1-Minuten-Habit für 28. August
Have a small handful of unsalted nuts
Warum dieses Habit hilft
Harvard's Nurses' Health Study found that eating nuts 5+ times weekly reduces cardiovascular mortality by 29% due to their unique combination of healthy fats, fiber, and plant sterols.
The crunch factor activates jaw muscles that stimulate the hippocampus - the brain's memory center - creating a cognitive boost alongside nutritional benefits.

Kurz erklärt
Ancient Roman soldiers carried walnuts as 'brain food' on campaigns. Modern research confirms nuts' nutritional profile supports cognitive function - the perfect snack when mental energy dips.
Unlike processed snacks that spike blood sugar, nuts provide sustained energy through their ideal 2:1 ratio of unsaturated to saturated fats plus slow-digesting protein.

💬 Deine Erfolgsgeschichten
I replaced my 3pm candy bar with mixed nuts. At first I missed the sugar rush, but within days noticed steadier energy. Now I keep small tins everywhere - my car, bag, office. When I recently had bloodwork, my doctor complimented my improved cholesterol ratios!
