I make my own nut mix using all 5 mentioned, plus macadamia and Brazil nuts which I buy at the Bulk Barn (deluxe mix )Then I add dried cranberries, raisins, sunflower seeds, and some chopped dried fruit . A half cup per day has been keeping the doctor at bay since I had a stent inserted into an artery 4 years ago . (78 years old now)

Hmmm walnuts look lovely, I don't have any at home, it's driving me nuts.

I'm surprised you didn't include pecans. They in fact possess many of the same nutrients and health benefits that you mentioned for these other nuts you included.

If possible could you please make video on eating the same thing everyday and whether there is any nutritional loss or problems in doing so. I am a poor college student, so mostly sticking to rice, beans and vegetables on a daily for my diet. Thanks!

Thanks for your balanced, scientifically based insight.

One quick search on YouTube shows there is all matter of bro-science, saying how some nuts are calorific or demasculating 🙄

[feralsage]

Thank you for your always-informative videos.

I'm so pleased you added peanuts/ I love peanuts on my ketogenic diet.

Oh wow I've been eating all 5 nuts for a while. I'm glad to know their health benefits. I buy these in a greek coffee and nut store. In the nut roaster section there's a tray with mixed nuts having all the 5 nuts as mentioned in the video but with hazelnuts aswell. I buy 1kg for around $23. I've been eating a handfull a day with coffee right before a workout and it's lasted me for 2 weeks.

I enjoy eating almonds and walnuts mostly. Especially in oatmeal or in my shakes

I found that most nuts are incredibly hard to digest if not chewed up properly inside one's mouth. the result > sever constipation a day or so later. Always ground up the nuts as best as you can before eating!

I just watched another video about Brazil nuts. It was said that "out of all the nuts, Brazil nuts have the highest amount of phytic acid which binds minerals *including selenium.* If you consume them raw, you'll have too much phytic acid and you'll block not only selenium, but also zinc, iron, magnesium, and calcium, as well as chromium, manganese and copper." Thoughts?? I just recently bought a bag of them and am confused over all the different information out there on it. 😞

THANKS for the info: it was VERY HELPFUL. I'm diabetic and always looking for better ways to control my blood sugar level. :D Ken

Many thanks for the valuable information you've provided.

I am surprised you mentioned peanuts and did not include macadamia nuts!

I've started 20 years ago eating 6 wallnuts at the end of my daily lunch( except Sunday) and I'm still here at 78 without ever having been hospitalized (knock on wood!!!). 3 espresso coffees (antioxidants) every day from 7 to noon, ginger and tumeric herbal tea in the afternoon, fruits and vegetables...., but my personal most important thing in the morning as I wake up is to drink 2 full glasses of still water with the empty stomach to cleanse the kidneys..

[omhari]

Most if not all nuts, seeds, beans, lentils and legumes must be soaked in fresh drinking water at least overnight or upto 24 hrs to reduce/release anti nutrients and to make them healthier and more digestible. Unsoaked ones can cause more harm than good. Kindly research. Thank you :))
