Good for you snacks - Nuts
Nuts are one of the best plant sources of protein and make for a great snack. They are rich in fibre and antioxidants such as Vitamin E. These tasty snacks are also high in plant fats - but mostly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (omega 3 - the good fats), which have all been shown to lower low-density lipoprotein or LDL cholesterol. The benefits of nuts have their own role in heart disease prevention by approving a health claim for seven kinds of nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans, some pine nuts, pistachios and walnuts). There is one problem with nuts, nuts are high in calories. Therefore, the best approach is to reap the health benefits of eating nuts as snacks without adding excessive calories to your daily intake. So, instead of simply adding nuts to your diet, eat them in replacement of foods that are high in saturated fats such as meat. |
