October 22nd
National Nut Day
Nuts are a good protein food. Yes, they
have fats, but largely unsaturated, heart-healthy fats which have
been shown to lower LDL cholesterol. Researchers have found that people who eat nuts
regularly have lower risks of heart disease.*
*See the 1996, the Iowa Women's Healthy
Study, the Harvard School of Public Health study and the 2002, the Physician's
Health Study.
That makes nuts a heart-healthy food. In 2003, the FDA approved the following claim for seven different types of nuts, which contain less than 4g of saturated fats per 50g:
| “Scientific evidence suggests but does not prove that eating 1.5 oz per day of most nuts as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease.” |
The “Magnificent Seven” of nuts
include:
|
 |
These varieties of nut contain less than
4g of saturated fats per 50g. If certain favorites aren’t on the list—for
example, macadamia nuts—it’s because they’re higher in saturated fat (the bad
fat).
The Magnificent Seven contain heart health benefits, including:
- Fiber, part of all nuts, which helps to lower cholesterol and may play a role in preventing diabetes.
- L-arginine, which an amino acid that may make artery walls more flexible and thus less prone to blood clots that can create heart attacks.
- Omega-3 fatty acids, which, among other heart benefits, prevent dangerous heart rhythms that can lead to heart attacks.
- Plant sterols, which help to lower cholesterol.
- Unsaturated fats, which are believed to lower cholesterol levels.
- Vitamin E, which may help stop the development of plaques in your arteries and prevent coronary artery disease or a heart attack.
Of course, you can have other
types of nuts. You’ll just get less monounsaturated(good) fat and more saturated (bad) fat.
No matter which nuts you choose, the key
is to limit your intake to one to two ounces of unsalted nuts per day. Measure
at home and learn what an ounce ofpeanuts looks like.
Emptying the peanut bowl may
deliver lots of protein, but at a calorie count that is not “healthy
eating.”
