Most nuts have fibre which is good for digestive system and they have a lots of nutrients - a source of energy for our body. But there is a caution: anything too much is too bad for health. One should have a balanced diet.

Here's a link you might like: http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/common/standard/transform.jsp?requestURI=/healthatoz/Atoz/dc/cen/card/chod/alert01082002.jsp Nuts contain primarily unsaturated fat and can help lower your cholesterol level. I'm a huge fan of nuts too. I always have a container of them around.
