Nuts!

Substitute Bad Fat Snacks With Healthy Good Fat Nuts

Benefits

If you make it a habit to eat "good fat" nuts like almonds, macadamia nuts, cashews and pecans instead of "bad fat" chips and crackers, you will reap a wealth of benefits. Nuts provide you with healthy omega fatty acids and monosaturated fats. Here are just a few of the benefits this positive habit will provide you:

Recent studies have shown that people who eat nuts on a regular basis have less heart disease then people who stay away from them. In fact, one study found that you can lower your heart attack risk by as much as    50% by consuming nuts that are rich in omega-9s at least five times a week.

New research from Texas A&M University shows that a heart-healthy diet containing pecans              can help to control cholesterol levels and other biomarkers of heart disease risk just as effectively as the American Heart Association’s (AHA) Step 1 diet.

You have my permission to go nuts! :-)

To your awesome health.
