Beneficial properties of nuts.

Rich in omega-3 and monounsaturated fats that support heart health.
High protein and fiber content for satiety and stable energy levels.
Magnesium, zinc, and vitamin E for brain function, immunity, and skin health.

Consume properly.

The recommended amount is 20-30g per day (approximately a handful)
Soak them before eating for better absorption.
Don't roast them โ€“ heat treatment destroys healthy fats.

  • Roasting raises the potential for forming a carcinogen called Acrylamide when fried or roasted at temperatures above 250 degrees F (121 degrees C) for long cooking times.

  • Most vegetable oils are unhealthy and contain an overabundance of omega-6 fats. In addition, some vegetable oils used to fry nuts, such as canola oil, are genetically engineered (GE).

  • Vegetable oils heated to high temperatures can easily oxidize, promoting the formation of disease-causing free radicals.

  • Nuts roasted at high temperatures may contain fewer antioxidants, vitamins, and other nutrients. In addition, high heat may damage the healthy fats in some nuts.

When can nuts be harmful?

In cases of allergies or digestive problems.
When consumed excessively โ€“ they are very high in calories.

Include nuts in your diet, but don't forget about balance!
