Open Topic: Secrets of Nuts

Now I'm eating nuts. Cannot stop eating nuts. How tasty they are......!

But I notice I'm eating too much and I begin to wonder whether nuts are good or bad to our health. So I search for their effects on the health. There are many good effects, so I will pick out several things.

•  Making the skin beautiful

Most nuts contain vitamin E, which has antioxidant effect on cells. Almond contains the vitamin more than other nuts. And almond also has rich minerals, so it can help many women who suffer the lack of calcium.

• Helping liver's function

 Do you eat nuts with alcohol? There is a reason. Methionine, one of amino acids which nuts contains, can exclude alcohol and wasteful things from our body and promotes metabolism. So methionine prevents our body from having too much fats or alcohol and protects liver's function.

• Improving memory and preventing dementia

Nuts, especially walnut, have many good effects on brain and mental state. Vitamin B1 helps to decompose sugar and promotes brain's function. Choline, peanuts contains, is closely related to brain's function and dementia. 

 Nuts can keep us healthy. But, of course,  it is not good to eat too much. It is the best to eat them for 200 calories per day. It is equivalent to a handful of nuts. We should have nuts everyday for keeping our health. Then , I can eat them without hesitation. :O
