Nuts and Allergy

Posted by Kimberly Green ⋅ December 7, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

NutsThe nuts are relatively high in fat, so we tend to exclude them from the diet when what is intended is to lose weight.

However, it is scientifically proven that, despite the high fat they possess, their are monounsaturated fatty acids. It was shown that by replacing saturated fatty acids with monounsaturated or polyunsaturated acids may decrease blood levels of LDL, the famous “bad” cholesterol.

But nuts also have other qualities: almost all of them – almonds, cashews, peanuts and walnuts – are an excellent source of antioxidants like vitamin E and selenium. Nuts and nut oils are also good sources of omega-3 acid, associated with reducing heart disease. Finally, these small delights have the power to give us a feeling of satiety that could prevent chewing anxious and weight gain.

One against the nuts – apart from its high calorie content, as we have seen – is that they can cause allergies. An estimated 1 in 200 people is affected, even slightly, this allergy.

For all this it is important that you consult your doctor nuts, what amounts to include in your diet and if there is possibility that you are allergic to them.
