The first 10 steps to losing weight
6. Eat some nuts
Studies of the effects of nuts like almonds and walnuts on overweight people show that their nutrients may help you eat less. Research at the University of Barcelona shows that nuts encourage the production of serotonin in overweight people with metabolic syndrome. Serotonin is a substance that helps transmit nerve signals and decreases feelings of hunger, makes people feel happier and improves heart health.
The scientists analyzed the broad spectrum of compounds excreted in the people’s urine and found evidence of several healthful changes connected to nut consumption. The beneficial effects of nut consumption also included reducing levels of substances in the body associated with inflammation and other cardiovascular risk factors.
