Health Tip: Go Nuts!
Photography by: Jaeden
In the interest of cutting down your meal portions, try a handful (no more than 1/4 cup) of raw, unsalted nuts 30 minutes prior to your meal. Almonds, cashews and walnuts are all very good choices, as they are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids.
This “good” fat will prevent your stomach from emptying too quickly, and will slow down the digestive process allowing you to feel “fuller” longer. Omega-3’s have another major benefit in helping your arteries by lowering bad cholesterol (Low Density Lipids, or LDL) and raising good cholesterol (High Density Lipids, or HDL).
