Health Tip #25 - Nuts for a healthy heart
Some people in the past have avoided nuts because they're higher in fat.
Research suggests that people who eat nuts walnuts, pecans, almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios, pine nuts and peanuts)—two to four days or more per week have a lower incidence of heart disease than people who eat them less often.
Generally leaner people are at a lower risk for heart problems.
Most of the studies show that people who consume nuts daily are leaner than people who don't.
Nuts are filed with vitamins, minerals, heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and low levels of saturated fats.
Nibbling on 150 grams of nuts each week may cut your risk of heart disease in half.
Almonds, walnuts, pistachios and peanuts, contain good-for-your-heart fiber.
They also contain vitamin E, which helps lower bad cholesterol.
And some, like walnuts, are high in omega-3 fatty acids.
Walnuts and almonds, are loaded with mono- and polyunsaturated fat. Walnuts have lots of “good” fats.
When you use these monounsaturated fats in place of saturated fats such as butter, you cut your “bad” LDL cholesterol and raise your “good” HDL cholesterol.
Look for varieties that don't have a lot of added salt.
