Learn more about these incredible and tasty nuts and use them to the best advantage!
Pecans have an unusual taste but once you try them you will fall in love with these delicious nuts. They also contain a large amount of protein, fats and vitamins that have a beneficial effect on our health. You can add them to different types of food - salads, sandwiches, meat and fish dishes and even desserts.
Here are some health benefits of a pecan:
#1 Reduces cholesterol
A high level of cholesterol causes cardiovascular diseases. With regular use in small amounts, pecans are able to control its level.
#2 Prevents diabetes
Pecans also maintain blood sugar levels and will be useful to those who have obesity or diabetes. If you want to prevent an exacerbation of the disease, you need to eat a handful of pecans 2-3 times a week.
#3 Prevents aging
Pecans also contain antioxidants that prevent the aging process and eliminate the radicals that cause cancer.

Pecans have always been my favorite nuts. I think part of the decline in Americans eating them is because we have been told by most nutritionists that they are too high in fat and we should eat almonds instead. I still have them in my morning oatmeal, put them in Brownies, cookies, cakes and salads. I also love a few pecans and a few raisins for a snack and I am not overweight.
We had several huge pecans trees in our yard at the home I grew up in. We would pick buckets full of them, sit and crack as many as we could eat and make all kinds of salads and desserts with the rest. Love pecans.
I'm bipolar and I'm given to understand that this Disorder leads to one being diabetic (Diabetes B) just as night follows day. This being so I doubt pecan nuts will help avoid becoming diabetic
