3. Nuts
• Nuts are a very popular food and technically considered a fruit. However, unlike most types of fruit, they
aren't sweet and are high in fat.
• They're tasty, convenient and can be enjoyed on all kinds of diets. Despite being high in fat, they also have
a number of impressive benefits for your health (and weight).
• They contain a hard, inedible outer shell that usually needs to be cracked open to release the fruit inside.
• Some of the most commonly consumed nuts:
– Almonds
– Brazil nuts
– Cashews
– Hazelnuts
– Macadamia nuts
– Pecans
– Pine nuts
– Pistachios
– Walnuts
• Although peanuts are technically legumes like peas and beans, they are often referred to as nuts because
they have similar nutrition profiles and characteristics.

4. Health Benefits of Nuts
1. Nuts Are a Great Source of Many Nutrients. Nuts are high in fat, low in carbohydrate and a great source of
several nutrients, including vitamin E, magnesium and selenium.
2. Nuts Are Loaded With Antioxidants. Nuts contain antioxidants known as polyphenols, which may protect
cells and LDL cholesterol from damage.
3. Nuts Can Help You Lose Weight. Nuts have been shown to help promote weight loss rather than
contribute to weight gain. Several studies have found that the body doesn't absorb all of the calories in
nuts.
4. Nuts Are Beneficial for Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome. 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.
5. Nuts Can Help Reduce Inflammation. Research suggests that nuts may be helpful for reducing
inflammation, especially in people with diabetes, kidney disease and other serious health conditions.
6. Nuts are high in fiber, which can reduce disease risk, help keep you full, decrease calorie absorption and
improve gut health.
7. 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. Nuts may help lower total and LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while boosting levels of HDL
cholesterol.
