Many people are suprised when I tell them to snack on unsalted nuts. They don't consider eating them because of their fatty nature & high calorie content.
In reality NUTS are PACKED WITH PROTEIN & a great source of HEALTHY FATS, not to mention all the VITAMINS & MINERALS they contain.
Nuts can be looked upon as nature's vitamin pills! Studies have proven that eating nuts has many health benefits including to help lower bad 'LDL' cholesterol, and reducing the risk of heart disease.
A portion the size of your palm of these nutrient rich nuts is all it takes to satisfy hunger till the next meal - the key is not to overeat! Choose from:
WALNUTS - incredibly healthy for the heart.
ALMONDS - full of vitamin C.
CASHEWS - lower in fats than most nuts.
PECANS - with at least 19 vitamins & minerals.
BRAZILS - high in the antioxidant selenium.
MACADAMIA - good for lowering cholesterol.
Eat nuts whole, flaked, ground or in the form of nut butters. Add to meusli, use in baking or sprinkle over salads.
Obviously please do not eat if you know or suspect you have a nut allergy!
Happy snacking! Bev
