3 Nuts you MUST eat

1. Almonds
  • These nuts are top ranked for having large amounts of protein, manganese and defenders against oxidative damage. Almonds consumed on a regular moderate basis have been known to decrease the chances of heart disease. 
  • One service size of dry roasted almonds without salt = 5.9g of protein and 169kcal.

2. Walnuts
  • Walnuts have been known to decrease total cholesterol as well as LDL (bad cholesterol).  Less than the normal serving will provide you with the needed omega-3 intake per day. Studies have shown walnuts to help with sleep cycle and reduce inflammation due to carrying phytonutrients and antioxidants.
3. Pistachios
  • Need energy? Eat pistachios, they provide large amounts of vitamin B6. Pistachios are rich in protein and many other sources such as: iron, manganese, thiamine, and phosphorous. 
  • The amount of time it takes to open one and eat it has been known to help reduce appetite. Great tip for weight loss!

All in all: Eat NUTS.
