BySarah Axtell, ND April 26, 2025

Eat….

Almonds for your skin because they are high in vitamin E.

Pistachios for your eyes because they are high in lutein and for your metabolism because they are high in protein and fiber.

Walnuts for your brain because they are high in omega-3 fats.

Brazil nuts for your thyroid because they are high in selenium.

Pecans for your heart because they are high in plant sterols which can lower cholesterol.

Cashews for your blood pressure because they are high in magnesium.

I love this Superfood Snacks: Spiced Nuts with Coconut as a way to get a nice variety of nuts in!
