Nuts About Seeds
If you are looking for a healthy and nutritious snack that will reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer, then consider a handful of nuts or seeds.
An excellent source of protein, vitamins, minerals and fiber, nuts and seeds contain the highest fat content of any unprocessed food. Fear not though, these are essential fatty acids (omega 3 and omega 6), the good kind of fats that promote healthy skin and hair, support proper thyroid and adrenal function, promote healthy blood, nerves and arteries, and improve cholesterol. However, nuts in particular have a very high calorie content so no more than a small handful is advised, especially when trying to lose weight. 1/4 cup of nuts contains about 170-200 calories.
One very important thing to remember is that once nuts and seeds are either shelled or hulled, they become rancid which means they lose their nutrient content. Try to buy nuts in their shells when possible.

Another reason to add nuts and seeds to your diet is that they are very beneficial for fighting inflammation. “Every time you eat the wrong foods, you create inflammation in your body that will slowly but surely lead to the expression of chronic pain, cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, or whatever disease to which you may be genetically predisposed to develop,” explains deflame.com. Nuts and seeds are one food item that counter act the inflammatory process.
If you are concerned about the calorie content of nuts and seeds and how they might effect your weight, studies have shown that the high fat content in nuts is more filling so that people actually eat less. The high fiber content is also thought to inhibit some absorption of fat.
