Cashew

Cashews are a healthy, versatile food that is unique compared to other nuts and is full of nutrients essential for good health. The fats in cashews are healthy fats, the type of fat your body needs for proper functioning, and it doesn't contribute to weight gain unless taken in excess.

Cashews help prevent obesity, so nutritionists recommend eating cashews about twice a week. The healthy fats in cashews both provide energy and aid in weight loss, while fiber creates a feeling of fullness and supports the body's metabolism. This is the right choice when hunger finds you. When combined with other dry fruits like walnuts, almonds, and raisins, cashews won't have much of an effect on weight, as long as you eat them in moderation. The best way to include cashews in the diet is to snack on fewer raw cashews. When including them in main dishes or side dishes, you might consider adding them to salads or stir-fries with foods that are high in protein and lower in fat.
