and phosphorus.
28 grams include just 161 calories and 2.5 grams of digestible carbohydrates.

It is important to emphasize that between 10 and 15% of the calories in an almond are not absorbed by the body because the fat is difficult to access and decomposes.

What is the relationship between almonds and semen?
First of all, it is important to know that factors such as pollution, smoking and an incorrect diet are causes of decreased sperm production.
However, according to recent studies a healthy diet based on nuts can help to have a healthy semen.
Thus, it is possible to improve the sperm count by eating about two handfuls of almonds, hazelnuts and mixed nuts daily for approximately four months and having more viable “swimmers”.
During the study, they randomly divided 119 healthy men between the ages of 18 and 35 into two groups:
- A group was added 60 grams of nuts a day to its normal diet
- The other did not make any change to what they usually eat
Those in the group that ate walnuts improved sperm:
- The count by 14%
- The vitality by 4%
- Mobility by 6%
- The morphology (shape and size) in 1%
According to the World Health Organization these are the parameters used to measure the sperm quality and are associated with male fertility.
Therefore, it is evident that simple changes in a healthier lifestyle, such as following a healthy dietary pattern, would help with conception.
What is the relationship between almonds and headache?
On the other hand, this handful of almonds has the same effect as aspirin for headache, although they are a little slower.
Almonds contain a good proportion of salicylates, salts formed by salicylic acid and a base that constitute the main active agent of aspirin, to which its benefits are due: the reduction of inflammation, as well as the blocking of pain signals that emits our brain.

Likewise, almonds have a high content of magnesium and vitamin E. Several studies have found a relationship between increased consumption of vitamin E and a lower incidence of diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
Therefore, it is advisable to keep almonds always at home. But keep in mind that they are not with salt, otherwise the opposite effect occurs: increase the headache.
As we see, including in our daily diet only two handfuls of almonds brings us double benefit, calms the headache and increases the production of semen.
Finally, the almonds, besides being healthy and of good flavor, do not require any type of preparation. An excellent combination
