They are small in size but very important in good nutrition. Besides being very rich, the nuts have protein, fiber and key nutrients for heart health. We are talking primarily of nuts, peanuts, almonds and cashews.
Each has properties that distinguish them: almonds are rich in Vitamin E and Calcium, Zinc chestnuts, peanuts have protein and nuts possess antioxidant and alpha linolenic acid, a component of Omega-3 acid. But all provide benefits for heart care.
According to a study by Nurses’ Health, those who eat 140 grams of nuts a week are 35% less chance of heart problems than those who eat less than 30 grams per week. Similarly, another study found that people who eat these little fruit four times a week are half as likely to suffer a heart attack than those who eat once a week.
