Nuts: To eat or not to eat?

Will I gain weight or lose weight if I eat them?

The short answer is that nuts definitely get a big TICK!

Nuts contain the linoleic and linolenic essential fatty acids and the fats in nuts for the most part are unsaturated fats, including monounsaturated fats. Nuts also provide arginine, which is a substance that may help

make the walls of the arteries more flexible and less prone to blockages.

Many nuts are good sources of vitamins E and B2, and are rich in protein, folate, fibre and essential minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper and selenium.

But not all nuts are created equally.

Two great choices of nuts are walnuts and almonds. Eating walnuts improves the way the body burns fat and walnut consumption may improve the use of body fat in

overweight adults.

Almonds are a rich source of vitamin E and have been linked to a decreased risk of cancer.

Nuts are most healthy in their raw form. Some easy ways to increase your consumption of these nuts are to add them to salads, throw a handful into a snaplock bag for snacking and even add them to your smoothies.

Nuts… nature’s multivitamin!
