Why you should eat more nuts

Here is part of an article I found interesting and thought I would pass it on.

 

Many nutritionists believe nuts are healthy. Nuts have no cholesterol, they contain mono-unsaturated and/or polyunsaturated fats, are rich in fiber, and contain vitamin E. Eating nuts, therefore, may help prevent heart disease. Other benefits of nut consumption include:

  • Hazelnuts reportedly boost the immune system and fight fatigue,
  • Peanuts are recommended for memory and help reduce high blood pressure,
  • Almonds are a good source of calcium to fight osteoporosis,
  • Pecans aid bone strength and help keep nerves and muscles healthy, and
  •  
  • Macadamias are beneficial to the nervous system and skin.
