Nuts and seeds are not only delicious, but also nutritious and easy to incorporate into your diet. How about adding them to salads, smoothies, muesli bars or simply as a snack for a healthy and tasty energy boost? But remember, nuts do have calories, so don’t overdo it. However, a handful of nuts a day can really make a difference by providing your body with important nutrients. And if you buy nuts, you should always make sure they are organic. This is the only way to ensure that they are grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers, i.e. without residues and harmful substances. They are also largely GMO-free and contain no unnatural additives. They also have a higher nutrient content than conventionally grown nuts and can therefore better supply your body with important nutrients and strengthen your immune system. With organic nuts, you are also supporting sustainable and environmentally friendly farming practices and helping to preserve biodiversity and species diversity. Sounds good, doesn’t it?
