6 Benefits of Eating Nuts


Beachbody-blog-6-reasons-nuts
After decades of demonization for their high fat content—which in most cases is heart-healthy mono- and polyunsaturated anyway—nuts have finally claimed their rightful place among other foods long regarded as healthy.
In fact, nuts are so loaded with nutrients, they could be considered nature’s dietary supplement pill. Of course, roasted in heavy oil and salts, they become a lot less healthy but, properly consumed raw, or in some cases roasted (namely, chestnuts), nuts deliver a vast array of benefits unique to each.
Following are six overarching advantages to consuming nuts, within which are more specific nutrient benefits.

1. They Can Promote Heart Health and Circulation
Arginine
An amino acid produced by the body, arginine is implicated in healing, muscle growth, and sperm health because of its stimulation of protein production. But it’s perhaps known best for preventing arterial buildup by expanding blood vessels. Worth noting: Peanuts are not technically nuts, they’re legumes. Also, don’t eat them raw…or honey roasted. Opt for dry roasted, which are almost as healthy (but safer) as raw ones.
- Best source: Peanuts (1 g/1 oz serving – 166 calories, approx. 28 peanuts)
- Runners-up: Almonds (0.75 g), walnuts (0.7 g), hazelnuts/filberts (0.65 g – 178 calories, approx. 21 hazelnuts)

Summer Squash-veggie Burgers


Summer Squash-veggie Burgers

Submitted by:
Rate
A combination of shredded yellow summer squash, zucchini and carrot, plus onion, garlic, seasonings, Parmesan and egg, is shaped into patties and baked in the oven.
  • Servings: 6
Ingredients:
1 Large or 2 Medium Yellow Summer Squash
1 Large or 2 Medium Zucchini
2 Medium Carrots
1 Medium Onion, diced
2 cloves Garlic, diced or pressed
½ cup Parmesan Cheese
¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp Mrs Dash or Any Table Spice Blend
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Egg + 1 Egg White, beaten

Salt & Pepper, to taste
Directions:
Shred squash, zucchini and carrots in a food processor. Place it in a strainer with a large bowl beneath to catch liquids. Sprinkle on about 1 teaspoon of salt, toss and let it sit about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, lightly saute diced onion until almost done, then add garlic, and finish cooking just until onion is tender. Let cool while removing liquid from squash mixture.
Removing as much liquid from squash as possible is the most important element for the success of this recipe. Liquid should be starting to drip into bowl under strainer. Squeeze out as much as possible. Then squeeze into balls to remove the last bit.
Place squash into a large mixing bowl. Add cooled onion mixture and Parmesan cheese. (If you have flakes or a whole piece of cheese, first run it through a food processor to grate it.) Add remaining ingredients, including egg; mix well.
Form mixture into 6 patties and place on a greased baking pan. Bake at 400 degrees about 30 minutes, or until cheese is browning, turning over halfway through cooking time.
