Packed with nutrients and healthy fats, nuts and seeds can support heart health, lower cholesterol, and add natural energy to your diet.
Nuts and seeds have been part of the human diet for thousands of years — in fact, they were among the very first foods we learned to eat. They help reduce cholesterol, lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer.
Thanks to their essential fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, they also support brain function, improve vision, and can be especially helpful during periods of intense mental effort. They’re equally beneficial during heavy physical training, helping to soothe joint discomfort and speed up recovery.
Contrary to common belief, nuts don’t cause weight gain when eaten sensibly. In fact, they’re a healthy choice during dieting, as long as you enjoy them raw and maintain a balanced approach. Raw nuts and seeds are also an important part of anti-ageing and therapeutic diets.
How to eat them
A portion of about 70 g — roughly a handful — of walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds, paired with a glass of water or drinkable yogurt, makes a quick and nourishing meal for busy days when you can’t sit down to eat.
Mix it up: the greater the variety, the more nutrients and benefits you’ll get. Remember to chew well — digestion starts in the mouth, where enzymes begin breaking down food. This makes it easier on your liver and digestive system. Eating slowly also gives your brain time to register fullness and satisfaction.
Whether it’s a snack on the go or a pick-me-up between meetings, DivinGarden nuts and seeds are a smart, healthy choice — keeping you fueled and helping you avoid less nutritious fast-food options.
Pair them with our fresh or dried fruits to create your own delicious snack combinations and enjoy their full nutritional power.
