Nutty Buddy


So sometimes you feel like a nut, but you really should all the time! Research shows that nuts have lots of goodness that keeps on giving. Did you know that eating 1 cup (approx 5 handfuls) of nuts each day can benefit you in the following ways:

*Reduce your risk of heart disease.

*Prevent weight gain & promote weight loss! (happy, happy...joy, joy!)

*Reduce your risk of Type 2 diabetes.

And if you're still not impressed keep in mind that nuts are high in protein but have no cholesterol & are very low in sodium as long as they are unsalted.

Sprinkle some nuts into your daily diet in the following foods:

* Salads
* Yogurt
* Cereal
* Pasta
* Cooked vegetables
* Muffins and pancakes (toss a handful or two into your batter)
