Hello Guys ,i will write about Health benefit of eating Nuts.

-Nuts Are a Great Source of Many Nutrients

Nuts are highly nutritious. They are high in Fat and low in carbs. One ounce (28 grams) of mixed nuts contains, Calories, Protein, Fat, Carbs, Fiber, Vitamin E, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Copper, Manganese and Selenium.

Note: Cashews have almost 8 digestible carbs per serving.
-Nuts Are Loaded With Antioxidants.

Antioxidants help control free radicals, which are unstable molecules produced as a normal part of metabolism. Free radical production increases in response to heavy sun exposure, stress, pollution and other causes.

Nuts contain antioxidants known as polyphenols, which may protect cells and cholesterol from damage.
-Nuts Can Help You Lose Weight

Although they're considered a high-calorie food, research suggests that nuts may actually help you lose weight.

Almonds have consistently been shown to promote weight loss rather than weight gain.

Nuts have been shown to help promote weight loss rather than contribute to weight gain.
Nuts Can Lower Cholesterol and Triglycerides

Nuts have impressive effects on cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Pistachios have been shown to lower triglycerides in obese people and diabetics.

The cholesterol-lowering power of nuts is believed to be due in part to their high content of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Nuts may help lower total and LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while boosting levels of HDL cholesterol.

-Nuts Are Beneficial for Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome

Type 2 diabetes is a common disease that affects hundreds of millions of people.

Having a condition called metabolic syndrome is strongly associated with type 2 diabetes.

Interestingly, nuts may be one of the best foods for people with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.

First off, they are low in carbs and don't raise blood sugar levels much. Substituting nuts for higher-carb foods should lead to reduced blood sugar levels.

Several studies have shown that blood sugar, blood pressure and others health markers improve when nuts are included in diets of people with type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
-Nuts Can Help Reduce Inflammation.

Nuts have strong anti-inflammatory properties.
Inflammation is your body's way of defending itself from injury, as well as bacteria and other potentially harmful pathogens.

Research suggests that nuts may be helpful for reducing inflammation, especially in people with diabetes, kidney disease and other serious health conditions.

-Nuts Are High in Fiber
Fiber provides many health benefits.

Although your body can't digest fiber, the bacteria that live in your colon can.

Many types of fiber function as prebiotics or "food" for your healthy gut bacteria.
-Nuts Can Reduce Your Risk of Heart Attack and Stroke

Nuts are extremely good for your heart.

Several studies suggest that nuts help lower heart disease and stroke risk because of their benefits for cholesterol levels, artery function and inflammation.
Nuts may significantly lower your risk of heart attack and stroke. That's because nuts increase LDL particle size, raise HDL cholesterol, improve artery function and have various other benefits for heart health.
Finally: Nuts are undeniably tasty and satisfying.

They can be enjoyed whole, as nut butters or chopped up and sprinkled on food.
It's actually quite easy to make your own homemade nut butter using whichever combination of nuts you like.

Nuts can be purchased in grocery stores or online. They are available in a wide variety of options, including salted or unsalted, seasoned or plain, raw or roasted.

In general, it's healthiest to eat nuts raw or toast them in the oven at a temperature below 350°F (175°C). Dry-roasted nuts are the next-best option, but try to avoid nuts roasted in vegetable and seed oils.

Nuts can be kept at room temperature, which makes them ideal for on-the-go snacks and traveling. However, if you're going to be storing them for long then a refrigerator or freezer will keep them fresher.

At the end of the day, nuts are a highly nutritious and super tasty food that can fit into almost everyone's diet.

Eating nuts on a regular basis is a very enjoyable way to improve your health.
