From the Wellness Team: Wellness Wednesday Dietitian Tip – Nuts for Heart Health
Nuts for Heart Health
Did you know that higher nut intake is associated with reduced risk of not only cardiovascular disease but also total cancer, all-cause mortality, and mortality from respiratory disease, diabetes, and infections? Each nut has their own nutrient profile. I encourage you to research them and snack on them during this Heart Health Month!
