Q1 Research has found that frequently eating nuts lowers levels of inflammation related to heart disease and diabetes.
Regularly eating a healthy diet that includes nuts may: - Improve artery health - Reduce inflammation related to heart disease - Decrease the risk of blood clots, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes - Lower the risk of high blood pressure - Lower the risk of early death due to heart disease - Lower unhealthy cholesterol levels, specifically low-density lipoprotein (LDL or "bad") cholesterol and triglycerides, which can clog arteries *What might make nuts heart healthy?* Nuts are a good source of protein. Most nuts also contain at least some of these heart-healthy substances: - *Unsaturated fats.* It's not entirely clear why, but it's thought that the "good" fats in nuts — both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats — lower bad cholesterol levels. - *Omega-3 fatty acids.* Many nuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are healthy fatty acids. They may reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. - *Fiber.* All nuts contain fiber, which helps lower cholesterol. Fiber also makes you feel full, so you eat less. - *Plant sterols.* Some nuts contain plant sterols, a substance that can help lower cholesterol. Plant sterols are often added to products such as margarine and orange juice for additional health benefits, but sterols occur naturally in nuts. - *L-arginine.* Nuts are also a source of L-arginine. Some research suggests that L-arginine may lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol and improve overall blood vessel health. *What's a healthy serving of nuts?* Nuts contain fat. Even though most of it is healthy fat, the calories can still add up. That's why you should eat nuts in moderation. Adults should aim to eat about 4 to 6 servings of unsalted nuts a week as part of a healthy diet. Serving recommendations for kids vary, depending on age. Ask your paediatrician how many servings of nuts are OK for your child. Choose raw or dry-roasted nuts rather than nuts cooked in oil. One serving is a small handful (1.5 ounces) of whole nuts or 2 tablespoons of nut butter. *Does it matter what kind of nuts you eat?* Most nuts appear to be generally healthy. But some may have more heart-healthy nutrients than others. For example, walnuts contain high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. Almonds, macadamia nuts, hazelnuts and pecans also appear to be quite heart healthy. So are peanuts — though they are technically not a nut, but a legume, like beans.( so comparing peanut is nut job.) It's best to choose unsalted or unsweetened nuts. Adding salt or sugar to nuts may cancel out their heart-healthy benefits. Here's some nutrition information on common types of nuts. All calorie and fat content measurements are for 1 ounce, or 28.4 grams (g), of unsalted nuts. *Type of nut* *Calories* *Total fat* Almonds, dry-roasted 170 14.9 g Almonds, raw 164 14.2 g Brazil nuts, raw 187 19 g Cashews, dry-roasted 163 13.1 g Chestnuts, roasted 70 0.6 g Hazelnuts (filberts), dry-roasted 183 17.7 g Hazelnuts (filberts), raw 178 17.2 g Macadamia nuts, dry-roasted 204 21.6 g Macadamia nuts, raw 204 21.5 g Peanuts, dry-roasted 166 14.1 g Pecans, dry-roasted 201 21.1 g Pistachios, dry-roasted 162 13 g Walnuts, halved 185 18.5 g *How about nut oils? Are they healthy, too?* Nut oils also are a good source of healthy nutrients, but they lack the fiber found in whole nuts. Walnut oil is the highest in omega-3s. Consider using nut oils in homemade salad dressing or in cooking. When cooking with nut oils, remember that they respond differently to heat than do vegetable oils. Nut oils can become bitter if overheated. Use nut oils in moderation, as they are high in fat and calories. KR IRS 271222 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Q2 is a waste page filling question. Q4 What is meant by cultural shock?. It can be compared only within the same culture and not outside. While wearing only Katchai was practiced when blouse was not known, suddenly those wearing katchai, switched over to the blouse, it would have been THAT CULTURAL SHOCK. When the blouse goes off and again similar to katchai do appear, again there will be a shock within that culture. Where there is a culture of kissing in the open public and one who goes there, from a place where such acts are taboo, he cannot have cultural shock, but a kind of unexplainable amazement that is all. Cultural shock is applied as a misnomer on many levels. Q5 Nth time repeated; I think a p[anel of doctors must put and to. Q12 Showering is a water saver as well as water drainer; shower is enjoyable as there is no work performed as a bather. However, good water is more than sufficient to cleanse the body and remove the skin tiredness. Nadi snanam and falls bathing are such that the copious water freshens the mind. Showering was practiced once only for abhishekam of GODs and Pattabishekam of the Kings. “In fact, a daily shower may even be bad for your health.” *Washing and scrubbing removes the skin's oil and healthy bacteria, and it can become dry, irritated and itchy*. Dry, cracked skin can allow bacteria to get through, causing infections and allergic reactions.
