Are Nuts Healthy To Eat?
Nuts are one of those foods that have gotten a bad reputation for being unhealthy, but they have numerous health benefits! Most nuts share common macronutrients, including proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. They’re low in saturated fats and incredibly high in ‘healthy’ fat. Nuts are full of fiber and are also rich in Vitamin E, folate, magnesium, zinc, calcium, and potassium.
