Invite some nuts to your party
Research suggests that munching on 1.5 ounces per day of most types of nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, and pistachios, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. Nuts have been shown to help lower the bad LDL cholesterol in the blood.Joans Tip: To help avoid your guests from going nuts over the nuts, buy only unshelled nuts. The work involved in getting the nut out of the shell will help pace their consumption. Just remember to have some empty bowls available for the shells.
