(BPT) - Small changes to your diet can make a real difference for your heart. Macadamia nuts, like those from Mauna Loa, are gaining attention for their heart-healthy fat profile and versatility.
These nuts are rich in monounsaturated fats and have a balanced ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acids — a combination that research links to improvements in cholesterol levels. Regularly adding macadamias to your diet may help lower total and LDL cholesterol, two important markers of heart health.
They're also easy to incorporate into meals and snacks. A handful can be paired with berries, blended into hummus, or tossed into a tropical slaw. Whether eaten on their own or added to a recipe, macadamias make it easy to boost your intake of healthy fats without major changes to your routine.
