You are what you eat…. NUTS!

Sometimes nuts get a bad reputation as ‘fattening’ because of their high energy content. I am here to put your mind at ease and explain why nuts are a healthy snack. Here are some of the many benefits of including 30g (a small handful) of nuts into your diet:

Nuts contain a high amount of fibre, protein and healthy unsaturated fats to keep the hunger pangs away.

It’s all in the crunch! The crunching that happens when we eat nuts sends signals to our brain our satiety.

The cell wall of a nut contains components which stop our bodies from absorbing around 20% of the fat contained in the nut.*

So grab yourself a small handful of your favourite nut and enjoy the taste and added health benefits!
