The current study aims at understanding the correlation between consumption of magnesium-rich almond nut intake and blood pressure. A case-controlled trial was carried out by doing a stratified sampling consisting of about 10 people and they were divided into two groups consisting of 5 people without hypertension in group A as control and 5 people suffering from hypertension in group B. Group A and Group B were made to consume almonds and the blood pressure of the people in both the groups was periodically recorded for a week to evaluate the effectiveness of almond on blood pressure.,with the collected results a statistical analysis were performed with “chi square test” using stastical software “SPSS Version 23” and represented in the form of pie charts and bar graphs. The current study deals with the relationship between the effect observed due to the consumption of almond nuts on blood pressure. The effect observed in group B is greater than in group A.The statistical analysis (Independent sample t test) showed that there is no significant difference between the two groups(P Value >0.05). The current study results provide experimental support proving the effectiveness of almond intake on blood pressure.
