Why you should include nuts in your meals

There’s a reason your mom made you eat a handful of quality dry fruits every now and then. If you’ve stopped, you’re missing out on nutrients and smart snacking.

Filling but healthy: controlled portions keep mid-day hunger away without the high calories.

Good for the heart: walnuts are rich in omega-3s, fibre and antioxidants; pistachios help lower bad cholesterol.

Good for the brain and gut: walnuts carry DHA, almonds and dates bring fibre and “good” fats that support digestion.

A powerhouse of nutrients: protein, iron, zinc, potassium, magnesium and B vitamins. And because fibre and protein keep you fuller for longer, nuts fit easily into weight-loss and keto diets.
