We can find nuts in many dishes – cakes, ice creams,
chocolates, but also in meat meals and salads. They are rich in protein (25%),
vitamin E – antioxidant, which protects from heart diseases and atherosclerosis.
They contains unsaturated fats, healthier ones. From the other side they are
very caloric but reasonable eating shouldn’t cause getting fat ;)
We can choose many kinds of nuts – sold by weight, in
packets, in nags or boxes. It’s very important to check country where they come
from. Nuts should be dry and for example walnuts are the best in husks.

Answering
the question from post’s title – yes, it’s worth to eat nuts but not so many.
It’s enough to eat a few daily- we will be healthier but not fatter ;)
Recently
I’ve learned also about something completely unknown for me so far – washing
nuts. They are common in India and Nepal, and their use is very wide – are not
only used for washing clothes, but also for cleaning various surfaces, washing
hair, bubble bath and many other things. They do not cause allergies, are
odorless, and are efficient and less expensive than for example washing powder.
Hmm interesting, maybe it's time to
try them?
