Most people might think that nuts are high in calories and that’s true, but nuts have many health benefits and can be a part of a healthy diet if one can restrain themselves from over eating nuts.
Research shows that eating a handful of nuts can reduce the risk of heart problems by reducing the level of cholesterol. Nuts are great source of protein and full of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids or omega 3 fat.

Nuts such as walnuts, cashew nuts, almonds, pecans, Brazilian nuts and Pistachios are nut superfoods.
