You would definitely have to be nuts not to incorporate this Super Food in your daily diet. Nuts contain a multitude of nutrients; protein, fiber, calcium, iron, selenium, magnesium and vitamin E. Most of the fat in nuts come from heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
Almonds are a rich source of antioxidant vitamin E, a good intake of which has been associated with a healthy heart. Peanuts contain a flavonoid called resveratrol, found in red grapes and red wine, that according to research, may have anti-cancer properties. Walnuts contain ellagic acid, another antioxidant that has been linked to cancer. And Brazils are one of the richest sources of antioxidant selenium, a mineral that’s been linked to lower rates of heart disease and cancer.
So why not add a half a cup of almonds, peanuts, brazil nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts to your Steel Cut Oatmeal, have a ziploc bag stashed at your desk for an afternoon snack, or sprinkle some nuts over a great tossed salad with grilled chicken for a fantastic, nutrious dinner.
