So, who is not suitable for eating nuts?

I. Nutritional Value of Nuts

Nuts are a complex plant-based food that not only contains unsaturated fatty acids but also many non-lipid nutrients, such as plant protein, dietary fiber, trace elements, phytosterols, and phytochemicals. Commonly eaten nuts mainly include: almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, walnuts, pine nuts, pistachios, etc. The fat content ranges from 40% to 70%. Each gram provides 23.7%-29.3KJ of energy.

Nuts are low in saturated fatty acids and rich in unsaturated fatty acids, especially monounsaturated fatty acids, which account for 62% of the energy provided by all fats. The sum of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids averages 91% of the energy provided by all fats. In addition to rich fatty acids, nuts also contain magnesium, copper, manganese, zinc, etc. Most nuts are a good source of vitamin E and also contain varying amounts of vitamin B2, niacin, potassium, selenium, iron, dietary fiber, etc.

II. These People Are Also Suitable for Eating Nuts

Diabetics

1. Low in starch, not easy to raise blood sugar. Except for ginkgo nuts and chestnuts, nuts contain very little starch but are relatively high in dietary fiber, so the risk of raising blood sugar is very small.

>2. Preventing and controlling complications. An important task for diabetics is to prevent and control cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, and nuts are quite beneficial in this regard. A 2004 study found that adding a handful of walnuts to the diet of type 2 diabetics could improve their blood lipid status. In a Spanish study of 9,000 cardiovascular disease patients, it was found that eating nuts was beneficial for controlling blood lipids and heart disease risk. Diabetics can eat nuts, but they should pay attention to the amount.

Nuts belong to low-purine foods, and their purine content is lower than soybeans and most legumes. For example, the purine content in walnuts is 25 mg/100g, in hazelnuts 37g, and in peanuts slightly higher at 79, while in tofu it is 68, in soybeans 190, and in pork 150.

People Losing Weight

Some nuts have a strong satiety effect. For example, almonds have the highest fiber content among nuts, which can effectively suppress hunger and prolong the feeling of fullness. Even walnuts, which are not high in fiber, can help control weight when consumed in moderation without increasing the total energy of the diet.
