Nuts are high in the good, healthy fats and are quite satisfying, in addition to being highly nutritious and healthy.
These little gems contain high levels of magnesium (80% of ALL Americans are deficient in this vital nutrient), vitamin E, fiber and various other nutrients.
Research has shown nuts can help you lose weight, assuming you don’t eat too many of them ? They may also help fight against type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
There is some evidence in their ability to help boost metabolism. Bonus, your body doesn’t absorb 10-15% of the calories in nuts. There was a study that showed almonds increased weight loss by 62% compared to complex carbs.
Nuts are a great snack! Buy in bulk and section out in single-serving packs to make life easier. Store in the fridge or freezer to extend their shelf-life.
Here’s to being healthy!
