Go Ahead and Go Nuts

fatawayhypnosis.com for weight loss tips

What's the single easiest, most delicious, and health- promoting snack on the planet? My vote goes to walnuts. Rich in vitamins, antioxidants, fiber, trace minerals, and a bounty of healthy fat. Just a handful a day can reduce your risk for heart disease and may help ward off Alzheimer's disease, type II diabetes, and cancer. The high degree of Omega-3's that is contained in the walnut makes it an excellent anti-inflammatory.

Food and Drug Administration in March 2004 allowed walnuts to be the first whole food that can be labeled with a qualified health claim: "Eating 1.5 ounces per day of walnuts as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease."

A short time after that peanuts and almonds were labeled as well.

Walnuts have had a reputation as brain food, probably because their wrinkled shape actually resembles a human brain. Our brains are more than 60% fat , the type of fat found in walnuts.

Few foods offer the health benefits of nuts, benefits that result from eating just a small amount weekly. An important point to remember is that nuts must be eaten in limited amounts. Why? Nuts are high in calories and over doing nuts can cause the addition of unwanted pounds. One hand full a day (which is about an ounce) should be enough to provide you with the health benefits without the weight gain.

Yes, being high in fat they are high in calories. That is why they should be limited and enjoyed with moderation. A handfull a day will do your body good!
