Secrets of eating smarter: what you need to know about ... oils, nuts and beans.
Sure, you've heard that fruits and vegetables are good for you; that restaurant portions are too big; and that you may need to take some supplements to round out your diet.
But even a casual glance at public health statistics shows that most Americans don't have a clue about how to put that information into practice.
Over the next five issues we'll look at five different food groups and give you the facts you need to eat smarter with less effort. This issue: oils, nuts and beans.
Restraining Order
Research shows that nuts protect against heart disease and diabetes. But yes, you can have too much of a good thing. For all their benefits, nuts and seeds are high-calorie foods because of the oils they contain. And many come laden with salt. But don't let that keep these nutritional powerhouses out of your daily diet. Simply think handfuls, not bowlfuls.
A good serving? Probably the best advice is to have a handful--9 to 15--of a variety of nuts daily, especially walnuts and almonds.
And legumes? No restraint required. They're low in fat and calories and are packed with nutrients and fiber.
