Go Nuts

Making a heart-smart grocery list? Add a bag of peanuts.

Saving your own life doesn't get much easier than this: Eat a handful of peanuts twice a week. Or almonds, walnuts, or Brazil nuts, if you prefer. Men who do this slash their risk of suddenly dying from a heart attack by almost half. Why? It's all about the good fats.

I keep a beautiful crystal bowl of unshelled almonds and walnuts along with a smaller crystal bowl for the shells on my island in the kitchen. While guests are socializing or watching me cook, they shell and eat. The smaller bowl reminds them when stop and how much they have eaten. It also slows them down so they have a chance for their body to signal when they are full. This tip was taken from my book TIPS BY KITTAY. I am a fitness professional. www.tampabaybodies.com Thank you Dr. Oz for all your great work!
