Nutty vegetable stew
Just
an ounce of mixeD nuts per day can help maintain good health and wellbeing.
I
have always been in love with nuts. So I did what any red-blooded,
internet-obsessed sucker for nuts/
health freak / nutty woman would have done. Well, i googled
on my nuts for their health benefits…. Spent three days reading in great details and came up with this
very concise post.
You can read more via the links here. Oh yes, what I read
and discovered makes me smile and glad I did. Nuts don’t have cholesterol and
that is the best point.
more nuts- it’s good for your body and mind.link here
Natural Health News — Research showed that eating a handful of nuts every day can help curb
hunger and reduce fat deposits in the
abdomen.
Eating a small amount of 30g, or 1 ounce, of nuts daily (of mixed raw unpeeled walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts) for 12 weeks, showed improved body levels of serotonin.
Serotonin is a substance that helps transmit nerve signals and decreases feelings of hunger, feel happier and improves heart health. Thus a way to lose weight.

walnuts
Walnuts contain omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and
phytosterols. The study showed that it can slow cancer growth and reduce breast cancer risks.

peanuts
Peanuts
contain about 25% protein (a higher proportion than
in any true nut). They are a good source of niacin for brain health and blood
flow.
the pistachio principle-
Dr. James Painter, a behavioral eating expert from Eastern
Illinois University described ‘ The Pistachio Principle’ as a method of "fooling" one's body into eating
less. Example: the slow act of shelling of pistachios, slows down eating,
allowing one to feel full faster.
The fats in pistachios are not
completely absorbed by the body. This is good in weight
loss-wikipedia.
General benefits
Nuts also provide Arginine, a substance that may
help make artery walls more flexible and less prone to blockage from blood
clot.
Many nuts are good sources of vitamins E and B2, protein, folate, fiber, and essential minerals such as magnesium,
phosphorus, potassium, copper, and selenium.
Nuts are most healthy in their raw
form. Up to 15% of the natural healthy
oils in nuts are lost during the roasting process. Raw or unroasted walnuts were found to have twice as many antioxidants
from other nuts.
Hazelnut butter is being promoted as a more nutritious spread than its peanut butter counterpart, though it has a higher fat content.

Weird problems can go nuts
Eating Pine nuts can cause taste disturbances, developing 1-3 days later and lasting between a few days to a few weeks after. The Pinus armandi species, is the cause of this bitter, metallic taste and this problem is known as "pine nut syndrome" or as "pine mouth". This armandi species are smaller and more rounded than the typical pine nuts. Cases are self-limited and resolved without treatment.
I guess if squirrels eat these.. they have really gone nuts.

DeletehI CV,
ReplyDeleteI am a nut freak since I was little, even in fried keowteow or cuttlefish dishes, love to have nuts sprinkled in.
As I suffer fm high blood pressure, my bowel movements can be irregular and discovered by taking nuts daily, it really is effective.
However there was once I overdosed (munching non-stop daily while watching movies) and I experienced some leg cramps..
Am on vacation after my doter's exams... so been offline many weeks now, therefore would like to wish you an early "Happy and prosperous New Year"... Cheers
hi katrina. God bless you and family, have a great holiday. probably the cramp is caused by the salt content in the nuts you ate.
Deletehappy new year to you too.
