Nuts to You
By Leanne Ely, C.N.C.
Nuts are one of the most nutritious things you can put in your body. When you
think about it, it makes a lot of sense. Just like eggs make chicks, nuts
make trees. They are, after all, the embryo or seed of new life for a tree.
If that is the case, then they're going to need all the nutrients inside of
their little selves to make a new tree.
That being said, they've been eschewed for years by dieters because of their
high fat, high calorie content. And that does not make sense. Nuts contain
fat and protein, which makes them a natural for helping to squash hunger.
Just a tablespoon of peanut butter on an apple will satisfy just about any food
craving and keep you from dipping your hand into the cookie jar.
The kinds of nuts you eat are important - almonds and walnuts are about the
best nutritionally. Pistachios are good; pecans and cashews are good too. All
nuts contain vitamin E, magnesium, fiber, protein and fat, potassium and some
B vitamins.
The thing to know about nuts is this: eating just a small handful a few times
a week, will reduce your chances of getting a heart attack by at least 15%
and maybe even 51%!
Go easy, count out your nuts (I eat 10 at a time, no more) and make sure you
don't eat them mindlessly out of the bag or you'll find yourself a little
heavier
as well as healthier!
Here's a great nutty recipe to get you going:
