Good Morning!

On a recent trip to Costco, I spent about $400 on nuts to last several months. I worried I was a bit nutty, but felt better after reading Alexandra’s article about the anti-cancer benefits of nuts.

My favorites are pecans, walnuts, and macadamia nuts, but I also love Brazil nuts, almonds, peanuts, pistachios, and pumpkin seeds (not a nut I know)—ok I love them all. I include as many different nuts as I can to enjoy their unique health benefits and delicious crunch. I always carry some around as an emergency snack and add them to many things: yogurt, cottage cheese, oatmeal, cookies, muffins, salads and savory dishes. I even make homemade cashew milk for my tea and coffee.

We all know nuts are good for us, but it’s helpful to be reminded just how beneficial they are, even in preventing cancer. Walnuts loaded with omega 3’s that reduce inflammation and the amygdalin in almonds shows promise as a cancer treatment. Even the humble peanut packs beta-sitosterol that may protect us from colon, prostate, and breast cancer.

I typically buy raw nuts to avoid the processed oils added to roasted and salted nuts. If you prefer salted nuts, you can mix raw and roasted to reduce the oils but get some of the same flavor. You can also roast them yourself at home with good oils and quality salt. Delicious and nutritious, nuts are like candy and potato chips combined—a sweet and savory treat that gives you real fuel to live well. Who needs processed snacks when you have such healthy deliciousness? While nuts are calorie-dense, most people don’t eat enough. So go a little nuts for some nuts! Your body will thank you.
