We were reading about the health benefits of snacking on nuts and seeds recently and what caught our attention was how nuts and seeds can provide a long-lasting energy boost which can help you maintain stamina and focus.
The website of the esteemed Mayo Clinic tells us that:
"Eating nuts as part of a healthy diet can be good for your heart. Nuts, which contain unsaturated fatty acids and other nutrients, are a great snack food, too. They're inexpensive, easy to store and easy to take with you to work or school."
They also write that:
"People who eat nuts as part of a heart-healthy diet can lower the LDL, low-density lipoprotein or "bad," cholesterol level in their blood. High LDL is one of the primary causes of heart disease."
Did you know that Magnesium, which is abundant in most nuts, can be very beneficial in the reduction of inflammation? When Inflammation may be responsible for so many health problems, including heart disease and type 2 diabetes, we were pleased to learn that consuming nuts when snacking can be a effective way to reduce that inflammation. Nuts have always been know as a great source of energy.
One of our favorite seeds to eat is the amazing Chia Seed. Did you know that they are helpful with weight loss by keeping calories from being absorbed into your system? They are also high in Omega 3s and have shown to be beneficial additions to the diabetic diet. They are very helpful in controlling blood sugars.
