Have A Handful of Nuts For Good Health
Posted by Catherine Morgan on December 27, 2008
Did you know that eating nuts regularly is good for your health?
It’s true.
Studies have shown that people who eat nuts on a regular basis are less likely to suffer from coronary heart disease. Almonds and walnuts can also help reduce cholesterol. Nuts are also good for people with type 2 diabetes. Nuts have a low glycemic index and nuts associated with the holidays (such as walnuts and Brazil nuts) contain potassium, calcium, iron, zinc and magnesium.
Tip: Buy nuts with the shells still on. It gives you something to do with your hands, and you’ll also be less likely to eat too many.
