Nuts are one of the healthiest snacks you
can ever have. Some people pick up the
jar of nuts, look at the back label, and set
it back down. They do this because of
the fat content, but they shouldn’t!
What most people don’t understand is
that the fats that are in nuts are healthy
fats. So they are okay to have. They are
actually good for your body! Your body
needs healthy sources of fats, and nuts
are one of the few foods that will
deliver them. But beyond being a healthy
source of fats, they are also a great
source of protein, and they have other
nutrients that the body needs to be
healthy.
In fact, the Harvard School of Public
Health found that those who try to lose
weight are more successful when they
stick to that of a Mediterranean Diet that
includes nuts. They also found that those
who eat a handful of nuts each day are
better at controlling their weight.
What this means for someone who likes
to snack and that needs to find healthy
snacks, is that they should opt for eating
a handful of nuts when they need a snack.
The healthy snack will keep them feeling
and looking great.
There are a lot of different types of nuts
to choose from, but some are even better
for you than others. So just which ones
are the best?
- Walnuts – They are loaded
with heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty
acids.
- Almonds – They are loaded
with Vitamin E, which helps your
body age healthy.
Stick to these two types of nuts and you
can’t go wrong. Just make sure to eat
them in moderation.
