๐ฅ Nuts are a great source of protein and fat. The crunchy snack is known to promote better heart health, lower cholesterol, and even weight loss.
๐ Even though nuts are a healthful food it's possible to overeat them. Although they contain healthy fat, we don't want to overload our bodies with them. Which is easy to do considering how small they are.
๐ค How do you know if you're eating too many nuts?
๐ฌ๏ธ Gas and bloating are telltale signs because of compounds in nuts called phytates and tannins, which make them difficult to digest.
๐ฟ๏ธ To curb this, eat nuts like a squirrel. Slow down and crack open a nut as opposed to taking a handful without even thinking about it. This way of mindful eating will help you keep your nut intake in check.
