Nuts!!!

I'm back to one of my favorite subjects: walnuts.

What is there NOT to like about walnuts? Unless you're allergic to them, they are high in protein, good fats and they taste great. Best of all, they are extraordinarily good for you. Here are a few points that I've hit on in the past (click on the links to read the source):

Walnut consumption lowers several markers of heart disease.

Walnut consumption helps to keep bones strong.

Walnut consumption lowers the risk of developing Alzheimer's.

And most recently:

Walnut consumption prevents and slows the growth of breast cancer tumors AND

Walnut consumption slows the growth of prostate cancer tumors.

So sprinkle a handful on your cereal in the morning, your salad at lunch or your pasta at dinner. Maybe together we can change the saying to:

Several walnuts a day keep the doctor away!
