Health Benefits of  Pecans

A serving of raw pecans makes a healthy snack that provides an excellent source of dietary fiber, protein, and antioxidants. Research suggests that eating pecans as part of a heart-healthy diet can reduce total and LDL “bad” cholesterol levels. They are rich in oleic acid, the same monounsaturated fat found in salmon and fatty fish that protects the cardiovascular system. Pecans are also high in nutrients such as zinc, vitamin E, and vitamin A to boost the immune system and ward off illness. Now that’s a snack your whole body will appreciate!
