Benefit of Nuts

Nuts (Almonds, Walnuts,Peanuts, and others)


All nuts are high in protein and monounsaturated fat (good fats). Almonds and walnuts are the kings of nuts. Eating nuts does not result in the high caloric intake that you’d expect,
because 5-15% of their calories are not absorbed by the body.

Nuts help build muscle. In addition to having protein, almonds have an adequate amount of magnesium, which is crucial to building muscle. Fight cravings by eating 24 almonds for a snack or before a meal, then drink 8 ounces of water to suppress your appetite. The water will cause the fiber of the nuts to expand in your stomach, making you feel fuller.
