Almonds
A 25-gram serving of almonds contains more fibre and vitamin E than any other nut, and is an excellent source of magnesium and manganese. The antioxidant function of vitamin E in almonds along with their magnesium and potassium can reduce LDL (“bad”) and total cholesterol levels, thus reducing the risk of heart disease. Ayurvedic medicine rates almonds highly for increasing brain capacity, intellect and longevity. You should take 25-grams everyday.
Brazil nuts
Referred to as an anti-cancer super food due to its rich source of selenium, an antioxidant that can protect against cancer and heart attack. Its high fibre and healthy fats content are also essential in detoxification, thyroid functions and controlling inflammation. A couple of Brazil nuts per day as a part of a mixture of healthy and delicious nuts is more than adequate to meet your selenium requirements! Eating 3-4 brazil nuts is perfect everyday and will fulfill your fats requirements.
Cashew nuts

Cashew nuts are rich in heart-friendly monounsaturated-fatty acids such as oleic, and palmitoleic acids that help lower harmful LDL-cholesterol while increasing good HDL cholesterol in the blood. Cashews can be alternatives for your meat and can be great when eating a salad. 10 cashews in the morning and you're all set!
