The benefits of walnuts can be obtained by small additions to our regular diet. One study found that women who ate at least 1 ounce of walnuts each week, had a 25% lower risk of developing gallstones.In a recent article, Dr. Oz offered a "trick" to get our appetites under control--eat walnuts before dinner. According to Dr. Oz, the healthy fat in six walnut halves triggers a chain reaction that slows the rate at which the stomach empties. This results in less overeating.
Consider the following suggestions...
- Sprinkle a handful of walnuts on your tossed salad or steamed vegetables.
- For dessert, top a baked apple or poached pear with walnuts.
- Mix crushed walnuts with plan yogurt and top with maple syrup.
- Add walnuts to poultry stuffing recipes.
