Unless you are allergic to nuts, I can’t think of better to-go snacks that are packed with so much goodness. If you are physically active (and I hope you are!), you need constant supply of energy and nutrition to keep up with your physical activities. Nuts are easy to pack for those of us on the go, they give you energy, keep you full, and provide the much needed protein to help build your muscles.
If you are worried about the fat content in nuts, please understand that fat in nuts does not equal to fat in your body. Nuts have what we call “good fats” which actually lower your “bad cholesterol”. As a matter of fact it’s been well documented that people who consistently include nuts in their diet are leaner than people who don’t.
Nut are particularly important to athletes like runners since the constant muscle tears cause inflammation and nuts have a great anti-inflammatory effect on the body.
There are so many benefits to nuts and the key is to mix it up and consume a few different types to get the most benefit. Here are some just to list a few:
Walnuts – heart disease protection, brain health, cancer prevention, contains anti-inflammatory omega-3, powerful antioxidant
Cashews – one of the highest in antioxidant content, copper, magnesium, prevent gallstones
Pistachios – great source of energy, carotenes, vitamin E, various vitamin Bs, copper, iron, zinc and selenium
Almonds – vitamin E, magnesium, potassium, regulate blood sugar, heart healthy
Brazil nut – extremely high in selenium (amazing for thyroid health), vitamin E, copper, magnesium

Hey there, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog site in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, great blog!
Thanks! IE is very unstable and is being phased out by most. Use Chrome or Firefox instead.
