I’ve always been someone who loves munching on crunchy snacks. It’s hard for me to sit down and watch a game or movie without wanting a snack to go with it.  Unfortunately I started gaining a little weight because of this habit and then I tested high for cholesterol as a result.  I did a little research and learned that almonds are good for cholesterol and so I started snacking almost exclusively on roasted almonds instead of chips and cheese crackers. But I was stunned when my next blood test didn’t reveal any positive results.  I told a friend about this and he said I could have the best of both worlds. He said I could keep eating almonds and lose weight and lower cholesterol at the same time.

He explained to me that there’s a big difference between eating raw nuts and eating roasted nuts. He really surprised me when he said that raw almonds are on a list of cholesterol lowering foods. He explained how heated fats are terrible for the body and that munching on a can of roasted nuts was not doing my waistline, cholesterol, or triglycerides any favors.  It turns out that most raw nuts are actually very healthy.  So I’m still munching away – but now on raw nuts – and getting healthier doing it.
