Nuts

STAR POWER: Walnuts are packed with omega 3 fatty acids, which is good for the nervous system and also prevents inflammatory reactions in the joints and heart. Almonds are a good source of heart friendly monounsaturated fatty acids and rich in vitamin E which is good for the hair, skin and eyelashes. They can be consumed safely by diabetics and young children as allergies are not common. The fiber helps balance insulin. Chilgoza pine is very rich in phosphorus and other minerals and micronutrients, very good for weight gain when it is eaten together with figs and honey or dates and honey.

PRACTICAL CONSUMPTION: Pop two or three at a time every day.

PRECAUTIONS: Tree nuts have to be taken in moderation as an overdose among children may lead to an allergy.
