Almonds : Good for health

Nuts are very good for you, with heart-healthy fats (mostly unsaturated), plant sterols and fibre that can help reduce bad cholesterol levels.

Walnuts are some of the best plant-based sources of helpful omega 3 fatty acids. These fats are also found in fish, such as salmon.

Nuts can be a better snack for you than cheese or fatty meats and better than crackers, pretzels and chips.

Researchers found that people who eat nuts regularly have lower risks of heart disease.
