In the dazzling food world, nuts are small, but they are a healthy "golden mine" to be reckoned with. They are like mini-nutrition package given by nature, and they are properly integrated into the daily diet, just like adding an invisible healthy wing to the body.
Nuts are nutritious "all-around players". Take almond as an example, it is rich in high-quality protein, which can provide key raw materials for human growth and repair. The magnesium content in cashew nuts is considerable, which helps to maintain the normal function of neuromuscular and stabilize the heart rhythm. Almond is rich in vitamin E, which is a strong antioxidant, which can "clean up" free radicals in the body properly, delay cell aging and benefit the skin. There are walnuts, which are the hearts of mental workers. The α -linolenic acid contained in them can be converted into unsaturated fatty acids, which are essential for brain development and intelligence improvement, such as adding a high-quality "fuel" to the brain, which helps the brain to think quickly and react quickly.
Eating nuts in moderation is a caring "guard" for cardiovascular disease. Eat a handful of mixed nuts every day, and the unsaturated fatty acids in them will be busy regulating blood lipids, lowering the level of "bad cholesterol", "dredging and removing obstacles" for blood vessels, and at the same time expanding blood vessels, making blood circulation smoother and blood pressure stable. Keep in the normal range. Harvard University's research found that people who eat nuts often can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, which is more natural and daily than just relying on drug prevention.
However, even the best things have a "degree". Nuts have a high calorie density. If you eat too much, it is easy to exceed the calorie limit and accumulate fat. Generally, about 10 grams per day is just right for adults, which is equivalent to a handful of nuts with shells, which can not only enjoy health benefits, but also won't make the body "in a hurry". Moreover, try to choose the original flavor. Those nuts baked with salt, frosting and frying, and the extra salt, sugar and oil can easily erase the health advantages of nuts and turn them from healthy food into "sweet burden".
There are many kinds of nuts, each of which has its own unique nutritional advantages. For example, cashew nuts have a mellow taste, which can add rich layering to dishes; Almonds have a faint fruity aroma, which can enhance the flavor of food during baking; Hazelnut has a strong aroma and is often used to make high-end chocolates and desserts. Its unique taste and aroma make it popular in the food industry. Ingeniously mixing different kinds of nuts into daily recipes can not only enrich the dining table, but also make family members enjoy delicious food and gain health at the same time. For example, sprinkling a handful of mixed nuts on yogurt for breakfast, or adding a few walnuts to a salad for lunch, can easily achieve both delicious and healthy promotion. Although nuts are small, they can add endless color and vitality to our healthy life.
