Health E-Hint: Fruit + Nuts=A Power Snack!

If you enjoy munching on handfuls of dried fruit and nuts—you probably don’t stop to think about why these combinations are often packaged together.

Nuts are a great snack to help reduce your risk of heart trouble. But their high fat content makes some folks hesitate to use them often.

What you might not know is the fat in nuts helps increase your absorption of the nutrients in fruits and vegetables!

So enjoy an occasional handful of almonds… pistachios… walnuts… or sunflower seeds. They’re all tasty treats that can help you stay properly nourished!
