Description
Lindsey Lemus and colleagues feed almond meal to ageing mice in a 2026 study. Anaemia in old age has many roots, including inflammation and oxidative stress that damage red blood cells. Almonds carry nutrients that might calm both processes and protect those cells.
Forty-eight older mice ate plain food or food with almond meal supplying part of their calories for 12 or 21 weeks. Almond-fed mice showed more even red cell sizes early and higher red cell counts later in the trial. Adjusted models tied almond eating to higher counts and much lower odds of anaemia, suggesting diet support for blood health in ageing.
