Daily Dose of Nuts is Good for Heart

Take a daily dose of nuts: walnuts, almonds, pistachios. They helps to control cholesterol. They include
unsaturated fats, omega 3 fatty acids, and fiber, 1 arginine and plant sterols. Nuts have been shown to reduce LDL, or bad cholesterol. Eating nuts also can reduce the risk of developing blood clots and improve the health of the lining of the arteries. Patients can take, choose unsalted or low salt versions and use nuts as a substitute for saturated fats, such as those found in meats, eggs and dairy products. (Mayo clinic)
