Almonds,walnuts,pistas and groundnuts are all being hailed for their quality to improve the lipid profile of an individual in other words they constitute good fat which is useful for us.Some of them contain omega 3 and vitamin E which are essential for us,Dear fellow mylotters please share......

Hi the nuts you have stated are indeed good for health .each one contains essential vitamins .But over indulging in any thing is not good for health this may lead to obesity.It is not like that they contain good fat ,but yes walnuts are loaded with omega 3 fatty acids which are good for heart and prevent aeging process ,almonds are good sources for vitaminE.So try to include them in diet

I like to pack some almonds, sunflower seeds and raisins for a day hike. These are extremely nutritious and light to carry on a day hike.
However, I do not want to have all these in my daily diet. I have a tendency to over-eat when reading or doing work. Sometimes I did not even notice that I had finished half the bottle of mixed fruits and nuts while reading newspaper. The calories easily reach 1,000, and without feeling full.
At least I control the amount of dried fruits and nuts I bring along for hiking.
