August 3 is National Grab Some Nuts Day in the United States.
Whether they be peanuts, almonds, walnuts, cashews or pecans, nuts have been an essential part of the human diet for centuries. Delicious and nutritious, they are a great source of energy and the ideal snack between meals. There's something for everyone!
Why Nuts are Good
1. Nuts are nutrient-dense. Besides being delicious, they are an excellent source of vitamins, minerals and protein. They are packed with healthy fats, dietary fiber, calcium and magnesium which benefit overall health. Nuts can reduce the risk of developing autoimmune disorders, heart disease and some types of cancer.
2. They help keep you full and satisfied. The combination of fat, protein and complex carbohydrates makes them an incredibly filling food that can help stave off hunger cravings between meals. Ideal for diabetics to avoid spiking blood sugar levels. Try adding a handful of unsalted nuts to your breakfast or lunch for satisfying fuel throughout the day!
3. Variety. Not everyone likes the same type of nut, so thankfully there are numerous choices. Plus, they come in different forms such as raw, roasted, salted or even chocolate-covered.
