Eating nuts reduces your risk of developing blood clots that can cause a fatal heart attack. Nuts also improve the health of the lining of your arteries. The evidence for the heart-healthy benefits of nuts isn't rock solid — the Food and Drug Administration only allows food companies to say evidence "suggests but does not prove" that eating nuts reduces heart disease risk.
Nuts contain unsaturated fats, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, vitamin E, plant sterols, and L-arginine. All of which are great for the body. Many experts believe walnuts and almonds are the best nuts to choose, but all nuts have a lot of nutrition packed into a small package.
