August 12th (Monday) The nuts you always eat for weight control... Are there other changes in your body?

The fats in nuts are mostly unsaturated fatty acids, different from saturated fats (like meat fat). I also make sure to eat a handful of nuts every day.

Plant-based proteins and dietary fibers promote a feeling of fullness, reducing the intake of other foods, and healthy unsaturated fatty acids help prevent cardiovascular diseases and improve cognitive abilities.

The weight loss effects of nuts...

Overeating leads to obesity vs. about a handful of roasted walnuts

 

Apart from the above research findings, most health professionals agree on the weight loss effects of nuts. Some are concerned that nuts' high calorie and fat content may lead to weight gain. However, this applies only in cases of overeating. For shelled walnuts, eating within a handful a day can have a weight loss effect. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized the labeling of walnut products with the statement, "Consuming one ounce (a handful) of walnuts daily can reduce calorie intake and lower the risk of coronary heart disease."

 

🔸️Fats in nuts?…

It is different from saturated fat (meat fat).

Healthy unsaturated fatty acids for the body~

 

Unlike the saturated fats found in meat fat and other sources, the fats in nuts are often composed of over 70% healthy unsaturated fatty acids. They help reduce triglycerides and cholesterol, which accumulate in blood vessels and cause heart and cerebrovascular diseases. They assist blood flow and contribute to the prevention of hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis, stroke (cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage), and myocardial infarction. They also promote healthy, elastic skin and have anti-aging effects.

 

Snacks for when you're hungry in the afternoon...

What if I put it in yogurt in the morning?

 

Eating processed foods every afternoon when you're hungry is the worst. Try eating a handful of peanuts, almonds, or walnuts. Even a small amount can reduce hunger and prevent overeating at dinner, helping with weight loss. A good combination is to add them to yogurt in the morning. Choose low-fat, calcium-fortified yogurt. To emphasize again, overeating nuts can also lead to weight gain. It's been very hot lately, so if left in the living room, they can easily go rancid. It's better to keep them in the refrigerator or freezer and only take out what you need.
