Nuts and seeds are considered a source of nutrients, but how healthy are they, and which ones should you add to your diet if you are not allergic? Mirror answers those questions for you.
What nuts to eat for weight loss and health
Healthy lifestyle expert Cory Rodriguez advises eating Brazil nuts because of their high selenium content. According to him, we are talking about 1-2 pieces per day.
One Brazil nut can contain 68 to 91 mcg of selenium, which easily meets the recommended daily intake.
Other useful foods are macadamia nuts, which are rich in omega-7 fats and have an anti-inflammatory effect. However, it's important to remember that both Brazil nuts and macadamia nuts are higher in saturated fat, and excessive consumption can lead to high cholesterol levels.
If you’re looking to bulk up, fitness aficionados are singing the praises of baru nuts for their impressive protein-to-calorie ratio. Not only do these powerhouses help build muscle; they also promote a healthier heart and may even help you shed those extra pounds.
Baru nuts are packed with nutrients such as vitamin E, magnesium, potassium, iron, and zinc.
If you're concerned about skin health, almonds may be your choice as they are also rich in vitamin E.
For your eyes, choose pistachios because they are high in lutein. This natural colorant protects the macula in the eye from damage from blue light.
