"Nuts are a perfect 10 when it comes to eating for heart health," says Janet Bond Brill, PhD, RD – Nutritionist and author of Prevent a Second Heart Attack and Cholesterol Down. "Nuts contain a treasure trove of nutrients such as protein, fiber, antioxidants, and 'good' fats such as the omega-3s and monosaturated fats."
