Diets For Dummies And Nuts For Healthy Living

"Go Ask Alice"

When I was a young girl growing up I remember asking my father a lot of questions about many different things. Oftentimes my father would answer only my questions that required a one or two word answer but MOST of the time my father would say “Go Ask Alice”. Alice was my mother. But I didn’t like to “Go Ask Alice” because she was always on the go, moving around cleaning or cooking or busy with my other 3 sisters. I loved talking to my father because I didn’t have to chase him around to ask him all my silly questions. As time went on I did grow tired of him saying “Go Ask Alice” and began talking more to my cat Fluffy and I also began to develop a love for books where I could go and find my own answers to satisfy my young curiosity.

Did you eat your nuts today?

There are lots of different nuts and seeds but here are six (6) of the healthiest nuts.

1. Walnuts - Known as the king of nuts. A great source of healthy omega-3 and incredibly healthy for the heart.

2. Almonds - Good for the colon. An animal study on the effects of almonds on colon cancer found that animals given whole almonds had fewer signs of colon cancer than animals given almond oil or no almonds. Researchers suspect the benefit may be due to almonds' high fiber content.

3. Cashews - Lower in fat than most nuts. 65% of this fat is unsaturated fatty acids and of this 90% is oleic acid, the heart-healthy fat found in olive oil.

4. Pecans - An excellent source of over 19 vitamins and minerals. A clinical research study evaluating the impact of pecans on serum cholesterol have found pecans can significantly help lower blood cholesterol when consumed as part of a heart-healthy diet.

5. Brazil nuts - a study at the University of Illinois found that the high amounts of selenium in Brazil nuts may help prevent breast cancer.

6. Macadamia Nuts - A study done at Hawaii University found that people who had added these nuts to their diets for just one month had total cholesterol levels of 191, compared to 201 for those eating the typical American diet. The largest change was found in the LDL (bad) cholesterol.
