Nuts in general can be extremely healthy and we have advised and continue to advise people to eat nuts in healthy doses. However, it must also be pointed out that, just as with anything else, when taken in excess, nuts could have a significantly bad effect on health and fitness. Read on to see 5 good reasons why you should not overeat any type of nuts:

1. Weight gain

Most nuts are relatively high in calories compared to their size and they can protect against weight gain if eaten in sensible amounts; on the other hand, if you eat to many, you will end up overloading your body with calories which could lead to weight gain.

2. Allergies

Allergies are not always hereditary and can sometimes be developed or acquired. This is one risk you run when you eat too many nuts on a regular basis. This will happen when white blood cells of the immune system produce histamines in response to glutamine found in most nuts.

3. Cancer

Nuts contain a chemical called jugione which can cause cells to grow and multiply uncontrollably and can eventually cause cancer, particularly cancer of the lip; but, only after an extended period of use.

4. Constipation and other digestion problems

Although fiber does help in easing constipation and many other digestion abnormalities, if too much of it is in the belly, it can in fact cause or increase constipation as they contain high levels of fiber, and fiber in the belly will cause constipation and other digestion abnormalities like bloating (excessive gas in the digestive system that can cause the belly to swell) and cramping.

Nuts are usually an extremely healthy food but when taken in excess, they can have significantly negative effects on health and fitness. A general guideline for just how many nuts to eat per day, is no more than an ounce per day.

There are very many different types of nuts including; almonds, walnuts, pistachios, cashews, peanuts, groundnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, pine nuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, brazil nuts, and on and on. The list is probably nearly limitless. Technically, nuts are hardened seeds of plants which have many benefits to our health all of these provide benefits to our health.

Although they were considered unhealthy not too long ago, more and more evidence is surfacing that they indeed have many benefits for health.

It is recommended to take at least 1.5 ounces or 42 grams of nuts every day, but you should know that some nuts are more healthy than others. Read on to see the top 3 most healthy types of nuts and just why we think you should be eating them as often as possible:

1. Walnuts

Walnuts are one of the best nuts in the world; they contain some of the most powerful antioxidants known and in large quantities, which prevents cellular damage that can lead to heart disease, cancer, and premature aging.

They are also rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acids which can fight inflammation. Also, L-argine which can also be found in walnuts in huge amounts, helps reduce blood pressure.

2. Almonds

Almonds are also known as the “Miracle Nut”. Almonds are high in fiber which can prevent colon cancer and are also high in vitamin E, an antioxidant which boosts the immune system and can reduce damage to cells.

They are also high in minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium. You can get twenty five percent of your magnesium a day from almonds and they contain more calcium (which strengthens bones) than an equal amount of cow milk.

Almonds are also high in vitamin E which can boost the immune system and also act as an antioxidant to reduce cell damage.They reduce blood sugar and insulin levels, which can lead to a lower chance of acquiring type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

In a recent study, they were also proven shown to reduce weight as they are low in calories but high in healthy fat that helps your body to burn unhealthy fat.

3. Pecans

Pecans are rich in antioxidants like vitamin E, which reduce the chances for diseases like Alzheimer’s, heart disease and cancer.

They have also been proven to reduce weight by lowering cholesterol in the blood and are rich in over twenty vital minerals and vitamins we need.

We all love nuts, and with the exception of people who might have an allergy to nuts, we would encourage everyone to feast on nuts every day.

1. Nuts can help prevent constipation, gas and bloating

Constipation happens when food is stuck and cannot move smoothly or properly through the digestive system. It gets stuck in the intestines so no more food can be digested causing your belly to swell.

This can be prevented by eating nuts which are rich with a nutrient called fiber.

Fiber is mostly not digested by the digestive system, but it prevents constipation by moving through the digestive system smoothing out the walls of the intestine so food can pass through without any difficulties.

Bloating is happens when gas (either swallowed or released from bacteria in the stomach) trapped in the digestive system causes the belly to swell because food is stuck and cannot move. Again fiber in nuts smoothens out the digestive system so food can move easily and gas is easily removed.

2. Nuts can boost the immune system

Nuts have high levels of vitamin E, vitamin B, and magnesium which are important components of the immune system.

3. Nuts can help prevent cardiovascular diseases

In a recent study, nuts were shown to be beneficial to those who were especially at risk of heart and other cardiovascular diseases.

This is because they contain an amino acid called  L-arginine, which has been proven to decompress blood vessels, making them more flexible and less prone to blood clots that could block blood flow.

Nuts are the largest source of L-arginine in nature and they have also been proven to contain healthy fats that the heart uses, increasing blood vessel performance and reducing irregular heartbeats.
