5 Healthy Nuts That Should Be Part of Your Diet

Healthy nuts are a great snack option once you reach the maintenance phase of the HCG Diet. They're high in fat and protein, which helps you to feel satisfied, but low in carbs. However, not all nuts are created equal. Some nuts offer far more benefits than others.

 

In this blog post, we will look at five of the healthiest nuts you can eat and why they're so good for you. Here are the best nuts to add to your diet for better health, energy, weight loss, and more.

 

1. Almonds

 

Almonds are one of the most popular nuts, and for good reason. They are a tasty snack that pairs well with all sorts of other food, such as Greek yogurt, and they're packed with healthy fats, fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Also, almonds are shown to lower cholesterol levels and protect against heart disease [1].

 

2. Walnuts

 

Walnuts are another excellent choice when it comes to healthy nuts. Like almonds, they're full of healthy fats, fiber, protein, and vitamins and minerals. Walnuts have also been linked to reduced inflammation and improved brain health [2]. Walnuts have a mild and inoffensive taste that means they can easily be incorporated into all kinds of other healthy snacks, along with being eaten on their own.

 

3. Pistachios

 

Pistachios are a little different from other nuts in that they're lower in fat and higher in protein. But it's this uniqueness that makes pistachios a great addition to your diet! They're also a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Pistachios have been shown to boost heart health and protect against certain types of cancer [3][4].

 

4. Macadamia Nuts

 

Macadamia nuts are native to Australia but have become increasingly popular in the United States in recent years thanks to their rich and buttery taste. They're similar to other nuts in that they're high in healthy fats and nutrients. Additionally, macadamia nuts have been linked to improved blood sugar control and weight loss [5].

 

5. Brazil Nuts

 

Brazil nuts are actually seeds rather than true nuts, but they're often lumped in with nut varieties. However, with a creamy, smooth taste, Brazil nuts are a great choice for people who don't usually enjoy nuts. They're also an excellent source of selenium, which is an important nutrient for maintaining thyroid function. Brazil nuts have also been linked to reduced inflammation and better blood sugar control [6].

 

As you can see, there are plenty of reasons to make nuts a part of your diet. Not only are they packed with essential nutrients, but they also offer numerous health benefits. Nuts are allowed on the DIY HCG diet and recommended as a snack. So next time you're looking for a healthy snack option, reach for a handful of nuts of your choice instead of unhealthy junk food!
