GOODNESS OF PECANS
Feast on a few pecans--and help your heart. Researchers
have discovered that eating a few pecans may be as
beneficial to your blood vessels as cooking with
cholesterol-friendly olive oil. It's true, pecans are
high in fat, but almost 90 percent of the fat
in pecans is heart-healthy. Pecans have a high
concentration of a fatty acid that's found in olive oil
and other monounsaturated fats. These monounsaturated
fats can help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and preserve
HDL (good) cholesterol. And HDL helps fight heart disease.
Sprinkle pecans on salads, poultry, or pasta.
A tablespoon of pecans adds heaps of flavor and crunch
for only 45 calories. It's the perfect time to please
your palate and your heart.
