Health Secrets? Nuts!
By Bob Elliott of EASTERN SHORE PHARMACY

A steady stream of research suggests that nuts such as macadamias, almonds and pecans can
promote cardiovascular health and lower the risk for heart attacks and strokes. Yes, nuts have a lot of oil, but they are also low in carbs, high in protein and contain plenty of nutrients that are essential to a healthy diet.

Why are nuts so good for you? Nuts are rich in monounsaturated oil and support a healthy, permeable liver that allows LDL (bad) cholesterol to pass more easily through your liver and out of your body.

A diet rich in monounsaturated fats can pay health dividends such as:

Stronger heart - the 1993 Iowa Women’s Health Study found that women who ate nuts more than twice a week cut their risk of heart trouble by 60%; Loma Linda University conducted a ten year study in California that showed that eating nuts five or more times per week could cut your risk of heart attack or death from heart disease in half.

Looser clothes - Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital found that dieters who had eaten a diet high in monounsaturated fat were more likely to keep off the weight they lost than those on a low-saturated fat diet.

Hunger relief - a new study by Pennsylvania State University and French colleagues consistently proved that volunteers who were fed lunches containing high-mono oil were less hungry later that those fed polyunsaturated oil-containing foods.

Bigger muscles - Studies have shown higher testosterone levels in men who eat more monounsaturated fat; the more natural testosterone you produce, the more easily you’ll gain muscle.
Faster thinking - Italian men whose daily diets included about 75 grams of monounsaturated fat scored
better on cognitive tests than men who ate less than that. One theory is that the neuronal cells in our brains require more monounsaturated fatty acids to keep their membranes strong as we age.

Fresh-roasted, chocolaty covered KETO™ NUTS contain only 1-2 grams of net carbohydrates and are
a rich source of heart-healthy monounsaturates. The scrumptious chocolaty coating is aspartame and
saccharin free. KETO NUTS have zero cholesterol and are rich sources of health cardio nutrients arginine, fiber and vitamins. Go ahead - go nuts!
