Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Almonds Did you know that some high fat foods can actually be good for your health? It all depends on the kind of fat they contain. Almonds, and other types of nuts, are high in health-promoting, heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, the same type of fat found in extra virgin olive oil. Five large human epidemiological studies have found nut consumption is linked to a lower risk of heart disease. Data from the Nurses Healthy Study indicated that substituting nuts for an equivalent amount of carbohydrates in an average diet resulted in a 30% reduction in heart disease and a 45% reduction when the fat from nuts was substituted for the saturated fats in the diet! Almonds are also a rich source of vitamin E (one quarter cup supplies 41% of the daily value), a powerful antioxidant, which may also help reduce the risk of heart disease. So, the next time you are looking for a healthy, satisfying between-meal snack, think almonds. Suzi What is a weed?
