Nuts about... nuts! Part 3

Savor the Flavor


Nuts are high in fat, but the fat in most nuts is healthy, monounsaturated fat, which can help lower blood cholesterol. Good sources of monounsaturated fats include peanuts, pecans, walnuts, and almonds.
 
In addition, research studies have shown that many different nuts are helpful in reducing the risk of cancer and elevated blood pressure.
 
Nuts also provide protein, carbohydrates, and a wide variety of vitamins and minerals.
 
But wait, there's more. New research shows that eating plans that include nuts are more satisfying, leading people to eat less and control their weight. So enjoy nuts in your eating plan. They key is watching your serving sizes.
