Nuts & Seeds in snacks



In Sara Young's plan
Goal: 3. A heart healthy diet

Timing:When you are having snacks

Description:

Nuts and seeds are great snacks. They contain important nutrients like Vitamin E, Plant Sterol, Unsaturated fats, Fiber, L-arginine, Omega-3 fatty acids which lowers low-density lipoprotein or LDL or bad cholesterol. It improves the lining of the arteries and thus reduces risk of fatal heart diseases.

 

Nuts & Seeds is of 80% fat, though healthy one. So you are advised to have only in small serving.

  • 5-6 nuts are a serving size for nuts like walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews, almonds, and mixed nuts.
  • Select dry roasted rather than cooked in oil.
  • Avoid nuts that are coated with chocolate, salt or sugar. They are no good for your heart.
  • To settle on the serving size for other nuts and seeds read the food labels.
  • Nut oils also contain omega-3, saturated fats but no fiber. Don’t over heat it tastes bitter. Use it moderation.
