Crazy About Nuts
I love nuts – cashews, walnuts, almonds, Brazil and so many more. I allow myself a portion every day. They are packed with nutrients and are so good for you there’s no reason not to add nuts to your daily nutrition. It’s best if you eat them raw, without salt and unroasted. Nuts are heart…
