Go nutty with nutrition
Nuts provide numerous health advantages. The Mayo Clinic explains nuts can improve the lining of arteries, reduce inflammation linked to heart disease and reduce the risk of developing blood clots because they lower the number of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides, which improves heart health.
Not only are nuts an essential healthy diet but below are our 5 top quick-fix lunches that pack in the nuts and lessen inflammation:
- Smashed avo on toast with sliced tomatoes and a sprinkling of sesame seeds
- Mixed fruit smoothies with a heaped spoonful of peanut butter

- Chickpea and creek salad with a dash of peanut butter dressing
