Do nuts contain fat?
Sure, nuts contain fat, but since the majority of that fat is monounsaturated, one small handful per day may actually result in health gains. Recent studies have shown that diets that include a 1- to 1.5-ounce portion of nuts per day are more satisfying, leading people to eat less and control their weight.
Almonds, peanuts, walnuts, pistachios, pecans … and the list goes on. Each tasty type has its own health benefits, but all are packed with fiber, protein, antioxidants, and a variety of vitamins and minerals (see Table 1 for a full breakdown). Nuts may help reduce blood pressure, keep the heart healthy, and decrease the effects of metabolic syndrome. Compact, portable, and easily added to a variety of dishes, nuts are convenient in addition to being filling and nutritious—a rare and welcome combination.
