Walnuts

But, some more excellent news. One recent study found that eating walnuts(just 3 oz.) per day for 4 weeks reduced total cholesterol by 12%, but even better reduced LDL(bad cholesterol) by 18%! -------------- Strength and Honor!

Expensive, but I find the are a little easier on my mouth and don't have the bitter taste that I used to find with other walnuts. I general eat them crumbled in cereal, cc or yogurt. I enjoy them, but I think almonds are my fav. -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

For more on the benefits of walnuts check out the link I posted at http://www.freetrainers.com/FT/jsp/Message.jsp?f_ix=3&t_ix=3701 (Topic called Nutz About Walnuts!) just copy and past the link in your browser. =) -------------- Motivation\'s not a fantasy, or very hard to find... Looking to others is the key, And giving back is kind. So motivate another, when they fail or start to lack... And when they hit their goal, They just may motivate you back! ;)
