Nuts - a healthier alternative

Ever since I can remember I've always had a thing for nuts, and I'm not talking about my family! Nuts are another all natural gift from God that are very healthy for us with many benefits.

However, like eveything else, nuts are best snacked on in moderation which usually means between 1 and 2 oz a day. While that might not seem like a lot, it is enough to benefit the body while satisfying that craving for crunchy goodness.

The important thing to consider in all of this is that the kind of nuts you snack on, whether they be almonds, pecans, walnuts, cashews, pastachios, peanuts or whatever other nut you enjoy, should be as natural as possible. No smoked, salted or barbecue flavored nuts. That only adds on more calories and sodium which as we all should know, is not great for us in the long run.
