MyYogaOnline offers a new article on the health benefits of nuts. This article "Health Benefits of Nuts" lists the top 4 nuts to consume.

Nuts are excellent sources of protein, minerals, healthy mono-unsaturated fats and other nutrients as well they’re good for promoting a healthy cardiovascular system. Consuming nuts has shown to lower the risk of heart disease, lower “LDL” (bad) cholesterol, and aids in reducing body fat and managing body composition.
