Anyone who cares about their health and strives to maintain a normal weight is well aware of the benefits of nuts of various types.

Some types of nuts contain vitamin E and antioxidants in such quantities that they even help prolong youth. Nuts are rich in fiber, contain magnesium, calcium, potassium, iron and other minerals.
They contain large amounts of vitamins A, B, C, D, E. What else are nuts good for, that it is still worth eating them, despite the fact that they contain a large amount of nutrients (600 kilocalories per 100 grams).

Walnuts improve memory, have a beneficial effect on the endocrine system, and help get rid of cholesterol plaques.
Cedar nuts strengthen bones, memory, improve skin condition, relieve insomnia, and help to survive depression with minimal losses.
Almonds activate metabolism and protect against dementia.
Cashews make the skin elastic and have powerful antioxidant properties. Hazelnuts help to quickly restore energy and contain a record amount of magnesium.
Despite all these wonderful qualities, nuts should be consumed with great caution. Nuts are very healthy if you eat no more than 20-25 grams per serving once a day.
This is the norm for an average healthy person (not an athlete). They are poorly digested and can cause an allergic reaction (for example, peanuts, a favorite of many). Nut oils are used in cooking and cosmetics.
Fresh nuts (without heat treatment) bring maximum benefit. You need to take dry, clean nuts, without signs of mold. It is better to choose unpeeled fruits. The best place for storage is completely dry and quite dark.
