Médicos e nutricionistas dir-lhe-ão que todos os frutos secos são muito saudáveis.

São pequenos, mas muito poderosos — repletos de nutrientes desejáveis. Os frutos secos são uma excelente fonte de hidratos de carbono saudáveis, boa proteína e fibra alimentar. Acrescentar frutos secos à sua alimentação fornecer-lhe-á a energia necessária para enfrentar um dia cheio. Mas quais os frutos secos que deve ter na despensa da cozinha (para o caso de precisar de um lanche a meio do dia)?

Cada tipo de fruto seco é especial e oferece qualidades nutricionais únicas, mas quais são os melhores para nós? Eis a resposta:

Nozes

Se tem um estilo de vida intenso, uma agenda agitada e longas horas de trabalho, as nozes são ideais para si. Têm a maior quantidade do ácido gordo ómega-3 mais comum nos alimentos — o ácido alfa-linolénico. As nozes ajudam a manter o cérebro saudável. Se as consumir regularmente, pode ajudá-lo na prevenção da demência e da doença cardiovascular.

Amêndoas

As amêndoas são ricas num dos antioxidantes mais poderosos — a vitamina E. Esta ajuda a proteger as células dos danos causados pelos radicais livres. A vitamina E também melhora a saúde do sangue, mantém a pele e os olhos saudáveis e apoia o sistema imunitário. É um verdadeiro superalimento!

Amendoins

Os amendoins são económicos, mas contêm excelentes nutrientes. Têm um elevado teor de proteína (o mais alto entre os frutos secos). São também bastante ricos em fibra e uma ótima fonte de biotina, uma importante vitamina do complexo B. A biotina ajuda a manter os níveis de açúcar no sangue estáveis e mantém o cabelo e as unhas saudáveis.

Pistácios

Os pistácios são particularmente ricos em fibra (algo muito importante que a maioria das pessoas não ingere em quantidade suficiente através da alimentação). A fibra mantém-no saciado por mais tempo e pode também ajudar a baixar o colesterol. 1/2 chávena de pistácios contém mais de 10 gramas de fibra! Isso equivale a quase metade da quantidade diária de fibra recomendada.

Castanhas-do-pará

As castanhas-do-pará contêm minerais muito importantes como zinco, selénio e cobre. São essenciais para a saúde da tiroide, para regular a pressão arterial e apoiar o sistema imunitário.
