Summary: <br> <br> I am a huge fan of nuts! They are wonderful either as a snack or as an ingredient in a delicious recipe. I just love eating them in granola, cereal, salads or even on their own. And the good news is that nuts eaten in moderation can be part of a heart healthy diet. That is right, I said moderation. You don’t want to eat whole cans of nuts, especially the salted kind.<br> So, since I know it’s not just me and the squirrels that enjoy nuts, I thought it was time to feature them in the show. In this episode, I will go over why nuts are heart healthy, why they should be eaten in moderation and I’ll give some nutritional information on some common types of nuts.<br> <br> Some references I used while researching this show are New Wellness Encyclopedia, <a href="http://www.calorieking.com/foods/">calorieking.com</a> and <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/nuts/HB00085">Mayo Clinic</a>.<br> The video podcast for this week is:<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.beinghealthy.tv/archives/bhtv008/">Watch That Posture!
