Have you ever thought why in India our grandma used to give us a handful of almonds, cashews, and walnuts? She might not know the detail but she definitely knew that they are very healthy. They are in fact good source of protein, unsaturated fat and Omega-3 fatty acid.
Here is a suggestion to boost your health in case you don't consume meat and eggs with nuts;
1/4 cup of Almonds (7.62 g of protein, 200 calories, 16 g of mono and poly fats)
1/4 cup of Cashews (5.24 g of protein, 200 calories, 12 g of mono and poly fats)
1/4 cup of Walnuts (163 calories, 14 g of mono and poly fats)
All together a cup full of these nuts a day will be good.
All these nuts are good for your heart, cardiovascular protection, brain function, and lower LDL. Walnuts are good source of Omega-3 which our body cant produce on its on.
I normally like to eat a handful of all these three nuts after my lunch and dinner. Also, I like soaked Almonds. I soak handful of Almonds in water overnight and eat before breakfast. Actually it became a part of my breakfast. Also, I drink the water I soak them in to not waste any nutrients that are drawn into the water.
