Eating nuts as part of a healthy diet may be good for the heart. Nuts contain unsaturated fatty acids and other nutrients. And they’re a great snack food. They are inexpensive, easy to store and easy to pack when you’re on the go.
Health benefits of eating nuts.
- A Great Source of Many Nutrients.
- Loaded With Antioxidants.
- High in Beneficial Fiber.
- Beneficial for Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome.
NB: One drawback to nuts is that some may be high in calories – It’s important to limit portions, but choosing nuts instead of a less healthy snack may help you stick to a heart-healthy diet. Adults should aim to eat about 4 to 6 servings of unsalted nuts a week as part of a healthy diet. Serving recommendations for kids vary, depending on age. Ask your pediatrician how many servings of nuts are OK for your child.
