healthiest nuts for women are high in fat and calories, they offer a variety of health and wellness benefits.<\/p>\n Studies<\/a> show that adding nuts to your meal plan can reduce chronic diseases, improve blood cholesterol levels, optimize heart health, and reduce body fat without affecting body weight \u2014 despite the fact that nuts are high-calorie foods.<\/p>\n Nuts offer you the perfect satiating blend of heart-healthy fats, protein, fiber, and micronutrients.<\/p>\n They keep you full for long periods of time, reduce hunger, and can diminish cravings for less-nutritious junk foods.<\/p>\n If you haven't already, consider adding some of the healthiest nuts and seeds to your meal plan to maintain optimal health and wellness!<\/p>\n Almonds offer women numerous healthy benefits.<\/p>\n In fact, studies<\/a> show that eating just one serving of almonds for six weeks can reduce your risk of heart problems and enhance abdominal fat loss.<\/p>\n Researchers found that eating almonds can decrease total cholesterol, bad cholesterol, blood sugar, and insulin resistance, while increasing good cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n The nutrition breakdown of a 1-ounce serving of almonds<\/a> is as follows:<\/p>\n Almonds are also a good source of vitamin E, magnesium, manganese, copper, vitamin B2, and phosphorous.<\/p>\n Add almonds to salads, protein shakes, homemade protein bars, smoothies, breakfast cereals, oatmeal, and trail mix.<\/p>\n Or, eat a handful of almonds between meals to curb hunger.<\/p>\n Like almonds, walnuts are loaded with heart-healthy fats, fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals.<\/p>\n They're also an excellent source of brain-enhancing omega-3 fatty acids.<\/p>\n Omega-3s help you maintain a healthy heart and are crucial for optimal brain functioning.<\/p>\n In addition to reducing high cholesterol and heart disease risks, studies<\/a> show that consuming walnuts on a regular basis may improve cognition, reducing your risk of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease.<\/p>\n The nutritional breakdown of one serving of walnuts<\/a> is as follows:<\/p>\n Walnuts are also a good source of folic acid, copper, phosphorous, vitamin B6, manganese, and vitamin E.<\/p>\n Add walnuts to salads, smoothies, oatmeal, breakfast cereals, or Greek yogurt.<\/p>\n Eat them with other protein- or fiber-rich snacks between meals.<\/p>\n Add walnuts to homemade protein bars or shakes too!<\/p>\n Pistachios contain more protein than many other nuts and seeds.<\/p>\n They are versatile and have a distinct flavor, which works well in a variety of healthy recipes.<\/p>\n Studies<\/a> show that healthy women who added pistachios to their meal plans for 12 weeks experienced improved nutritional profiles while maintaining their current body weights.<\/p>\n Additional research<\/a> shows that pistachios can improve glucose metabolism, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and blood vessel functioning.<\/p>\n These nutritious nuts can reduce heart disease risks, inflammation, insulin resistance, blood pressure, and body mass index (BMI).<\/p>\n The nutritional profile of a 1-ounce portion of pistachios<\/a> includes:<\/p>\n Pistachios are also rich in potassium, phosphorus, thiamine, vitamin B6, copper, and manganese.<\/p>\n Add these nutrition nuts to oatmeal, yogurt, shakes, smoothies, protein bars, salads, or trail mix.<\/p>\n If you're in the mood for a sweet-tasting treat, try a nutritious pistachio ice cream recipe<\/a>!<\/p>\n \t\t Fit Mother Project is the first sustainable

women.<\/p>\n Cashews are also loaded with heart-healthy fats, protein, fiber, and numerous micronutrients.<\/p>\n Studies<\/a> show that adding cashews to your meal plan can improve triglyceride levels and blood pressure, thereby reducing your risk of heart attack and stroke.<\/p>\n Eating these nutritious nuts can also lower your risk of nutritional deficiencies.<\/p>\n The nutrition breakdown of 1 ounce of cashews<\/a> is as follows:<\/p>\n In addition to providing about 10% of the daily value for iron, cashews are also a good source of copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, zinc, selenium, vitamin K, vitamin B6, and thiamine.<\/p>\n Top salads, soups, stir fry, wild rice, quinoa, oatmeal, or yogurt with cashews.<\/p>\n Or, add them to homemade protein shakes and bars!<\/p>\n Brazil nuts are rich in the mineral selenium, which is a disease-fighting antioxidant.<\/p>\n Additional health benefits<\/a> associated with eating Brazil nuts include a lower risk of cancer, heart disease, and other chronic conditions, as well as optimal cognitive function, better blood sugar control, improved thyroid health, and a strong immune system.<\/p>\n The nutritional breakdown of a 1-ounce portion of Brazil nuts<\/a> includes:<\/p>\n In addition to being an excellent source of selenium, these healthy nuts for women are also good sources of potassium, phosphorous, magnesium, calcium, and zinc.<\/p>\n However, consuming too much selenium can lead to toxicity. The tolerable upper intake level for selenium is 400 micrograms per day for adult women.<\/p>\n Just one Brazil nut contains 68-91 micrograms<\/a> of selenium, so eating just a few of these nuts per day is plenty.<\/p>\n Many Brazil nuts are sold in packages of mixed nuts, which makes it easier to limit your intake to a healthy amount.<\/p>\n Hazelnuts are loaded with essential nutrients, including those rich in antioxidants, and offer numerous health and wellness benefits for women.<\/p>\n Research<\/a> shows that adding hazelnuts to your meal plan may reduce your risk of heart disease and high cholesterol, without affecting body weight.<\/p>\n The nutritional breakdown of a 1-ounce portion of hazelnuts<\/a> is as follows:<\/p>\n Hazelnuts are also rich in vitamin E, thiamine, magnesium, manganese, copper, vitamin B6, folate, phosphorous, zinc, and potassium.<\/p>\n Add them to salads, soups, oatmeal, breakfast cereals, or protein smoothies!<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
