High Cholesterol?


We know that nuts are a great natural food, and a great source of protein, vitamins, and good fats, but recent research suggests that just 20g of Macadamia nuts a day can help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) levels, and internal inflammation, therefore helping the body battle against coronary artery disease, or heart disease.
And a further study at the University of Newcastle, involving subjects with elevated cholesterol levels, found that participants who ate macadamia nuts showed significant reduction in blood serum cholesterol, total blood triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, and blood clots.

Further reasons why you should include nuts in your daily eating plan.
