Walnuts aren't the only good-for-you nut. All nuts are loaded with healthy monounsaturated fat and antioxidants that can help reduce the risk of heart disease!
Packed with protein, nuts or nut-butters are a great alternative to meat, and they’re full of fiber and minerals like iron, zinc and calcium. Like any food high in fat, nuts pack a lot of calories, so it’s important to eat them in moderation. Don’t cut them from your diet, however. In small amounts, nuts can be a healthy part of a balanced diet. The reason: Fat fills us up.
Eating an ounce of almonds or cashews instead of, say, a couple of low-fat cookies will keep you satisfied longer, so you'll eat fewer calories through the day.
