Quotes of the Day

When you eat seeds and nuts with your meals, the fatty acids supplied increase the absorption of immune system-supporting micronutrients and phytochemicals significantly. For example, when you eat a nut- or seed-based dressing on a salad, you absorb much more of the carotenoids in the raw vegetables. More than ten times as much of certain nutrients is absorbed. If you are thin, physically active, pregnant, or nursing, eat 2-4 ounces of nuts a day (according to your caloric needs). It is best to eat nuts and seeds raw or only lightly toasted. [2011] - Joel Fuhrman
