Six nutritional all-stars of the nut world

For Healthy Fat In Your Diet, Remember to Include Nuts

Even better, researchers now speculate that, rather than expanding your waistline, eating nuts may help you keep off the pounds. Enjoy these top six picks in your nut mix.

1st Place: Almonds

Per 1-ounce serving:

160 calories 14 g fat

Almonds have nearly nine times more monounsaturated healthy fat than dangerous saturated fat, says Joan Sabaté Ph.D., chair of nutrition at Loma Linda University. With plenty of protein, fiber, calcium, and iron and no cholesterol, almonds are also one of the best sources of vitamin E, which protects against stroke and cancer.

2nd Place: Walnuts

190 calories 18 g fat

Walnuts are unique among nuts because they're loaded with the same heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids in salmon (but these taste better with chocolate). In more good fat news, walnuts also have an abundance of polyunsaturated fat, which may protect against type 2 diabetes.

3rd Place: Pistachios

 160 calories 13 g fat

Recently reported to have the highest level of LDL-lowering plant sterols by researchers at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, pistachios are a great source of potassium. They?re also high in monounsaturated fat, with nearly as much as almonds.

4th Place: Peanuts

 170 calories 14 g fat

Research finds that these legumes (they're not actually nuts) are a good choice for keeping cholesterol levels at bay. These impostors also provide more protein (7 grams per serving) than true nuts do.

5th Place: Hazelnuts

 180 calories 17 g fat

Along with one of the highest ratios of good fat to bad, hazelnuts are packed with folate, a vitamin that protects against birth defects and possibly cancer and heart disease.

6th Place: Pecans

 200 calories 20 g fat

Dr. Sabaté points to these as a good choice for fighting high cholesterol — they're high in unsaturated fat and lower in bad saturated fat than other nuts.

Your upper body is proportionate in length to your legs which are shapely.
