When it comes to “super foods” walnuts are just that.  Super good for you.  They contain antioxidants called phytosterols (known cancer fighters) as well as plant based omega 3 fats.  Diets rich in omega 3′s also help keep your bones strong and healthy.

Throw some in your oatmeal, muffins, or pasta dishes.  Keep a bowl handy for snacking.  Walnuts in the shells will keep you busy working for your food…especially good for boredom eaters and TV snackers.
