Nuts are a great source of protein and other nutrients. Considered heart-healthy, almonds in particular, which are high in monounsaturated fat can help reduce cholesterol levels in the blood which can lower the risk for heart disease and stroke. While all types of fats each carry 9 calories per gram, some fats are better than others. However, as with everything else, moderation is key so don’t go nuts over the nuts. Cheesy, I know.
