ALMONDS: The nuts contain resveratrol, a natural anti-inflammatory, and lots of electrolytes (99 milligrams of magnesium, 257 milligrams of potassium, and 75 milligrams of calcium in a quarter cup) to help fight muscle fatigue and cramping. They've also been proven to inhibit LDL cholesterol from clogging arteries by as much as 50 percent.
Serving Suggestions: Always buy almonds with the skins on (they contain many of the nutrients), and add them to smoothies or eat them straight; try substituting almond flour for wheat flour in waffles and sweet breads.
