Are You Crazy About Nuts?

I love eating nuts. I used to eat nuts during reviews when I was in high school and college because I can bring it along with me easily and eat it anytime and anywhere. Nuts is also considered as food for the brain, that’s what I believed.

I have read in Reader’s Digest:

“Nuts is also a health food for the heart. There was a study made in Harvard Medical School showing that men who ate a couple of handfuls of nuts each week have a lower risk of sudden death due to cardiac arrest compared to those who ate less often.”

Do you know why nuts is so healthy for the heart? Because of its high saturated fats, magnesium and vitamin E.

TRIVIA: Munching nuts may also help protect against dementia.

Dementia is a non-specific illness syndrome where higher mental functions are affected. Affected persons may not know what day of the week, month or year, not know where they are or even not know who they are. (Wikipedia)

Scientists even found out that people with a diet rich in foods containing vitamin E has less chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease, also a form of dementia.

That what nuts can do!

I still continue eating nuts but the weird thing about me: I don’t eat nuts when mixed in chocolates, ice-creams, even brownies. I don’t buy chocolate bars with nuts. It should be plain chocolate. I don’t buy ice-cream with nuts because I don’t feel like separating the nuts from the ice-cream. I love eating brownies from KFC, the one with chocolate bits and nuts. Since it’s small, I find it tolerable to separate the nuts then eat the brownies afterwards. =)

Crazy about nuts?

QUOTE of the DAY

“Even if you do things the right way, some would still be unsatisfied. Some will not appreciate what you say and what you do, and there would always be people who would let you down too. But, for as long as you speak honestly from the heart, you’ll be fine. This is not a perfect world. This is not a perfect life. Life is almost always unfair. But life loves the person who dares to live it.“

A Creed to Live By

Don’t determine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.

Don’t set your goals by what others deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.

Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart; cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life
is meaningless.

Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future.

By living your life ONE DAY AT A TIME, you will live all the days of your life.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give.

Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect; it is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.

Don’t be afraid to encounter risks.
It’s by taking chances we learn how to be brave.

Don’t shut LOVE out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find.

The quickest way to receive LOVE is to give LOVE, the fastest way to lose LOVE is to hold it too tightly and the best way to keep LOVE is to give it wings.

Don’t dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams is to be without HOPE;
To be without HOPE is to be without purpose.

Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only WHERE YOU’VE BEEN — but also — WHERE YOU’RE GOING.

Life isn’t a race, but IT’S A JOURNEY — TO BE SAVORED EACH STEP OF THE WAY.
