Study Summary
The investigator hypothesizes that regular consumption of almonds will 1) improve the facial wrinkle severity in post-menopausal women, 2) improve the evenness of facial skin pigmentation, 3) diversify the gut microbiome and increase the short chain fatty acids in the blood, and 4) improve the skin barrier biophysical properties.
Primary Outcome
Photographs will be obtained at baseline, 8 weeks, 16 weeks, and 24 weeks. The images will be obtained with the 3D Clarity Pro® Facial Modeling and Analysis System (Brigh-Tex BioPhotonics, San Jose, CA) that has standardized positioning and lighting and iPad. The investigator has already validated this measurement tool against standard clinical grading of facial wrinkles.
