WALNUTS FAVORABLY AFFECT BODY COMPOSITION

Most people are under the false impression nuts are bad foods because they are high in fat. However, study after study indicates nuts favorably effect many aspects of health including heart disease and diabetes. In this study, subjects were provided walnuts (12% of total calories) for 6 months. Measurements of body composition indicated that subjects eating walnuts gained fat-free mass and lost fat mass. Blood glucose was also significantly decreased. Nuts are an excellent snack and promote health and maybe even fat loss.
