From the December Martha Stewart Living,

December 2011 Issue, page 58
Nut Health Facts

Almonds: vitamin B riboflavin, vitamin E, anti-aging antioxidant, magnesium, and molecules that prevent oxidation that leads to heart disease

Peanuts: folate, oleic acid, resveratrol – a heart anti-oxidant also found in red wine and chocolate

Pistachios: potassium, may reduce stress

Walnuts: alpha-linoleic acid, an omega-3 that boosts cognitive function, and disease-fighting gammatocopherol, a type of vitamin E

Hazelnuts: proanthocyanidins that may help strengthen blood vessels, reduce heart disease and boost brain health

Pecans: high ORAC score (antioxidant measurement), may delay age-related cognitive decline

My fourth book, Pocket Guide to Fitness, Edition II, is available on www.louizapatsis.com, http://www.Authorhouse.com, www.BarnesandNoble.com and http://www.Amazon.com.
