THE PERFECT SNACK

Crazy For Nuts... the perfect snack with minerals & rich in oils

Dr. Michele Burklund June 7, 2013

At around 2pm everyday I notice that I get a little hungry...

I don't want to eat anything too large, just a snack to boost my energy and get me to dinner.

Packing some nuts is a great way to push you out of the mid afternoon slump.

Brazil Nuts

These are loaded with polyunsaturated fats and selenium.  Just one of these nuts a day will provide your daily requirement of selenium!  Selenium have been proven to reduce the risk of heart disease,  decrease inflammation within the body, and support your thyroid.

Dr. Michele Burklund Founder of Medicine Wild ALMONDS

ALMONDS

High in fat (up to 60% fat contain mono and polyunsaturated), potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, and vitamin E. It's also considered an anti-cancer food because of its potent source of flavonoids (up to 4% of an antioxidant called amygdalin). These not only pack in the nutrients but they also have been proven to lower cholesterol and heart disease!

Cashews

Excellent source of monounsaturated fats and many minerals including copper, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, biotin, and protein.

Dr. Michele Burklund Founder of Medicine Wild WALNUTS

WALNUTS

Take a closer look at this nut... what does it look like to you? Well, based on the Doctrine of Signatures walnuts are also great for brain health.

High in antioxidants, vitamin E, manganese, copper, phosphorus, magnesium, and monounsaturated fats.
