The Benefits of Nuts

The Benefits of Nuts

It's time to go nuts for nuts!

These small nutritional powerhouses contain many vitamins and minerals that are beneficial to your health, such as omega-3, protein, and fiber. They are particularly good at holding over your appetite between meals, all without the guilt of snacking. Unfortunately, there can be "too much of a good thing" when it comes to nuts, as they are high in calories.

So, which nut should you choose? Here is a breakdown of some popular options:

1. Walnuts

Walnuts are great for the heart, containing amino acids that are known to help with heart disease. Very high in omega-3, they are great for reducing inflammation in the body, particularly after eating a fatty meal. 

Looking for a good night's rest? Walnuts contain melatonin, a hormone known to induce and regulate sleep. 

2. Almonds 

Almonds contain more calcium or fiber than any other nut, making them a great choice for overall health. If you have a dairy-free diet, almonds are also a good choice to make sure you are getting enough calcium to build strong bones. They are also rich in vitamin E, a nutrient that promotes healthy skin and hair. 

3. Cashews

Are you a vegetarian? Cashews make an excellent choice due to their high levels of protein, iron, and zinc. While they are one of the lowest-fiber nuts, they are filled with other great vitamins and minerals such as vitamins E, K, and B6 as well as copper and magnesium, making them a great choice for even the biggest carnivores.
