Nuts & Dried Fruit
Nuts are small seeds with low water content and high percentages of healthy fats and fatty acids like omega-3. Although their specific properties vary depending on the type of nut, they all share common characteristics:
Nutrient Source: They are excellent sources of essential nutrients such as protein, antioxidants, fiber, minerals, and vitamins B and E.
Cardiovascular Health: Nuts help combat inflammation and heart diseases.
Cholesterol: They increase good cholesterol and reduce bad cholesterol.
Cognitive Function: Due to their high content of unsaturated fats and omega-3, they favor cognitive processes.
Caloric Content: They contain between 160 and 180 kcal per 100 grams, but despite this, many weight loss diets include them as a fundamental element because they are widely recommended for complete and balanced nutrition[1].
Here are 7 benefits of eating nuts that you should consider when planning your next weekly menu:
Bone Health: They contribute to improving bone health, especially almonds, which are rich in calcium (259 mg per 100 g).
Intestinal Function: Thanks to their high fiber content, they prevent constipation and intestinal diseases. Pistachios contain 10.6% fiber, while walnuts provide 6.5%.
Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases: The fats present in nuts (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated) help lower blood pressure and control cholesterol levels.
Blood Sugar Control: Some nuts contribute to controlling lipid and glucose levels in the blood. Additionally, they are rich in trace elements such as magnesium and potassium, ideal for preventing the onset of diabetes[2].
So go ahead and incorporate these delicious and healthy foods into your diet! 🌰🥜
