How many nuts do you eat each day? Did you know that eating a handful of nuts daily is very healthy? In this article, you will find 10 recipes and tips on how to incorporate nuts into your diet easily<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Public Health Agency of Catalonia<\/a> advises eating between 20 to 25 grams of nuts daily<\/a><\/strong>. Nuts are rich in proteins, minerals, healthy fats, vitamins, and protective phytochemical compounds. As a consequence, they have a high nutritional content and their consumption is very beneficial to health.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BENEFITS FOR HEALTH<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A number of studies, such as the one conducted at Harvard in 2013<\/strong><\/a>, have corroborated that high consumption of nuts correlates with reduced mortality<\/strong> and a lower risk of suffering some cancer types, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases or diabetes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, nuts are very filling; thus, although they are high-calorie foodstuffs, their consumption is not correlated to weight increase.<\/strong><\/a> Now, the Health Channel of the Generalitat de Catalunya<\/strong><\/a> emphasises the importance of eating unsalted, unsweetened nuts. <\/strong>Moreover, they note that the healthiest nuts are those eaten raw or lightly toasted<\/strong>. Finally, they state that we must avoid fried nuts<\/strong> since the oils used are not healthy and the industry adds lots of salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
