Many 'dieters' opt out of eating nuts because of their high fat content, but the fats are monounsaturated (GOOD) fats, known to have heart protective benefits.
A palm sized portion is good to add to your daily diet.
But stay off the salty ones!
Eating just one ounce of ALMONDS gives you as much calcium as 5fl oz of milk, and calcium is important for healthy bones, teeth, muscles and nerves. It is also needed for the prevention of osteoporosis.
BRAZIL nuts are packed with selenium. This encourages the feel good factor, improves mental ability and discourages ageing.
WALNUTS are great for brainpower. They are high in omega-3 which aids memory and learning ability.
CASHEWS have a lower fat content than most other nuts, and are a good source of copper and magnesium - essential minerals for a healthy body.
And PECANS are loaded with over 19 vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A and E.
Make some healthy choices each day to improve your wellbeing.
