Everyone’s looking for the ‘perfect nut’ to eat and get the longer life without getting any fatter. But up until now, there’s no ‘perfect nut’. As for the preferred nuts, eating your favorite from walnuts, almonds, pistachios or peanuts, one’s health will still benefit from the previous ones. And for sure they need to be unsalted to prevent water retention.

Nuts could be eaten in a buttering figure, sprinkled on cereal, tossed into salad, topped on fruits or crackers but also in the buttery figure of it, and surprisingly sauced up on fish or chicken. Try this diet, and results will surely be guaranteed. But make sure they are unsalted, not covered with chocolate or honey. This way, consuming nuts five days a week, maybe more, is really good for individuals.
