Health: TOWARDS BETTER HEALTH- Add a variety of nuts to your diet!

 

 

ADD A VARIETY OF NUTS TO YOUR DIET

 

 

 

Many of you enjoy eating nuts but the thought of their fat content may keep you away from eating them regularly.  Even though nuts are high in fat, they contain monounsaturated fats which are beneficial for your body.  Research has shown that eating a small quantity of nuts daily can be protective for your heart and may help in reducing blood pressure too.  Apart from fat, nuts contain proteins, vitamins and minerals - all of which are required for a healthy body and mind. 

 

Use nuts as a snack or as a salad topping, but be careful with the quantity!  Ask the dietitian for more details.
