NUTS AND SEEDS
GOOD MONO-UNSATURATED FATS AND FIBER & MINERALS

Picture


Don't fear the fat, it's the good fat.  Monounsaturated fats found in
nuts and seeds have cardiovascular protective qualities and help decrease
oxidation of LDL (low density lipo-proteins) thereby
decreasing plaque formation in arteries.
Nuts and seeds contain fiber which helps maintain satiety, digest slowly which helps maintain blood sugar and control appetite, as well as have cardio-protective properties. 
At least 30g of fiber per day is recommended. 
 One green apple has 4-7 grams of fiber. 
White bread has less than 1g of fiber per slice,
Milton bread has 5g of fiber per slice,
Ezekiel bread has 3g of fiber per slice. 
For those following a PALEO DIET, fiber will not come from grains,
but from nuts, seeds, vegetables and some fruits. 
A good source of Paleo bread is from Julian Bakery;  www.julianbakery.com
        made from coconut flour or almond flour
